Na Mahina Hawaii (the Hawaiian Moons)
Author: Wendell Silva
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780986012242
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The moon has been a source of mystical allure and inspiration symbolizing birth, death and regeneration drawing humankind's gaze to the heavens since antiquity. The publication, Na Mahina Hawaii (The Hawaiian Moons) is an unrivaled wealth of metaphysical wisdom and rich with the hidden secrets of Hawaiian lunar astrology. It offers unique insights into the principles, methodology and science of a sacred divination technique practiced by carefully chosen ancient kahuna astrologers. An old yet timeless cultural tradition, it reveals the powerful and eternal influence the moon has on all life on earth. As a practical astrological guide to everyday life, Na Mahina Hawai`i teaches the personal, cultural and spiritual significance of all thirty lunar phases of the Hawaiian lunar calendar as they relate to life's most critical issues - health, personal relationships and occupations. Each natal moon sign is a fascinating astrological profile. Character traits, personal qualities, skills, tendencies, often associated with an ancient god, offer the reader a bounty of valuable knowledge about what is possible or probable in a person's life. One unique feature shared in the book that has never been revealed is that each moon phase is represented by a distinctive Hawaiian color. The root meaning and cultural significance of each color is very detailed. For example, dark purple (poni makue) is associated with the Huna phase of the moon. Poni means to anoint, consecrate, ordain and to bestow blessings. It signifies spiritual empowerment, wisdom, honor and distinction. The author, Kahu Wendell Kalanikapuaenui Silva, a renowned cultural resource and highly respected Native Hawaiian spiritual leader, invites the reader to enter the hidden realm of the mystic to learn how Hawaiian astrologers were able to harness the celestial and terrestrial energy of the moon. Every individual has the opportunity to discover how their natal moon sign can help empower the inner self to become one with the sentient consciousness of the universe.

The Echo of Our Song
Author: Mary Kawena Pukui
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824806682
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Haina ia mai ana ka puana. This familiar refrain, sometimes translated "Let the echo of our song be heard," appears among the closing lines in many nineteenth-century chants and poems. From earliest times, the chanting of poetry served the Hawaiians as a form of ritual celebration of the things they cherished--the beauty of their islands, the abundance of wild creatures that inhabited their sea and air, the majesty of their rulers, and the prowess of their gods. Commoners as well as highborn chiefs and poet-priests shared in the creation of the chants. These haku mele, or "composers," the commoners especially, wove living threads from their own histoic circumstances and everyday experiences into the ongoing oral tradition, as handed down from expert to pupil, or from elder to descendant, generation after generation. This anthology embraces a wide variety of compositions: it ranges from song-poems of the Pele and Hiiaka cycle and the pre-Christian Shark Hula for Ka-lani-opuu to postmissionary chants and gospel hymns. These later selections date from the reign of Ka-mehameha III (1825-1854) to that of Queen Liliu-o-ka-lani (1891-1893) and comprise the major portion of the book. They include, along with heroic chants celebrating nineteenth-century Hawaiian monarchs, a number of works composed by commoners for commoners, such as Bill the Ice Skater, Mr. Thurston's Water-Drinking Brigade, and The Song of the Chanter Kaehu. Kaehu was a distinguished leper-poet who ended his days at the settlement-hospital on Molokai.
