(These are the notes from my first Huna Class.)
Origins of Huna
Early in the
20th century, Max Freedom Long became fascinated by stories
of Miracles being performed by the native Kahunas.
Especially fascinating was Fire-walking, where the natives would walk across
burning lava without harm. He also was intrigued by other stories of the Kahuna -
miraculous healing, seeing the future (and changing the future!), and
even a "Death Prayer".
This started his investigation into how they did these things.
After several years of study, he stumbled upon a way to discover the how and why of these miracles.
He traced it back to the language.
Using his work with the language, and the work of Dr. Brigham, who studied the Kahuna for 40 years prior to meeting Max Freedom Long, he developed the Huna system.

In the 80s, another
important milestone in Huna work happened. This is when Serge Kahlil King
started to produce his works on Huna. He move more toward Huna as a type of
Shamanism, and incorporated extensive visualization work, as well as Shamanic
concepts and practices to the System, including the four worlds, and the seven
principles.
And
finally, about 6 or 7 years ago, a student of his, Pohaku, did
a marvelous pod-cast exploring this work, and bringing the ideas to a whole new
audience. Where did the Kahuna come from?
Max Freedom
Long traced Huna ideas back to Egypt around 5000-6000 years ago.
He also found Huna concepts and root words in ancient Greek. (He
postulates that they may have originated in Atlantis, but take that
as you may.) He found that Hawaiians came to the islands around 2000
years ago, or about the time of Christ, who he also felt was initiated
into The Secret Science. As a matter of fact, he found a great many references
to Huna teachings in the Gospels.
There was a modern
genetics study done, which indicates that they actually did arrive in Hawaii
around 2200 years ago. “… Polynesians left S.E. Asia 11,500 years ago and
departed from the Taiwan area 6000 years ago. They spent 3,800 years in
Alaska/Canada before travelling South West to Hawai'i 2,200 years ago…”
So, in essence,
there was a great system of belief that was remarkable for its use or totems,
and taboo magic. It was codified by the original Kahunas and
recorded in a pre-polynesian language so that it
would not be lost. We know it influenced Egypt, the middle east, and possibly
many other cultures and their religions.
