In 1092 Waimea Valley was given to the high priests or the Kahuna Nui. It eventually became the home of one of the most distinguished priesthoods in the islands, the Pa'ao. Kamehameha the Great's exclusive Kahuna, Hewahewa, was a descendant of the Pa'ao. The Kahuna Nui were essential to Hawaiian society because they were the experts in various fields like farming, healing, spiritual guidance, fishing, and teaching both the Ali’i and the common people. Over the course of time, Waimea became known as “the valley of the priests”.

Throughout the Islands there is also a spiritual practice where spiritual healers, Kahuna and Shaman use traditional Lomi-Lomi to exorcise spirits (Aiku/Aitu) from possessed individuals. Traditionally in ancient Hawaii lomilomi was practiced in four contexts: # As a healing practice of native healers -- kahuna lāau lapaau (healers) and kahuna hāhā (diagnosticians) # As a luxury and an aid to digestion, especially by the ruling chiefs (alii) # As restorative massage within the family # By ōlohe lua (masters of the Hawaiian martial arts) Although the term kahuna lomilomi is widely used in contemporary writings, traditionally the people who performed lomilomi were called ka poe lomilomi (the massage people) or kanaka lomi (massage person). A related term, kauka lomilomi, was coined in 1920 to describe osteopathic physicians. The word kauka is the Hawaiianized version of doctor.

The use of the term in reference to surfing can be traced back to the 1959 film Gidget, in which "The Big Kahuna", played by Cliff Robertson (Martin Milner in the TV episode), was the leader of a group of surfers. The term then became commonplace in Beach Party films of the 1960s such as Beach Blanket Bingo, where the "Big Kahuna" was the best surfer on the beach. Eventually, it was adopted into general surfing culture. Hawaiian surfing master Duke Kahanamoku may have been referred to as the "Big Kahuna" but rejected the term as he knew the original meaning.

Craft kahuna were never prohibited; however, during the decline of native Hawaiian culture many died and did not pass on their wisdom to new students. As an example, when the Hōkūle'a was built to be sailed to the South Pacific to prove the voyaging capabilities of the ancient Hawaiians, master navigator Mau Piailug from Satawal was brought to Hawaii to teach the Hawaiians navigation. It is often said that the missionaries came to Hawaii in 1820 and made kahuna practices illegal. In the 100 years after the missionaries arrived all kahuna practices were legal until 1831, some were illegal until 1863, all were legal until 1887, then some were illegal until 1919.

"In keeping kahuna principles alive, his contribution has been inestimable." Despite the fact that Daddy was a recognized Kahuna, Max Freedom Long the inventor of Huna, would have nothing to do with him. When Long first spoke of Daddy in his newsletter, he admitted that Daddy told him “how much he disagreed with my conclusions.” But Long wrote, “I am not at all sure that he has ever read any of my books, but feel that if he has, he fails to understand my reasons for arriving at certain conclusions.” Years later, Long denigrated him in one of his Bulletins: > Mr. Bray once visited me, and I tried to compare notes with him on our two > versions of Huna, but we soon gave up the discussion because the versions > were too far apart to be brought within speaking distance. Mr. Bray would > have none of the three selves or three manas or three shadowy bodies.

Hutchison was given at one month old to be raised by his mother's sister who was a kahuna known for herbal cures. He wrote, in later life, that he may have contracted leprosy from a man "with large ears and bloated face, swollen hands and feet", who his aunt had treated. Another possible source was a vaccination using the lymph fluid from the arm of another boy. From an early age, Hutchison was sent to boarding school in Honolulu under the auspices of the Anglican Archdeacon George Mason.

Pilikaʻaiea was called a 'grandchild' of Lanakawai of the Ulu line, but he was born and brought up in "Kahiki" (Tahiti). The parents of Pilikaʻaiea were Laʻau and Kukamolimaulialoha, whilst the wife of Pilikaʻaiea was his sister, Hina-au-kekele. Because the chiefs of (the island of) Hawaiʻi had carelessly intermarried with junior chiefly lines, kahuna Paʻao went to Kahiki to find a relative of pure blood who could compete in rank with the chiefly lines of the other islands. He recites a chant to invite Lonokaeho to return with him.

At the sound of the Big Kahuna's Cockatoo, hopeful listeners would call in for chance to win the car. Contestants were given a tiki charm with a numbered tag that would be used to draw the winner. Several radio spots were created with fake auto body "grinding noise" in the background, to simulate being in Cushenbery's shop, while the Big Kahuna in his trademark Hawaiian pidgin english (Mahalo Nui Loa Cushenbery), requested features to be added to the car. These may be the only known audio recordings of Bill Cushenbery's voice.

Max Freedom Long wrote that he obtained many of his case studies and his ideas about what to look for in kahuna magic from the Director of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, William Brigham. There is no credible evidence that the two men met. Even if they did, Brigham was not an expert on kahunas and did not document in his own writings any of the incidents Long ascribed to him, including walking on hot lava. In his letters and manuscripts, Brigham stated that Hawaiians were "an inferior race", and implied they were lazy.

