From ancient Hawaii up to this day the leaves of the Hawaiian Ti plant have been used for spiritual protection,The Divine Powers of Hawaiian Ti Leaves Articles purification and healing. Ti Leaves are sacred to Lono, the Hawaiian god of fertility and Laka, the goddess of Hula.

In ancient Hawaii Ti Leaves symbolized high rank and divine powers. Only the Ali’i (royalty) and Kahunas (high priests) were allowed to wear Ti leaves during their ceremonial rituals to ward off evil spirits and invoke the blessings of the gods.

In Hawaii Ti Leaves were and are still also used for many practical purposes, like wrapping food, making hula skirts and weaving leis.

Many people in Hawaii, me included, plant a Ti leaf plant on each corner of their house for protection, purification, blessings, and good luck.

Ti Leaves have a very special, intense mana (spiritual energy). I frequently pick 4 of the beautiful, shiny green leaves. The number four was considered sacred by ancient Hawaiians. Sometimes I surround myself with 4 Ti Leaves during meditation. This always creates a feeling of resting within a sacred circle of divine light. At other times, I put them under certain objects or pictures to invoke protection, purification, blessing or healing.

Carrying a piece of a Ti Leaf on your body at all times is believed to provide protection from negative energies. Wearing a Ti Leaf lei brings good luck.

Bless your house with the powerful mana (spiritual energy) of Ti Leaves! They make beautiful decorations radiating a special feeling of safety and protection.

The sacredness of the Hawaiian Ti Leaves inspired the creation of Holokai, a Magical Hawaiian Menehune.

Here is part of Holokai’s story:

 

Holokai (Sailor) is a little Menehune Keiki Kane (boy). Sailing his Wa’akaukahi (Canoe) in the gentle breeze of Punalu’u BlackSandsBeach is Holokai’s greatest pleasure. Out on the ocean, his spirit connects with the peace and serenity of the Hawaiian waters. Holokai sails to the rhythm of the ocean where he always reaches a place of deep inner stillness. In silence he communicates with nature honoring the divinity in all living things. Immerse yourself in Holokai’s mana (spiritual energy) of stillness and learn to live every moment of life joyously and to the fullest.

Holokai’s Tutu (grandmother) made the Ti Leaf Lei he wears around his neck and tied 4 more Ti leaves to the sail of his canoe. It was Tutu’s sacred gift of Aloha (Love) to her grandson. According to ancient Hawaiian beliefs, Ti leaves provide protection from all harm. Surrounded by Ti leaves, Holokai feels save and secure...
