Incense of the day: Ginger In Hawaii, during the month of September, the Aloha festival is celebrated. Although this festival commenced in the 1940s to celebrate the diversity of cultures that exist in Hawaii, the choice of autumn for this event has Pagan origins. In ancient Hawaii, it was the time of Makahiki, which is the period following the harvest. This makes it a good time to honor a Hawaiian deity. Hina, one of the oldest Hawaiian goddesses, is also known throughout the Pacific as Sina or Ina. Her name is derived from the word wahine, which means "woman," so it's no surprise that she represents feminine energy, the Moon, and the ocean. To connect with Hina today, take a luxurious bath with your favorite oil. Imagine the healing properties of water relaxing and energizing you. After your bath, adorn your body in a tropical scented lotion such as coconut, banana, or papaya, and honor your sacred feminine energy. |
