Wehiwehi i ka nahele

Ka uhi pa`a ka noe

Me anuenue i ke awawa

Home of Kamapua`a

Adorned with growth

Covered with mist

With rainbows in the valley"

According to Hawaiian legend, Kamapua’a was born on the island of Oahu. Kamapua’a had superhuman powers and was often referred to as Pua’a Akua (Hog God). As a kupua (demigod) he could change at will from a handsome loveable man to a destructive hog.
Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, and Kamapua’a were once lovers. Their romance didn’t last very long and soon turned into competitive battles, in which Kamapua’a unsuccessfully tried to extinguish Pele’s flame.
Many formations around the islands are considered evidence of the fierce battles between Pele and Kamapua’a. Eventually, Pele granted Kamapua’a to reign in the rainforests of Kohala, Hamakua and

Kamapua’a became protector of the pigs and the cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.

Kamapua’a and his Pua’a (Pig) are Hunters of Aloha, caretakers of the forest and the Menehune’s guardians. Together they walk fearlessly through the beautiful Kaiholena Mountains watching for dangers and threats to their beloved Ohana (family).
Kamapua’a carrying his lei o mano (shark’s lei club), and Pua’a with his tusks are always ready to protect their loved ones and shield them in a safe cloud of Aloha.
Pua’a is Kamapua’as Aumakua (Guardian Spirit). They are so closely connected that they have become inseparable friends.
Kamapua’a carved his lei o mano out of Koa wood and surrounded it with shark teeth. Only Gods and the Ali’i are allowed to use the lei o mano.
After Kamapua’a finished his lei o mano, he blessed it with a prayer and salt water from the Pacific Ocean for purification and protection.

Kamapua’a wears a beige Malo (loincloth), a Kupukupu (fern) Haku (head lei), neck and ankle leis. Hawaiian tree ferns represent spiritual strength, unity and love. His neck is adorned with a pig tusk amulet. Pua’a wears a Plumeria flower behind his ear.

Rainbows of Hawaii

O ka 'onohi ula o ka lani ko inoa

The rainbow of heaven is your name

Anuenue, the Hawaiian rainbow, is the pathway between dimensions in Hawaiian mythology. The rainbow was often associated with messages from the spirit world and death. Death was believed to be a transformation of the soul where it began to move between the earth and upper realms of the ancestors. The soul then became a god who was able to enjoy earthly abundance. The rainbow was the path the Gods used to travel from Nu'umealani, 'the sacred raised land of the heavenly ones', down to earth. 
The rainbow is a symbol of transformation and pathways to the heavens of raised consciousness and enlightenment. The clouds and shadows in nature and within ourselves are illuminated by the rainbow. The rainbow shines light upon all that interferes with unity and wholeness.

O ka 'onohi ula o ka lani ko inoa

The rainbow of heaven is your name

'Ula' means flame, 'Inoa' means name. The rainbow ignites the spiritual in your name. It refers to those who are related by the fire in their spirits, which burns for peace, harmony, justice and love of the earth. In the heat of this fire, Rainbow Warriors fight fear and doubt pursuing the rainbow path. The ancient wisdom of the rainbow can be found in all cultures and is actively used to eternalize peace and harmony in the world. Rainbow Warriors teach this ancient wisdom to those who have forgotten.

Clouds, thunder, lightning and rain precede the shining beauty of every rainbow. As you go through transformations and move on to new realms of existence, the rainbow lights the way to your pot of gold.

Anuenue,the Hawaiian Rainbow Goddess, is a messenger of the Gods. Also called, the Beauty of Manoa, she was born of the divine wind and rain of Manoa Valley on Oahu. Since ancient times the valley has been regarded as “the royal palace of rainbows,” where Anuenue, the beautiful Rainbow Maiden, can be seen playing wherever the light of sun touches the misty rain. Anuenue is so beautiful that a rainbow follows her wherever she goes.
Anuenue was raised by her grandmother Waka in a secret forest clearing in Manoa Valley. Waka surrounded her Mo'opuna Wahine (granddaughter) in a fine mist to guard her maidenhood until she would be ready to marry a man of highest royalty. There Anuenue lives up to this day.
Her 'I’iwi bird guardians bring her gifts of Ohia Lehua blossom as Anuenue watches over the Aina (sacred land). 

