Kaiona, Goddess of the Lost

 

“E Kaiona aloha I kuhia mai ke `ala.”

O Beloved Kaiona, Goddess of the Lost, let the pathway be pointed out.

Kaiona resides in Ka`ala, the biggest mountain range on the island of Oahu, where the sacred Ohia trees grow with their radiant, red Lehua flowers blooming in abundance.
Kaiona’s name means beautiful ocean. She is a goddess of great spiritual wisdom guiding those who need help with the gentle kindness of her loving heart.
Kaiona helps anyone who loses his way in the mountains by sending her ‘Iwa bird to guide them onto the right

“He lokomaika‘i ka manu o Kaiona. Kind is the bird of Kaiona.” 

Kaiona offers physical and spiritual guidance for those who are lost in body or soul. Sometimes the soul is adrift in darkness and confusion. Wherever we are, Kaiona awaits our call, gracing us with her loving presence to illuminate a path into the light.

The enchanting Aloha spirit of the Goddess of the Lost inspired the creation of Magical Hawaiian Art Dolls  Kaiona and 'Iwa.

Birth Date: Malaki 6, 2023 (03/06/23)

Pray to, dance and sing for Kaiona!

Wherever you are, she awaits your call and will grace you with her loving presence 

to illuminate a path into the light.

Kaiona is named after the kindhearted Hawaiian Goddess of the Lost. Kaiona means “Beautiful Ocean”.

Kaiona has a loving, gentle heart and never-ending compassion for those in need of help.

Kaiona’s Aumakua (ancestral spirit) is ‘Iwa, the indigenous Hawaiian frigate bird. Together, Kaiona and ‘Iwa walk through the sacred Ohia forest offering guidance and support to all who are lost in body or souls.
If anybody wanders off in the forest, Kaiona asks ‘Iwa to lead him to the proper path.
‘Iwa soars and glides gracefully through the air, guiding the lost back to their Ohana (family). Celebrating their loved one’s safe return, the Ohana chants:

”He lokomaika‘i ka manu o Kaiona.” 

Kind is the bird of Kaiona.

Sometimes people feel sad and confused. They then call on Kaiona, who always appears without fail to share her insights and provide guidance and comfort. Kaiona’s kindhearted Mana (spiritual energy) helps to resolve all worries and troubles. Soon everybody once again wears big smiles of happiness and contentment on their faces.

Kaiona’s dress and her matching panties are like a beautiful cascading shower of red flowers.
She has long black hair, blue eyes and a gentle, caring smile on her face.

Kaiona’s Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into the Maile leis Kaiona wears around her head, wrists and neck. Maile is the lei of eternal love.

Kaiona is a 10” tall cloth doll. She was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.

The body is made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted.
Kaiona is not dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.

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. You may gently comb her hair.

‘Iwa is made out of faux fur and black feathers.
