An extensive examination of Hawaiian spiritual tradition and its emphasis on ancestral spirits by a descendant of an ancient lineage of Hawaiian priests • Describes the time-honored intergenerational bond between a people and a land that embodies the heart of indigenous spirituality • A powerful and authentic portrait of a culture on the cusp of extinction In Hawaiian spiritual tradition, the sacred bond formed between the land and its people is perpetuated in every new generation by the voices of the ancestors who pass on this inheritance. Just as elders are the intermediaries between these voices and the younger generations, the na aumakua, or ancestral spirits, are the intermediaries between the living and the sacred land they inhabit. In The Seven Dawns of the Aumakua Moke Kupihea takes the reader on his journey from childhood to young manhood as he experiences what remains of the spirit of his ancestors and learns the importance of remembering. The descent of the aumakua and its spiritual link through the eyes, sound, voice, touch, people, and breath constitute its seven dawns--the means by which the author is reawakened to his native tradition. The author’s desire to know this tradition leads him as a young boy to seek out his kupuna--his elders, the old men of the mountains--and learn from them the stories to be found in each feature of the landscape. These men and the people he meets as he grows older became his kahu--his ancestral guardians--who teach him to understand that the world of ancestral voices still speaks, if only in a whisper. Learning how to hear these voices is the key for returning Hawaii to its proud spiritual path and learning to live mindfully and soulfully with the land and with all who have come before us.

The Aloha Spirit is Alive and Thriving!Many are not aware of the ancient stories of creation and history revealed through the oral traditions of ancient Hawaiian (Mu) chant and song.Most are only aware of Hawaiian history from the most recent migrations dating back to between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago.The Hawaiian stories of creation and ancient history begin way before any known timeline generally understood and accepted today, perhaps millions of years.This book was written to help bring crystal clarity and deep insight from a much higher viewpoint and much longer rhythm regarding the Aloha Spirit origins and the birth of the True Essence of Hawaiian Spirituality.It is offered from sources of pure Hawaiian spiritual understanding and perspectives - beginning with and according to – ancient Hawaiian chants, songs, and oral history,as Hawaiian true and pure spiritual essence IS found foremost in their chants, songs, and oral history.Along with this, passed down across the ages and through generations of Hawaiian families, there are Hawaiian descendants, both in the past, and living today, whose specific role was/is to carry these traditions, teachings, and wisdoms forth.as well as drawing upon the ancient Hawaiian chants, songs and oral history, my hope and inspiration is to help create a new, deeper and more true understanding of the Aloha Spirit andthe True Essence of Hawaiian Spirituality.

Ho'omana examines what happened to Native Hawaiian beliefs from the time the priests ended traditional temple worship in 1819 to the present day controversies over sacred sites and objects. As a former Cultural Affairs Officer for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Malcolm Naea Chun was actively involved in the early initiatives of cultural and historic preservation and knows well of the conflicts and struggles that involve and invoke Hawaiian beliefs. He has written and published several articles on the historical dialogue between traditional religion and Christianity. In Ho'omana, Chun uses primary Native Hawaiian sources to compare pre-contact practices with contemporary beliefs and practices, looking for what has been retained, what has changed, and which current practices should be considered questionable as Native Hawaiian. This book is one of eleven short volumes of the Ka Wana series, which is part of the Pihana Na Mamo Native Hawaiian Education Program.

Hawaiian mythology represents a complex belief system and a pillar of Hawaiian culture. Despite their mysticism and being banned by the Christian missionaries until the 20th century, Hawaiian myths survived by oral narratives passed down through generations and are still thriving today. The songs and chants tell those curious how life on earth was created on Po from utter darkness, with the appearance of the spirit of Keawe. Later, the spirit evolved into different divinities, humankind, and other living beings. Due to this, it is believed that all beings share a kindred spirit and can use this for spiritual communication. According to Hawaiian lore, the ancient spiritual force (mana) inhabits even sacred words and inanimate objects. To this day, Hawaiian natives honor their religion regarding everything from animals to the smallest mountain rocks as their relatives.

With a historical and sociological perspective, it examines in detail their beliefs: the structure of their society; the names and ways of the deities; the practice of deifying ancestral spirits; the importance of dance, colors, water, stone and plants; and the concept of Mana, the spiritual power in all things.

Ku and Hina—man and woman—were the great ancestral gods of heaven and earth for the ancient Hawaiians. They were life's fruitfulness and all the generations of mankind, both those who are to come and those already born. The Hawaiian gods were like great chiefs from far lands who visited among the people, entering their daily lives sometimes as humans or animals, sometimes taking residence in a stone or wooden idol. As years passed, the families of gods grew and included the trickster Maui, who snared the sun, and fiery Pele of the volcano. Ancient Hawaiians lived by the animistic philosophy that assigned living souls to animals, trees, stones, stars, and clouds, as well as to humans. Religion and mythology were interwoven in Hawaiian culture; and local legends and genealogies were preserved in song, chant, and narrative. Martha Beckwith was the first scholar to chart a path through the hundreds of books, articles, and little-known manuscripts that recorded the oral narratives of the Hawaiian people. Her book has become a classic work of folklore and ethnology, and the definitive treatment of Hawaiian mythology. With an introduction by Katherine Luomala.

"The only book of its kind exclusively dedicated to the spiritual significance of the Hawaiian lunar calendar...provides a fascinating in-depth perspective of the belief system of the indigenous Hawaiian people, their pre-Christian view of a person as a living spirit being and the underlying concept of mana, or innate spiritual energy that manifests in all things. It defines the spiritual oneness that the early Hawaiians intuitively shared in union with the natural order of the universe and all things in existence. Journey back to a period in Hawaii's remote primeval past, to experience a time of antiquity when the nightly phases of the moon governed almost every aspect of the daily spiritual lifestyle of the ancient Hawaiians. Be transported to a legendary time in the islands when religious taboos, superstition and magical practices prevailed and the teachings of the kahuna powerfully influenced the spiritual destiny of the Hawaiian people. Enter the domain of the sacred, to explore the mysterious secret realm of the kahuna and become one with the sentient consciousness of the divine spirit."--
