Kalani Hanohano

Horrifying Measure FROM KALANI HANOHANO (Worst)In 1981, June introduced me to a uniquely innovative man by the name of Arthur Cathcart. In a series of meetings protected on the pasture of the Iolani Palace in Honolulu, and at June's high-rise in Watanae, Arthur talked about the Hawaii of yesteryear, of ghosts, and of his strain knowledge of the akualele.As I power in black and white in a unlikely barrage of Filled MOON, such strain track record on the subject of a make somewhere your home revolution data with Hawaiian sorcery surprisingly surfaces. Arthur's track record of witnessing the actual processes of akualele arousal is a rare gem, all but old hat to find in wearing literature. Arthur Cathcart's track record was turned happening a stretched falsehood for the April 1982 barrage of Filled MOON. The celebrity of that falsehood was: "On high LIGHTS: In the sphere of the ritual era of a glowing event."What ARE AKUALELETHE Consider OF DR. WILLIAM K. KIKUCHIDr. Kikuchi's revolutionary scan on akualele, "The Fireball in Hawaiian Mythology," was published in 1976 in the book "Advice In Soothing Normal Lettering." (Bishop Museum Coerce). Dr. Kikuchi's paper was aided and pressed by the belatedly Dr. James E. McDonald, University of Arizona. Peak UFO researchers know who Dr. McDonald was and are severely be alive of his countless help to the UFO area.If summon up serves, Dr. Kikuchi was as well a pupil of the belatedly anthropologist Dr. Katherine Luomala, who skilled at the University of Hawaii. She was far-off positive for her work on Hawaiian mythology, so Dr. Kikuchi's paper uses observe that derives from that ground.In his study, Dr. Kikuchi acknowledges that the fireball publish is present more or less the Soothing region: from New Zealand to Hawaii. He comments that the stories of the akualele and other tales of the absurd were recycled to "instruct the listener' and to advance in a insubstantial ventilate and instill a idolization for right and wrong in future areas of behaviour."Social subjugate, if you desire.Pre-european Hawaii was "stratified, integrated and cohesive." In other words, persistent and under subjugate. The ancient Hawaiian Kapu design (a design of laws that forbade the residents from take action unquestionable background under cost of death) was overthrown by Ruler Liholiho in 1819. This was done in order to deplete the absurd foundations of Hawaiian transfer.Asiatics streamed happening the islands beginning in the 1800s, and the Japanese brought with them their own tales of the absurd, by way of stories about the "tama-shii "(glob amble) and the "hinotama "fireball.Dr. Kikuchi acknowledges that the akualele is derived from sorcery and quotes playwright Martha Beckwith:"Sorcery had become one of the strongest forces in determining the life and impression of the Hawaiian residents and in decisive the careers of their leaders."Dr. Kikuchi mentions two kinds of akualele sorcery:The zenith occurred one day trendy Hawaii's ancient unlikely and the molest scum undated (even as it has been discussed by Hawaii historians). According to Hawaiian tradition, on the Hawaiian atoll of Molokai, three "gods" and popular Kikuchi lists their names, entered happening a grove of in the past harmless foliage on the fall of Moanalua. A place with the fixed name of Puuahaukina. Habit states that their keep details happening this grove of foliage occurred "with a ghastly hurry of lightning."The foliage comprising this grove were the "nioi, 'ohe, a'e" and doubtless the "kauila."These foliage became poisoned with a strange power. Engrave with the kindling resulted in death. Fundamental hit by a peel of kindling from these foliage like attempting to cut them down resulted in death.A way was in the end found to clear this toxic kindling happening an image. This image was called "kalaipahoa. "Forest from the "nioi "tree, or images caved from the "nioi "tree were brought happening line with the "Kalai-pahoa" image and energy was transmitted from that image to the "nioi "kindling.This was the beginning of "Kalai-pahoa "fireball sorcery and it was evidently very endemic trendy the control of Ruler Kamehameha I, vis-?-vis 1812.Dr. Kikuch gives us a good personality of "Kalai-pahoa "fireball era, which was I imagine provided by Hawaiian historian Samuel M. Kamakau:"Akualele were described as in close proximity fire rockets,' traveling immense distances. For example it was within the kindling, the god-spirit was jovial. Hitherto, being (the kindling was) dented by its caretaker, it would fly out, glowing as little twinge in exasperate at being disagree with."Unconventional adjustment on akualele utilized "Kalai-paho mana" (I imagine chips of that kindling) detached in a stack. This was referred to as "akua-kumu-haka "sorcery.Dr. Kikuchi posits five prim beliefs about the akualele:1. Fireballs are sent by someone material.2. Fireballs can be out of action by maltreat.3. Fireballs fly quick sparks.4. Fireballs vary in color from red, orange and white to rude.5. Fireballs are omens.Really they are omens. The are omens of someone's outlook death.Dr. Kikuchi summarizes his scan on akualele as follows:The akualele "is extensively described as an slow glob which in hurry resembles a tadpole with a desire follower quick sparks as it flies. This is called the "pu-ali" clear. Its hurry seems to be directional at enhanced tree level, but at become old patchy at apprentice levels. Because of their color ensemble, these akualele can be proven as to the sex of the captured spirit. Red was alleged to session ensemble, these akualele can be proven as to the sex of the captured spirit. Red was alleged to session male, period all lighter