The celestial roots of mana

Abstract

Mana has been a subject of scholarly interest ever since the first Europeans encountered Pacific peoples. There has been much academic writing exploring, defining, describing, and discussing mana. This paper addresses mana as personal experience that emanates from place and has epistemological value. In addition this paper approaches pre-contact Hawaiian cultural astronomy from the point of view of its cosmogonic, ontological, and metaphysical roots of mana.
