Laka Hula Goddess


LAKA HULA AKUA - LAKA HULA GODDESS as visualized at Ke'e, on the north side of Kauai. Some legends say that this was the birthplace of the hula. It is considered to be a sacred place where hula dancers often come to make offerings. It is believed that great dancers aren't merely inspired. They invite deities to enter themselves so that the mana of deities, birds, animals, trees, the sea, wind, lightning, and rain could be brought forth. This is an important facet of old Hawaiian civilization.
