Digital E-Booklet: The Sacred Feminine in the Kumulipo

The Sacred Feminine in the Kumulipo: Maoli Roots, Modern Embodiment, and the Wā Map 

This e-booklet is downloadable as a PDF or ePub document. 

Written by Dr. Michelle Manu, this eBooklet explores the concept of the Sacred Feminine as encoded in the Hawaiian creation chant, the Kumulipo. It offers an in-depth interpretation of the wā (phases) of the Kumulipo, emphasizing the Sacred Feminine’s role as a generative, protective, and prophetic force that guides intuition, leadership, and lineage. The writing bridges ancient Hawaiian cosmology with modern embodiment practices for women, particularly those reclaiming sovereignty and leadership roles in traditionally male-dominated spaces.

There is an accompaniment writing for the Sacred Masculine.
