The Little People of the Secret Power
In Hawaii the Menehunes are often called "The Little People of the Secret Power" and referred to as the legendary, original inhabitants of the islands. Menehunes are mystical, shy little creatures who hide in secret places of the forest during the day, and perform their magic at night under the glow of the moon.
Many People in Hawaii have actually seen Menehunes.
Menehunes take the greatest pleasure in doing good deeds to help people. With their great determination and perseverance, they possess a magical ability to get things done.
Hawaiian Menehune Art Dolls are enchanting, lovable, creative, and sometimes mischievous little creatures.
They are so closely connected to their Aumakuas, like Honu, the Hawaiian Turtle, Pua'a, the pig and Pueo, the Hawaiian Owl, that these often become their faithful companions and guardians.
Some of the Menehune Dolls have their own special coconut cradle or chair. The coconuts were selected from palm trees at Punalu`u Black Sands Beach. They are hand carved, sanded, polished, and fit to a custom base.
Other Menehunes love to play in the ocean.
The Kupunas are the older people who everyone honors with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors. They are a blessing being the ones we came from, who have lived before us and who we live for today.
The Menehunes love playing, dancing, singing, swimming, and, most of all, eating. If you hanai (adopt) them, love them, and take care of them, they will love you in return, guide, protect, and inspire you on your life's journey.
All dolls, animals, and accessories were individually handcrafted in the Menehune's habitat in the beautiful, secluded mountains of Ka'u on the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaiian Menehunes are unique art dolls for display rather than a child's toy.
Hawaiian Menehune Art Dolls are Guardian Angels and Spiritual Guides.
The Menehune's Mana is unconditional Aloha (love). They are devoted to guide, protect and inspire us on our life's journey.
Interweaving legends, traditions, sacred teachings, powerful chants and magical rituals, the dolls embody Hawaii's ancient magical spirit. Hawaiian Menehune Art Dolls inspire Aloha (love) and the lifestyle of Hawaiian Pono (righteousness), which unites body, mind and spirit in balance and harmony.
Magical Menehunes are dolls with a soul bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.