shades, from orange to rude, signified the female... The spirit manifests itself as a fiery, glowing fireball, and as it pulsates, it reaches some optimum throng in its hurry. The fireball can be out of action in hurry and shattered solely by maltreat at it. Its part always starts with a tough present yourself which does not harm residents standing nearby; neither does it heave subsidiary fires. Upon present yourself, each piece moves about on the ground; and these according to one foundation, are the "'e' epa "residents who continue about to do their missions of habit."THE AKUALELE ACCORDING TO ARTHUR CATHCART As I power in the past recounted, I was zenith introduced to Mr. Cathcart put on the right track authoress June Gutmanis. He traveled a good disconnect on the bus to assert his countless schedule with us. He was never belatedly. He never complained. I found him to be a exact man, a man of serious integrity.Arthur Cathcart "...a Hawaiian-ha ole, was untrained in the Paloma pin down of Honolulu in 1903 His set off was English, vice-president of Wilder Steamship Dealings. His Hawaiian grandparents had been invited to Ruler Kahlua's coronation. They took Arthur to Molokai at the age of four to remedy a firm bug with Hawaiian heal. At the back his return to Honolulu at the age of eight for schooling, he continued to management holidays with his grandparents on Molokai someplace he scholarly furthest about his Hawaiian cultural legacy and traditions.'He attended a Catholic University for approximately two get-up-and-go. At the back he dropped out, he went to work as a dance scholarly and keeper for Matson Party. Previously he was 10, he went to Hollywood with Charlie King's music group, someplace performances of plays about the monarchy were put on."He returned to Honolulu, worked as a Hawaiian Pineapple Dealings cover vindication for 25 get-up-and-go until his retirement."Arthur attended all Prince Kuhio's and Queen Liliuokalani's funerals. He never married, and has always lovesick an energetic affection in preserving his Hawaiian cultural legacy."Many of Hawaii's kahunas were specialist on the atoll of Molokai. Many Hawaiians were not too screech about being vis-?-vis these sorcerers. Arthur Cathcart told me a fully describing story which summarizes the beliefs of the standard Hawaiian to these dabblers of difficulty. He told me that very methodically, being a kahuna sorcerer accomplish training, he would move to a position of his way out on one of the islands. For example this happened, it would not be an outstanding scene to see country of that pin down pack up their things and move out. Such was their alarm bell of living nearby to these artisans of the darkside.My consultation with Mr. Cathcart appeared in my April 1983 barrage of Filled MOON. I did not surround everything he disclosed to me. Show were background that were discussed, for the most part about spirit accept, that confused me.Indubitable Kahunas knew how to accept and enslave spirits ("unihipili)". These spirits were captured and placed stuffing ti-leaf bundles that we time "pu'olo". I asked Arthur countless questions about this. Any witnesses?Yes, donate are live in who power witnessed the process. Arthur was one of them. And he described to all June Gutmanis and I how it was done. And being Arthur accomplish his contrive, I sat back, and previously all these get-up-and-go, I undisturbed honor my response;"Oh... my... god! Oh...my...god! It's so damned simple!Capably, it's not simple in the thoroughness that any Tom, Dick, or Hillary could do it. It's the "logic" of it that is gorgeous.Let me put it this way. Indubitable Kahunas, live in who authority the difficulty, had a very, very hoarse understanding of not in a minute the pre-death state, but the actual dissolution process which have a fight in unchangeable death. And they as well knew about the vulnerabilities suffered by the spirit trendy this point. And they oppressed it.The reader can infer no press forward reading from me on this notes. It desire solely not be impending. What the spiritual machinery of the kahunas is flawlessly enchanting, I find all the physical and spiritual dependent territory of any personality furthest less their spirit - to be despicable.Afterward captured these caged souls would be detached in a "pu'olo "stack made of kapa and ti-leaves. They desired to be fed and cared for. In an unpublished idea in black and white to Try magazine by the belatedly Mr. Theodore Kelsey (Hawaiian translator) he has this to say about the feeding of spirits:"The detention of an "unihipili "incurred a serious work to its holder, for if prayer and humanity were low, the letdown demur would turn opposed to its caretaker and smack him, with awkward cost."Fashionable my scan for sources of information on conjuring proceedings in Hawaii I had the immense delight of role and tongue with primarily Honolulu Adjust Area (HPD) Adjust Cover Bernard Suganuma. Immensely kindhearted with his time, Mr. Suganuma not in a minute affirmative HPD society with high strangest belongings, but as well appropriate an data that he had with a dynasty in the Spackle pin down of of Oahu. This dynasty detached a "pu'olo "stack in a basket in their home. He important he could entertain this stack underground eruption and moving as if everything that was baffled stuffing truly wanted to get out.I power always had an barrage with the whole notions of feeding entities (spirits) and I power never familiarly implicit the Japanese tradition of quick fruits and other provisions on the graves of their valued ones. I come from a level set of beliefs. Let them go to someplace they power to go. Don't let them slow down popular.
