Mana and the Magic Shell
Birth Date: Malaki 12, 2019 (03-12-19)
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
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 sweet smelling Puakenikeni
Haku (head lei) for her beloved Mo'opuna (Granddaughter).
Tutu sewed Mana's orange and green top and matching
wraparound skirt. She crocheted green 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 attunes us to the spirit of Hawaii.