Kamehameha I took control of western and northern Hawaii island (the Kona and Kohala districts) in 1782, but for the eight years following, fought in a number of inconclusive battles. After returning from Maui in 1790, he was attacked by his cousin Keōua Kuahuula who still controlled the East side of the island. He returned to the village of Kawaihae, where he had spent some time earlier. A respected kahuna (priest) named Kapoukahi suggested building a luakini heiau (sacrificial temple) to gain the favor of the war god Kūkailimoku.

Women ate pork and bananas, people had sexual intercourse with whomever they pleased, routine life was completely overthrown. When a new high chief came to power, he usually re-imposed the kapu. Liholiho did attempt to reestablish the kapu, but he was opposed by his mother, Keōpūolani, the other wives of Kamehameha (including Kaahumanu, the powerful Maui chiefess), and Hewahewa, the Kahuna-nui of the kingdom.

Akahi gave her son the gifts of the royal malo and lei niho palaoa which were given to her by his true father, that only the high chiefs wore, and sent Umi to Waipio to present himself to the king as his son. Liloa's palace was well guarded and attended by several Kahuna. The entire enclosure was sacred and a penalty of death stood for breaching its walls.

King Kalākaua in 1882 Rosenberg was granted a room in the palace to use for fortune telling, which the king made sure was stocked with alcohol, as they enjoyed drinking together. In late January, the king appointed Rosenberg as a customs appraiser in Honolulu, although the appointment was controversial; by mid-February he was fired by the head of customs. One month later, Rosenberg was reappointed by order of the king and the following month the head of customs resigned.

In Spanish, there is a blessing which can be used as a tender farewell, especially from a parent: Vaya con Dios ("Go with God"), also Adiós (A Dios, "to God"), similar to the French Adieu. Blessing is also a term used for marriage in the Unification Church, see: Blessing Ceremony of the Unification Church.

His initials spell "COW" and he is often teased because of this. He holds his position as "King of the Castle" (a self-proclaimed "Big Kahuna") very seriously; however, he is easy to admit defeat to Harriette when involved in typical marital disputes. Carl is constantly annoyed, irritated and always being bothered by his pesky neighbor, Steve Urkel, who has a great respect for Carl and affectionately calls him "Big Guy". Although Steve is relentlessly annoying and has cost the Winslow family large amounts of time and money from his own clumsy demeanor, he has shown he's more mature than Eddie is in accepting responsibility.

Rosenberg received royal appointments to several positions: kahuna-kilokilo (royal soothsayer), customs appraiser, and guard. He was given lavish gifts by the king, but was mistrusted by other royal advisers and satirized in the Hawaiian press. Rosenberg and Kalākaua often held long conversations and enjoyed drinking alcohol together; Rosenberg told the king Bible stories and encouraged him to revive traditional Hawaiian religion, an idea that fascinated Kalākaua but angered his political rivals. In June 1887, Rosenberg returned to California, possibly owing to poor health or fear of unrest in Hawaii; a short time after arriving in San Francisco, he died in a local hospital.

Early site surveys noted possible kauhale (houses) adjacent to the heiau that were likely the residences of na kahuna (religious specialists). Another important cultural feature is Ala Kahakai (trail by the sea) that served as an important link between ritual centers and coastal communities. The ala kahakai was thought to be the original route taken by the God Lono from North Kohala to the southernmost tip of the island and then windward along the Kau coast to Puna. This trail once paved with the na iliili hanau was designated as a National Historic Trail in 2000 and remnants can be found at both Punaluu Nui and Kaiei.e. heiau.

Some large fish were also kapu for women to eat. Isabella Abbott, a leading ethnobotanist of Hawaii, theorizes that because of the limited "noa" (free) diet for Hawaiian women, seaweeds were relied upon more heavily for Hawaiians than other Pacific islands. The kapu system was used in Hawaii until 1819, when King Kamehameha II, acting with his mother Queen Keōpūolani, his father's other queen Kaʻahumanu, and Kahuna-nui Hewahewa, abolished it by the symbolic act of sharing a meal of forbidden foods with the women of his court. Abolishing the ʻai kapu assured political power to the line of Kamehameha rulers as monarchs because it limited the power of the rulers below them.

Through this union Keawepoepoe received the kapu o pahenakalani (the prostrating kapu) which is how the Hawaii aliʻi received the kapu (a religious code of conduct) called the kapu moe.

Like in Southeast Asia, they are widely believed to protect against evil spirits and bad luck; as well as having the ability to host spirits of dead people, as well as nature spirits. In ancient Hawaii the plant was thought to have great spiritual power; only kahuna (shamans) and alii (chiefs) were able to wear leaves around their necks during certain ritual activities.