Rainbows are seen so frequently in Hawaii, that the Islands are often called 'the Rainbow State'.
To the ancient Hawaiians rainbows were a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Babies destined to become great chieftains were born with rainbows over their homes and accompanied by rainbows throughout their lives. 

Rainbow Warrior

Rainbows were such an important part of Hawaiians culture that they were often portrayed in petroglyphs. A woman with an arch or rainbow signifies she is wise, honored and respected. A man and a rainbow in a petroglyph is interpreted as the keeper of the land and its people. Such petroglyphs are found in the Big Island’s lava fields and in the sacred Iao Valley of Maui.

Some natives have said that each color of the rainbow represents a Goddess and thinking of that color will bring about the element associated with it:

-White represents the element of water and the Goddess Hina who bestows knowledge and awareness.

-Earth Goddess Haumea promises freedom and release. She bears the color red. A stone is used as her element.

-Orange is for the Volcano Goddess Pele who infuses energy and focus. She commands the fire element.

-Yellow is for the Goddess Hi’iaka who gives presence and purpose. Her element is the wind.

-Purple is for Goddess Uli, who endows success and effectiveness. People are her element.

-Green is for the element of plants and Goddess Laka, who showers love and compassion.

-Blue is for the Goddess Kapo, the giver of power and ability. An animal is her element.

The rainbow represents the bridge that connects us to the source.

Magical Hawaiian Art Doll Anuenue was created in honor of the beautiful Hawaiian rainbow and its inspiring spiritual significance.

The rainbow of heaven is your name

Believe in your dreams and follow Anuenue on the rainbow path.

Like the rainbow, her Mana (spiritual energy) illuminates the way to your pot of gold.

The gentle drum of the Ipu (gourd) echoes through the Ohia Forest as a beautiful rainbow slowly approaches the Menehune village. Full of excitement, the Menehunes run to the gathering place. Anuenue is coming! She is their bringer of good luck and prosperity.

Anuenue chants softly to the sound of her Ipu worshipping the enchanting Ohia Forest.

Anuenue is named after the Hawaiian Rainbow Goddess. Anuenue is so lovely that a rainbow follows her wherever she goes. One of the most beautiful rainbows just couldn't let go and imbued itself onto her dress.

Anuenue's head is adorned with a rainbow and surrounded by a halo of fragrant Maile. 

Maile is the lei of eternal love.
Anuenue’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed her sky-blue cotton dress and drew a beautiful rainbow on it.

Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful of the Ipus. She cleaned and polished it. The Ipu was her sacred gift of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna (granddaughter) and became Anuenue’s most treasured possession.

He'e Wahine I Ka Lani!

Lucy is a Goddess in the Surf!

He'e Ana I Ka Lala,

Ho'iana I Kamuku

Sliding across the face of a wave,

returning to the curl.

Lucy's best friend and greatest teacher is the ocean.

When the surf is up, Lucy runs down to Punalu’u Black Sands Beach. She can’t wait to get into the ocean. Her heart dances with Hopupu (excitement) as she eagerly anticipates the challenges of the great waves.

Surfing is magical; it has become her way of life!

Lucy and her Kuku (grandfather) made the Olo (surfboard) together. First, they chose the right Hawaiian Wiliwili tree for the board. Before cutting the tree, they faced towards the sea and said a prayer of thanks for the wood they would use. They honored the spirit of the tree by burying a fish beneath it. Last Lucy and Kuku drew a big Kahiki (pineapple) on the Olo. 

Lucy just loves eating Kahikis!
The wooden Olo is Lucy’s most treasured possession. She always carries it with her, even when she goes to sleep.

Lucy’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed her blue and yellow pineapple swimsuit. She wove a Lauhala hat with a green Hulu (feather) lei to protect Lucy from the sun. Last Tutu lovingly put a fragrant Plumeria flower in her hair.
All these things were Tutu’s and Kuku's sacred gifts of Aloha (Love) to their beloved Mo'opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Huna, the Hidden Knowledge of Hawaii

 

The word “Huna” means secret, inner knowing or hidden knowledge enabling us to connect to our highest wisdom.

