Mana Cards

Beautifully illustrated, these cards take the reader on a journey through Hawaiian symbols, images, and wisdom to a place where anyone, anywhere, on any path, may find rejuvenation and new perspective. These cards inter-weave Hawaiian images with interpretations designed to expand consciousness and can be used by individuals, couples, and groups to improve communication and foster healthy ways of being and relating. These cards honor the culture and spirit of aloha that gently comes from Hawai'i Nei to cast its net of love like a lei around the world. The set includes a 194-page book with stories, detailed cultural information, and expanded interpretations.
