Pele's Fire

 



Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess
Birthdate: Malaki 25, 2021 (03-25-21)

Pele offers her strength and passion to remind us that life’s fiery eruptions and emotional upheavals often clear the path for positive transformations.
Aloha e Pele! (Greetings, Pele!)
The Menehunes clap their hands, jumping up and down with excitement as soon as Pele emerges from the sacred Ohia forest.
Pele always brings the most fascinating news about the flaming spirit of Hawaii’s Volcano Goddess hurling fiery ribbons of lava down the mountain slopes, giving birth to new rock formations and land.

Pele carries a Bamboo Pahu (staff) with a flame of Kilauea Volcano surrounded by sacred Ti leaves. The flame embodies the light of spirit, knowledge and life.

Gifted with a passionate spirit, Menehune girl Pele was named after Hawaii’s Fire Goddess.
Pele’s Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Pele's green and yellow Haku (head lei), wrist and ankle leis. Tutu also sewed Pele’s erupting volcano dress.

Pele’s abundant black hair cascades down her back like the hardened lava flow on the mountain slope.

Pele 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. Her 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 are individually hand crafted.
Pele is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.
Except for her Pahu which can be removed.
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.

Pele is an original design and comes with a booklet and a certificate of authenticity.
Pele is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

Pele reflects the Aloha spirit of Hawaii.

She is ready to be your new friend and shine her way into your heart.

Pele blesses you with her flame of Kilauea Volcano.

Maluhia Ola, the Peaceful Life

 

Halia (Remembrance)
The Hula Dancer
Birth Date: Malaki 16, 2021 (03/16/21)

Oal ke ola, maluhia ke ola
Ho’ola ke ola I ka pono e
Eo maila kea o hulihuli

Live your best peaceful life
Compassion brings healing
Rejoice in enlightened moments

Halia’s dance beckons you to keep your eyes on the heavens and stand with Aloha!

The sacred drumming of the Ipu Heke (gourd drum) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Halia dances, drums and chants with the Akuas (spirits) of the Island.
With honesty, kindness, humbleness and in harmony with her true self, Halia truly lives in the spirit of Aloha.
Dancing with her little sister Alana, the graceful movements of their hands and bodies tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.
The Menehune Ohana (family) watches in awe as the harmony of Ipu Heke, Hula and chant attunes them to spirit and gladdens their heart.


Halia’s Tutu (grandmother) is her Ho’onui’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful chants and movements of the Hula. Tutu and Halia share a deep bond of love and unity.

Tutu sewed Halia's bikini top and pants and crafted her traditional grass skirt.
Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into Halia’s sweet smelling white Puakenikeni flower Haku (head lei), necklace and ankle leis.
Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful one for Halia's Ipu. Then she cleaned and polished it and wrapped a Maile lei around it. Maile is the lei of eternal love.
Tutu blessed the Ipu with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourd is sacred now. Haila’s Ipu was created for her and only she is allowed to touch it.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).
