Artwork Description

Moonlight Lady

0.0 x 0.0

Born of the Po (the night) the ancient Hawaiians shared a special kinship with the heavenly realm of the Gods. Night was the source of their maternal connection to the spirit world of their ancestral deities. The moon (ka mahina) was associated with the legendary goddess Hina. The moon governed almost every aspect of the spiritual life of the early Hawaiians. The moon offered the promise of a new beginning and rejuvenation…thus from dusk to dawn the moon was a visible spiritual symbol celestially representing the eternal continuum of life, death and the prospect of spiritual rebirth.
