Menehune Mana

 

Pono (Harmony), the Menehune

Tutu Lulu, the Menehune Kupuna

Birthdate: Kepakemapa 19, 2024 (09/16/24)

Pono inspires Aloha and the lifestyle of Hawaiian Pono, which unites body,

mind and spirit in balance and harmony.

Full of mischief and excitement, Pono happily skips through the enchanting Ohia forest. Lots of treasures, like rocks, nuts and fruits, are everywhere. Pono picks up everything that looks special to him and carefully puts it in the pouch Tutu (grandma) crocheted for him.

Smiling happily, Tutu (grandma) Lulu (Peace) walks slowly and peacefully through the enchanting Ohia forest. She is looking for her favorite Lehua flowers, the beautiful magical blossoms of the indigenous Hawaiian Ohia Tree, which is the first form of life to grow directly out of the hardened black lava. Lehua means 'Flower of the Gods'.

Today she found a big orange Lehua flower and that is her gift to you!

Tutu Lulu channels peace and happiness.

Lulu is a Kupuna, one of the older people honored with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors by all. Kupunas are the source of experience, knowledge, guidance, strength and inspiration to the next generations. They are a blessing being the ones we came from, who have lived before us and who we live for today.

In Hawaii the Menehunes are often called "The Little People of the Secret Power" and referred to as the legendary, original inhabitants of the islands. Menehunes are mystical, shy little creatures who hide in secret places of the forest during the day, and perform their magic at night under the glow of the moon.
Many People in Hawaii have actually seen Menehunes.

Tutu Lulu and Pono take the greatest pleasure in doing good deeds to help people. With their great determination and perseverance, they possess a magical ability to get things done.

Pono loves playing, dancing, singing, swimming, and, most of all, eating. If you hanai (adopt) him, love him, and take care of him, he will love you in return with unconditional Aloha, guide, protect, and inspire you on your life's journey.

Tutu Lulu sewed his lavalava (wraparound) and Kihei (shawl) out of Tapa cloth. She also crocheted his Menehune hat and crafted his sacred Maile and Kukuit Nut lei. Kukui represents inner light, hope and renewal, spirit revealing itself. Maile is the lei of eternal love. All these things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha to her beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson).

Tutu Lulu sewed her black dress with a big Hibiscus flower design. She crocheted a turquoise collar and matching shoes for herself. Last Lulu stuck a big turquoise bow into her white hair.
