"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."--
