Heart of Pele, Breath of Kanaloa
Author: Michael E. Hedges
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781489511294
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
In-chu knows not why, only that her heart beats strongly whenever the paths of these two strangers meet. Even now, In-chu is totally unaware of the fact that the new heart beating inside her is in fact that of Teddy's lost lover, a human decended from the primortal union of the ancient Hawaiian Fire Goddess Pele and Kanaloa, the legendary God of the Seas. With a warm smile on her face, In-chu reaches out for Teddy's hand while navigating the narrow stone steps back to the Koi pond all the while looking lovingly into his open eyes. Slowly she takes a small step forward and gives Teddy a soft kiss on the cheek. There, in the stillness of the pond, oblivious to the passers by, the faces of the two lost lovers glimmer with the sun's reflection as they peer into Pele's Pond. Together, arm in arm they slowly walk across the old bridge from the foot of the Byodo Temple towards the flourishing garden. "Do you mind if we stop by and pay my respects to someone up on the hill that is very special to me?" asks Inchu. "Of course not... there is someone up there I come to visit every Sunday too," mentions Teddy gazing towards his father's plot. "Here she is... Without her I probably wouldn't be around today," says Inchu as she places the wild flower atop the grave. Teddy's eyes shudder in a cold stare as he notices the engraving on the granite headstone - it reads... "Forever loved and missed by all who knew and cherished her... Lois Makanamai Ho." Teddy falls to his knees... Tears begin to fill his eyes as the fragmented memories of his first love begin to surface... For the first time in years he can remember clearly the woman in his dreams. Only a few yards away, atop the very same lush grassy hillside of The Valley of the Temples, Teddy's slain father also lies on a nearby family plot. It would seem that he and Lois too would forever be entangled by destiny. Who can say what really happened that day. Perhaps the kindred spirits of two lost souls, once separated by fate, Teddy and that of Lois through In-chu's understanding eyes and rekindled beating heart, have once again found each other... both fulfilling their pre-destined Karma as they take that first small step closer to the promise of forever lasting happiness.

Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Hawaiian Music in Motion explores the performance, reception, transmission, and adaptation of Hawaiian music on board ships and in the islands, revealing the ways both maritime commerce and imperial confrontation facilitated the circulation of popular music in the nineteenth century. James Revell Carr draws on journals and ships' logs to trace the circulation of Hawaiian song and dance worldwide as Hawaiians served aboard American and European ships. He also examines important issues like American minstrelsy in Hawaii and the ways Hawaiians achieved their own ends by capitalizing on Americans' conflicting expectations and fraught discourse around hula and other musical practices.

The Hawaiian Romance of Laieikawai
Author: Anonymous
Publisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1613104685
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
The Laieikawai is a Hawaiian romance which recounts the wooing of a native chiefess of high rank and her final deification among the gods. The story was handed down orally from ancient times in the form of a kaao, a narrative rehearsed in prose interspersed with song, in which form old tales are still recited by Hawaiian story-tellers. It was put into writing by a native Hawaiian, Haleole by name, who hoped thus to awaken in his countrymen an interest in genuine native story-telling based upon the folklore of their race and preserving its ancient customs—already fast disappearing since Cook's rediscovery of the group in 1778 opened the way to foreign influence—and by this means to inspire in them old ideals of racial glory. Haleole was born about the time of the death of Kaméhaméha I, a year or two before the arrival of the first American missionaries and the establishment of the Protestant mission in Hawaii. In 1834 he entered the mission school at Lahainaluna, Maui, where his interest in the ancient history of his people was stimulated and trained under the teaching of Lorrin Andrews, compiler of the Hawaiian dictionary, published in 1865, and Sheldon Dibble, under whose direction David Malo prepared his collection of "Hawaiian Antiquities," and whose History of the Sandwich Islands (1843) is an authentic source for the early history of the mission. Such early Hawaiian writers as Malo, Kamakau, and John Ii were among Haleole's fellow students. After leaving school he became first a teacher, then an editor. In the early sixties he brought out the Laieikawai, first as a serial in the Hawaiian newspaper, the Kuokoa, then, in 1863, in book form. Later, in 1885, two part-Hawaiian editors, Bolster and Meheula, revised and reprinted the story, this time in pamphlet form, together with several other romances culled from Hawaiian journals, as the initial volumes of a series of Hawaiian reprints, a venture which ended in financial failure. The romance of Laieikawai therefore remains the sole piece of Hawaiian, imaginative writing to reach book form. Not only this, but it represents the single composition of a Polynesian mind working upon the material of an old legend and eager to create a genuine national literature. As such it claims a kind of classic interest.

Book Description
Michael and Claudia's decision to move back to Crossroads was to keep their children safe, but they can't escape who they are. Their children, Zachary and Lucia, were destined to be demon hunters-Venators.

As the Venators investigate these locations, they will quickly learn how dangerous their lives are. Hearts will be broken. Teammates will lose their lives.

American Myths, Legends, and Tall Tales [3 volumes]
Author: Christopher R. Fee
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1842
Book Description
A fascinating survey of the entire history of tall tales, folklore, and mythology in the United States from earliest times to the present, including stories and myths from the modern era that have become an essential part of contemporary popular culture. Folklore has been a part of American culture for as long as humans have inhabited North America, and increasingly formed an intrinsic part of American culture as diverse peoples from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania arrived. In modern times, folklore and tall tales experienced a rejuvenation with the emergence of urban legends and the growing popularity of science fiction and conspiracy theories, with mass media such as comic books, television, and films contributing to the retelling of old myths. This multi-volume encyclopedia will teach readers the central myths and legends that have formed American culture since its earliest years of settlement. Its entries provide a fascinating glimpse into the collective American imagination over the past 400 years through the stories that have shaped it. Organized alphabetically, the coverage includes Native American creation myths, "tall tales" like George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree and the adventures of "King of the Wild Frontier" Davy Crockett, through to today's "urban myths." Each entry explains the myth or legend and its importance and provides detailed information about the people and events involved. Each entry also includes a short bibliography that will direct students or interested general readers toward other sources for further investigation. Special attention is paid to African American folklore, Asian American folklore, and the folklore of other traditions that are often overlooked or marginalized in other studies of the topic.
