Honu Meaning: The Honu is the Hawaiian symbol of longevity, peace, humility, fertility and the spirit within. The honu is considered a symbol of the island (the word for land is 'Aina honua). They have a saying "land is like a turtle, as it moves on", meaning that it passes slowly but inexorably from owner to heir. The honu are featured in Hawaiian mythology, petroglyphs and as 'aumakua (personal family gods). An 'aumakua could manifest itself in varying forms such as a shark, a sea turtle, a hawk, a lizard, a pueo (owl) or any other animal, plant or mineral. Members of the family were said to recognize their 'aumakua, no matter what form it chose, whether it be an insect on land or a crab in the ocean the following day. The ancestral god might appear in a dream to furnish guidance or spiritual strength in difficult times. When a fisherman or craftsman was especially successful, credit was often given to his 'aumakua for intervening with the principal gods to impart the Mana (Spiritual Power) that enabled an earthly being to develop such skill. Many a canoe paddler has told of being lost or in danger between the islands, only to be guided by his Honu 'aumakua to a safe landing. The turtle is a revered symbol thoughout Polynesia, depicting the wisdom that comes with age and the wanderer or traveller. It is said to represent a very wise person wtih a love for the sea and a passion for travelling and exploring the wonders of the world. It is also like the Albatross in that its skill in navigating the wide ocean is legendary. About Plumeria Flowers and Symbolism: Plumeria tropical flowers are the most common here in Hawai`i. Also known as Frangipani (Plumeria rubra) or the Hawaiian Lei flower, they blossom from a tropical flowering tree nearly year round. Extraordinary in beautiful and scent, Plumeria flowers thrive in tropical climates and are highly abundant in Hawai`i. Plumeria are valued as landscape plants, ornamentals, and for their flowers. The flowers come in seemingly endless varieties of color, size and fragrance. Flowers can be strung together to make a lei which is presented to friends and guests of either gender and worn around the neck or a single flowers can be worn over a female's ear. Plumeria is related to the Oleander, and both possess a poisonous, milky sap. Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply fake their pollinators. The flowers come in gorgeous rose-pink color brushed with bronze and many other combinations of color patterns. Frangipani flowers have a wonderful tropical essence. The Frangipani flower commonly has five propeller-shaped petals with a delicate yellow center melting into the creamy white outer petals. These beautiful flowers have a rich and deep symbolism in many ancient cultures making it a wonderful choice for a very symbolic and meaningful pendant. The Hawaiians have always had a close relationship with nature and the beauty of the islands. They have always especially appreciated the ocean and the many tropical flowers inhabiting the islands. To Hawai`i, the Plumeria flower is a symbol of Spring and therefore is associated with birth and life. Plumerias are certainly symbols of Aloha. This explains why their images can be found in the logos and advertising of even the most unlikely businesses. And the fragrance? Mmmm….. If you’ve ever smelled them you would know what this means. Combining these characteristics along with symbolism of life and the arrival of Spring creates a magical formula that is essence and ambiance of Hawai`i and the Aloha Spirit.