By about 1000, settlements founded along the perimeters of the islands were beginning to cultivate their own foods in gardens, and by 1500, they would begin to spread inward to the interiors of the islands and religion began to be more emphasised. A Tahitian priest named Pā‘ao is said to have brought a new order to the islands around 1200. The new order included new laws and a new social structure for the islands separating the people into classes. The ali‘i nui was the king, with his ‘aha kuhina just below them. The ali‘i were the royal nobles with the kahuna (high priest) below them, the maka‘āinana (commoners) next with the kauā below them as the lowest ranking social caste.

Velma also reveals that Snookie's an expert in both rocket science and robotics, and was the one who created the so-called "demons."

The literal interpretation of Kapaemahu is “a row of mahu:” Ka is the definite singular article; pae is a row, cluster or group; and mahu is a third gender category referring to individuals with a mixture of male and female attributesPukui, Mary Kawena, Samuel H Elbert and Esther T Mookini. 1974. Place Names of Hawaii. University of Hawai'i Press. A possible secondary translation is “the landing of mahu,” interpreting pae as to land, disembark or come ashore. The original name used for the stones of Kapaemahu was “Wizard Stones.” While this term seems disrespectful by current standards, concurrent Hawaiian language newspaper descriptions used the more appropriate description “kahuna,”which encompasses priests and experts in any area including healing“Ka Buke Almanaka a Thrum.” Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, 1907, Jan 4, p. 1. The name "Nā Pōhaku Ola O Kapaemahu A Me Kapuni" translates as “The Stones of Life of Kapaemahu and Kapuni.

According to the oral tradition of genealogy of the kahuna (priest) at Moʻokini Heiau, located in the northwestern corner of the Island of Hawaii, this heiau was established by Kuamoʻo Moʻokini in the year 480.Allan Seiden, in Cooperation with Momi Mo'okini Lum, "Mookini Luakini Heiau, A Living Part of Hawai'i's Spiritual Heritage" (Honolulu: Legacy Archive Press, 2014), Ch. 2Mookini Heiau "Kuamo'o" in Hawaiian means "spine" or "road", "Mo'o" "genealogy", and "Kini" "many"; therefore "Mo'okini" may mean "Long genealogy".Pukui & Elbert, New Pocket Hawaiian Dictionary, (University of Hawai'i Press, 1975/92) He was not from the Marquesas Islands, like many others who immigrated to Hawaii at that time, but is said to be from the Persian Gulf of Middle East.Leimomi Mo'okini Lum, The Legend of Kuamo'o Mo'okini and Hamumu, the Great Whale (Bishop Museum Press、2004) Later the people from the Society Islands (such as Tahiti) migrated to Hawaii.

This heiau is a living spiritual temple and not just an historic artifact of the Hawaiian culture. Oral histories indicate the original temple on the site may be 1500 years old: the genealogy chant of the heiau's kahuna tells of Kuamo'o Mo'okini arriving here in 480, not from Samoa or Tahiti, but from the Persian Gulf of Middle East.Allan Seiden, in Cooperation with Momi Mo'okini Lum, "Mookini Luakini Heiau, A Living Part of Hawai'i's Spiritual Heritage" (Honolulu: Legacy Archive Press, 2014), Chapter 2Leimomi Mo'okini Lum, "The Legend of Kuamo'o Mo'okini and Hamumu, the Great Whale" (Honolulu: Bishop Museum Press, 2004) Evidence suggests the current temple was built on the site of this smaller older one by Paao, who brought the Hawaiian Religion to the islands sometime between 1100 and 1300 A.D. The current site includes the remains of the heiau measuring 250' x 130' with an open stone paved court enclosed by 20'-high stone walls, and the sacrificial stone. The heiau is constructed of stones that are said to have been passed from hand to hand from the Pololū Valley, over away.

One of the most contentious aspects of the New Age has been its adoption of spiritual ideas and practises from other, particularly non-Western cultures. Its belief that all traditions are free for anyone to use, rather than the private property of particular communities, has resulted in New Agers adopting and marketing the practices of other societies. These have supposedly included "Hawaiian Kahuna magic, Australian Aboriginal dream-working, South American Amerindian ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremony, Hindu Ayurveda and yoga, and Chinese Feng Shui, Qi Gong, and Tai Chi", an amorphous claim that elides the vast ideological and cultural differences that distinguish these practices, thereby reproducing the ethnocentrism and Orientalism that it purportedly seeks to criticize. Far from arising in a vacuum, many of these cultural traditions, such as Ayurveda, yoga and qigong, developed and flourished amid cross-cultural diffusion and exchange; for instance, the Yijin Jing, a repertoire of qigong exercises that exerted a salient influence on the subsequent Shaolin branch of martial arts, is traditionally believed to have originated from Bodhidharma, an Indian monk who is venerated as the first Chinese patriarch of Chan Buddhism.
