Today is a day to celebrate the Goddess Laka.
Sister of Pele, goddess of the hula, of dance, of rain, of herbal healing and of tradition. She urges us to keep our treasures and our jounals in order so that they can be passed along to the next generation.
Her altars are temporary and are built of ferns, flowers and herbs.
She celebrates life and encourages us to do the same.

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. Even though I haven't been there yet, I have a strong pull to Polynesia. I have been visualizing it almost daily. Scott Cunningham's book on Hawaiin Magic is on my wishlist. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you check out the link? Some interesting info there.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of temporary floral and herbal altars!
ReplyDeleteI really loved temporary altars too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were Hawaiian Gods and Goddesses, something else I shall have to learn more about! And I love that she celebrates life and encourages us to do the same! Thank you for posting! :)
ReplyDeleteI really need a tropical goddess right now, to remind me the whole world isn't snowed in, like my corner is.
