Goddess Hi'iaka

 

Hi'iaka is the Hawaiian goddess of rebirth.

Hi'iaka is the personification of Hawaii, and she is the daughter of Haumea and sister of Pele.

She controls the hills, cliffs, and caverns.

She is the patroness of hula dancers and the inventor of dance.

Hi'iaka resurrects her sweetheart each time Pele kills him, unwilling to sacrifice him or the love they share.

Hi'iaka was created from Haumea's cosmic egg, which was kept warm in Pele's bosom.

She is celebrated with dancing and singing as a joyous goddess.

Goddess Haumea

 

Haumea is the Hawaiian goddess of motherhood.

The mystical Makalei tree, which grows coconut, bamboo, and sugarcane and attracts fish when its branches are dipped in the ocean, represents Haumea.

She is a goddess of plenty, ensuring that her offspring are always fed and nurtured.

Haumea gives birth to the Hawaiian gods from various bodily parts, including Pele and Hi'iaka, as the holy mother.

Her breast milk creates the world's rivers, and she matures from Maiden to Crone in an endless cycle, signifying the cycle of life and the planet.
