Library's review

In this compelling new book, you will find the answer to this question and learn: What is Huna and how was it started? What are the true spiritual practices of ancient Polynesians? How can
'Her book is timely and important.

Review by Two Bears The worst Huna book I have ever read.
This decendants and friends of Max Freedom Long (MFL) should file a lawsuit against this author for slander and libel.
I have two friends that were also friends of MFL. and from these friends, and the writings of MFL I do NOT get the notion that MFL was a liar.
1. Ms. Kaehr allegedly contacted the spirit of MFL by Ouija board then through automatic writing.
This is research for a book?.
2. Ms. Kaehr said that MFL contacted her because he was guilty about the lies he told.
MFL was a sincere dedicated researcher, and spent the last 52 years of his life trying to reclaim the secrets of the kahunas.
3. Ms. Kaehr states categoricaly that William Tufts Brigham and MFL could never have met.
MFL went to the islands in 1917, and began hearing stories of kahunas almost immediately, and Dr. Brigham did not retire from his position as curator of the Bishop museum in 1918.
4. Ms. Kaehr said that HUNA is a form of Wicca.
MFL began his research of HUNA in 1918 and ended at his death in 1971. Wicca did not exist before Gerald B. Gardner went public in 1949 after the witchcraft laws were overturned.
Any one of those four examples is enough to leave the book sit on the shelf.
Now let me explain why MFL made errors in his research.
MFL had several things working against him, and in a few places he added 2 and 2 and came up with 6.
a. MFL was a ha'ole and the Hawaiians would not talk to him for fear of persecution.
b. It was illegal for American Indians and Hawaiians to practise their spirituality before the freedom of religion act in 1978.
c. MFL was convinced there had to be a direct line of teachers, and he completely overlooked the mystical (people going into the silence and discovering matters of the soul). The Hawaiians, the Druids, the Lakota indians, the Jewish kabbalaists, and the mongolian shamans, and others all knew of three parts of the soul even though they give the parts different names.
d. MFL took prayers and chants apart to discover the meanings of the root words. well that hawaiian/english dictionary was 70 years old, and hopelessly out of date.
If you want a list of good HUNA books; go see my HUNA 1 listmania list, read my 'So you'ld like to study HUNA and change your life', and read my HUNA 101 web page. http://...
