Description
Haumea is a remarkable diety of Hawaiʻi. She takes many forms because she was reincarnated many times. Therefore, she has many names:
Papa, who was the wife of Wākea, they two were the progenitors of the Hawaiian islands and the kalo plant;
Kuʻaimehani, who was the wife of Kauakahi, her child;
Hulihonua, who was the wife of Kahulihonua, her grandchild;
Hinamanoʻuluaʻe, who was the wife of Hāloa, her grandchild;
Huhune, who was the wife of waia, her grandchild;
Haunuʻu, who was the wife of Hinanalo, her grandchild;
Haulani, who was the wife of Nanakahili, her grandchild;
Hikopuaneiea, who was the wife of Wailoa, her grandchild.
Thus did Haumea sleep with her own children and grandchildren from one generation to the next. Therefore, numerous are her lovers, children, and grandchildren, including the Pele clan. Due to Haumea’s profound knowledge of childbirth, she is a goddess of that practice as well as that of the feminine. She is also associated with the earth as well as the ‘ulu tree.
