The sacred drumming of the Ipu (gourd) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Hina chants to the Akuas (spirits) of the moon: Hoʻike aʻe ʻoe A i kou nani Reveal your Beauty Because of her devotion to the moon’s Mana (spiritual energy), Hina was named after the Hawaiian Goddess of the Moon. Hina blesses her Menehune Ohana (family) with new growth, intuition and creativity by generously sprinkling the stars of heaven from her cosmic Ipu upon them. The Menehunes watch in awe as the heavenly stars attune them to spirit and gladden their hearts. At night, Hina dwells under the night sky. Feeling like a sparkling diamond shining among the stars, she gets lost in the majestic beauty of the moon. Hina cradles her celestial Ipu, releasing the stars which are the seeds of the heavens. |

Hina's Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana and Aloha into her pink flower Haku (head lei), ankle and wrist leis. Tutu also sewed Hina’s blue moon dress and matching panties. Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful of the Ipus for Hina. After she cleaned and polished it, the gourd became Hina’s celestial Ipu. All these precious things were Tutu's gifts of Aloha for her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter). |
