Mana and the Magic Shell

Birth Date: ʻOkakopa 28, 2018 (10-28-18)

Mana's spiritual energy empowers, enchants, flows and radiates.

Ma’ema’e ke ‘ala e holo ala

E ala mai, E naue mai, E noke mai e

Clear the path to move on

Awake, Move, Persevere

Herb Kawainui Kane’s painting ‘Legend of the Magic Shell’ inspired the creation of Mana and the Magic Shell.

Chanting to the sacred song of the sea shell she stands in, secrets of the ocean are revealed to Mana. Her dreams and wishes manifest. The magic of the shell carries her to secret places of the heart.

Mana's chants touch the heart and reach deeply into the ancestor’s world. Mana is honoring the Akuas (spirits) of the ‘Aina (land).

Aglow with focused energy, strength and agility, Mana merges with the spirits of nature.

Mana means spiritual energy in the Hawaiian language. Mana is the soul of Hawaii.

In the Aloha (compassion) spirit, the Lōkahi (unity) spirit, and the Pono (righteousness) spirit, Mana's chants honor the Akuas, tell stories about Aumakuas (ancestral guardians), respect for all things and the sacredness of life.

Mana’s magic sea shell chants inspire us to awake, move forward and persevere,

to embrace our spiritual energy with intention, determination and courage.

Mana’s Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana  (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into the white Hulu (feather) lei for her beloved Mo'opuna (Granddaughter). The Hulu is believed to link to the divine.

Tutu sewed Mana's white and green top and matching wraparound skirt. She crocheted white lace panties and little shoes for Mana.

Mana is about 4” tall, fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Mana has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. She is attached to the conch shell. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.

Mana is a one of a kind display doll handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii. Mana comes with her story and a certificate of authenticity.

Mana is ready to be your new friends and chant her way into your heart.

Mana attunes us to the spirit of Hawaii.