Huna is believed to have been developed tens of thousands of years ago by ancient Polynesian cultures. Huna was and is the Hawaiian people’s basic truth of life which they learned through their close connection to and awareness of nature. 

The 7 principles of Huna are:

Ike– The world is what you think it is

Kala– There are no limits, everything is possible

Makia – Energy flows where attention goes

Manawa – Now is the moment of power

Aloha – To love is to be happy

Mana – Power comes from within

Pono – Effectiveness is the measure of truth

Ike
The Ike principle focuses on the power of thought and manifesting desires. What we think and believe creates our reality.

Kala

There are no limits. The limits that we see exist only in our minds and are not imposed by anything outside of ourselves.

Makia
Energy flows where attention goes. Be purposeful with where you focus your energy! Your life is where your attention goes, both positive and negative.

Manawa
The presence is the point of power. The past and future can be positively affected by acting in the present – but not by focusing on the past or future.

Aloha
Love is happiness. In the spirit of Hawaii Aloha has many meanings. Aloha is love, the breath of life and compassion for all.

Mana
Mana is the soul of Hawaii. Mana means spiritual energy in the Hawaiian language. Mana merges with the spirits of nature. Our greatest strengths and powers lie in the Mana within us.

Pono
Hawaiian Pono is the lifestyle of righteousness. Truth is a virtue. To live Pono is to live to your highest moral ability, as it relates to your truth. This might be through random acts of kindness, treating your neighbor as you’d like to be treated, telling the truth or volunteering.

By integrating mind, body and spirit, the seven principles of Huna enable healing and harmony through the power of consciousness.

The wisdom of Huna inspired the creation of Tutu and her Mo'opunas.

(Grandmother and her Granddaughters)

Makia (Energy)

Hiku (Seven)

Lali (Sunshine)

Birth Date: Pepeluali 14, 2023 (02/14/23)

Makia’s, Hiku’s and Lali’s Hula and chants perpetuate Mana (spiritual energy), 

Ao (light) and Aloha (love).

Kea He Makani O Aloha.

The gentle wafting breeze of love.

As grandmother and granddaughters, Tutu Makia, Hiku and Lali share a deep bond of love and unity.

Tutu Makia is Hiku’s and Lali’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught them the powerful chants and movements of the Hula.
The sacred drumming of the Ipu Heke (double gourd) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Tutu Makia chants and calls upon the Akuas (spirits):

E Hō Mai

Ka ‘ike mai luna mai ē

I nā mea huna no'eau

O nā mele ē

E hō mai, e hō mai, e hō mai ē

Grant us knowledge from above

The knowledge hidden in the chants

Grant us. Grant us. Grant us these things.

The Kaona (hidden meaning) enhances the mystic of Oli (chant) and Hula. The knowledge and traditional practices have been passed on for generations within Tutu Makia’s Hula lineage.
Makia passes on and teaches this source of knowledge integrating the 7 Principles of Huna to her beloved Mo’opunas. Huna connects them to the highest wisdom.

Hula and Oli come from the heart. They mirror the beauty of nature and radiate Aloha.

Makia is one of the seven Huna principles and means ‘Energy flows where attention goes.

In the Hawaiian language Hiku means seven in reference to the seven Huna principals.

Lali’s name means sunshine in Hawaiian. Lali was born with a smile on her face and 

is the sunshine of her Ohana (family).

Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu Makia picked 2 of the most beautiful ones for her Ipu Heke (double gourd). She cleaned and polished them, put them together and wrapped a Kukui nut lei around the center. Makia blessed the Ipu with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The Ipu Heke is sacred now. Only Makia is allowed to touch it. The Ipu Heke is a manifestation and Kinolau (body form) of Lono, the Hawaiian God of Peace.

Tutu sewed Hiku’s, Lali’s and her own matching Pa’u Hula skirts out of green fabric with a Monstera leaf design. Everybody wears black pants and tops with their skirts.
Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into Hiku’s, Lali’s and her own sweet smelling Puakenikeni flower Haku (head lei), necklace, wrist and ankle leis.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opunas.
