HAUMEA
(Legendary
Hawaiian Goddess)
Haumea is the great
Earth-Mother.
According to Hawaiian
legend, she embodies the mystical Makalei tree, abundant source of the
Hawaiian food supply. The branches bear various staples
such
as taro, bamboo, coconut, sugarcane, and breadfruit--all pouring forth
infinitely. Haumea gives birth from different parts of her
body--Pele the volcano-goddess as a flame from her
mouth; Hi'iaka the healer as an egg from the extension of her
right
palm,
shown as the supporting tree-root. She holds the Makalei
branch--shown flowering shells--which, when dipped into the
ocean,
attracts fish. As Nu’akea, from her breasts milk
flows
as rivers--through the roots, the sacred Earth, and all of
creation--with life-giving waters in a complete cycle of
eternal
sustenance.
Zariah wrote a child's
version of this story as well, published
in STORIES
FOR
CHILDREN
Magazine's November
2007 issue as
"Haumea the Hawaiian Earth Mother."
It is a fun read and even includes
a hidden pictures puzzle!
