Customer Reviews

I've seen worse Huna books.

Mr. Cunningham clearly did his research on this book. This book contains a fairly comprehensive list of deities.However; IMHO Mr. Cunningham allowed his Wiccan beliefs to shade his perceptions of the Huna faith. Both Huna and Wicca are Shamanic religions, but they are radicaly different.

Sharing the Magick

Reading this book you will come to know the love that Scott Cunningham has for Hawaii: the land, its people, and its magick. Through his writing you not only learn about the spirituality and practices, but of the heart and beauty of Hawaii. Scott also speaks of his relations with the Goddess Pele, and his other experiences in the land. Another must for Cunningham fans, or those who wish wishing to explore the magick of the islands.

hawaiian magic and spirituality

Scott Cunningham takes us on a mystical trip into paradise with "Hawaiin myth and magic". His book is concise, clearly written, and categorized neatly into 3 sections; explaining the connections between the dieties, people, myth, religion, majic, land (one of the few books I've found that do so!)Also included is a convenient Hawaiian glossery, Hawaiian Lunar calender. I found this book a joy to read and quite an inspiration to visit the natural wonders of Hawaii.

A Fascinating study of the Hawaiian Pantheon

Has Scott Cunningham written a book that doesn't show up on every Wiccan's shelf? Even if you aren't interested in the Hawaiian pantheon, the study of the culture alone provides great reading. The information here is priceless, showing that Cunningham actually went to the source rather than to the library
