Mana'o, Belief and Essence

Mana’o (Belief),

the Mo’olelo (Story Teller)

Birth Date: ‘Apelila 4, 2019 (04/04/19)

Mana’o, the Mo’olelo uses the power of words

to weave wishes into reality.

High up in the Kaiholena Mountains, Mana’o blows his Pu (conch shell) in the 4 sacred directions, announcing to his Menehune Ohana (family) that he is ready to tell another one of his exciting stories to them. As the powerful sound of Mana’o’s conch shell echoes across the 'Aina (land), the Menehunes come running to the story place in the ferns to hear Mana’o’s new tale.

 Mana’o tells stories about the Menehune Ohana, the Hawaiian animals, the forest, the ocean, and the stars in the Universe. The Menehunes listen to Mana’o’s story in wonder, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, and always full of excitement.

Mana’o’s stories are wonderful!

Mana’o uses his words to weave the story into being. He knows that words and thoughts have tremendous power to shape reality, changing the past, present, and future.

Mana’o knows how to tell your story too!

He uses the power of words to weave wishes into reality.

Mana’o and his sister Pele worship the Akuas (spirits) of the sacred Ohia Forest.

The conch shell was Kuku’s (grandfather’s) gift of Aloha (love) to his Mo’opuna Kane (grandson). Mana’o always carries his conch shell, even when he goes to sleep. The Pu attracts good luck and the courage to manifest dreams.

Mana’o’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed his lava lava (wraparound) out of turquoise cotton with a Honu (turtle) design.

The Honu is Mana’o’s Aumakua (Guardian Spirit). The Honu’s wisdom embraces Mana’o and guides him on his quest

Tutu lovingly wove Mana’o's green feather neck, wrist and ankle leis to invoke divine blessings.

 Mana’o is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. His body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Mana’o is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto him.

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

Every bit of him has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
