  • A Jungian Journey Through Hawaiian Myth., 173-176
    Reviews 173 Rita Knipe, The Water of Life: A Jungian Journey through Hawaiian Myth. Illustrated by Dietrich Varez. Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1989. Pp. 176. US$22.50 hardcover. Reviewed by Renate von Gizycki, Institut fur VOlkerkunde, Gottingen University, Germany Scholars of Polynesian oral literature are familiar with a great variety of approaches and methods for dealing with mythology. Chants and stories have been collected, translated, compared as folklore, and inter­ preted in the context of linguistic, religious, or historical studies. Rita Knipe came to Hawaii as a professional psychologist, and also with a deep yearning for an island that to her was something like a "mythical land." It became a "love affair," and she felt as though she had "known this place outside my personal life history" as an "almost remembered place of origin" (p. 2). It is against this background (fittingly described in her first chapter as "Drumbeat, Heartbeat") that we must view her involvement with the study of Hawaiian mythology. Her exploration of the deities and heroes of ancient Hawaii led her "beyond the myths," and her fascination with "the brown and golden Hawaiian people, who are changing now as they strive to reconnect with their own vanquished heritage" became a "personal odyssey" to uncover "her roots as a woman." Using the trea- 174 Pacific Studies, Vol. 14, No.4-December 1991 sure of edited and translated material of well-known scholars like Emerson, "The Water of Kane," symbolizing "The Water of Life" (chapter 2), became the central topic of her explorations and the title of her book.

As the Jan. 12 anniversary of the quake came and went, the “build back” slogan has faded from most discussions, but the work of rebuilding—in reality, building—a country has moved ahead even if progress has been slow and difficult to measure.

II Wydanie specjalne WATYKAN CZTERECH PAPIEŻY 13. marca, podczas drugiego dnia konklawe, zwołanego w związku z rezygnacją papieża Benedykta XVI, w piątym głosowaniu został wybrany argentyński kardynał Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Tradycyjny biały dym, obwieszczający światu wybór głowy Kościoła, pojawił się o godz. 1906. Franciszek na początku inauguracyjnego wystąpienia odmówił Modlitwę Pańską za swojego poprzednika, Benedykta XVI. Następnie poprosił wiernych o odmówienie modlitwy za swój pontyfikat, po czym udzielił pierwszego błogosławieństwa Urbi et Orbi. Wezwał też do modlitwy o ogólnoświatowe braterstwo. 23. marca, papież senior Benedykt XVI spotkał się w Castel Gandolfo z urzędującym papieżem. 2. maja 2013 r. emerytowany papież, po pobycie w Castel Gandolfo, powrócił do Watykanu. Zamieszkał tu w klasztorze Mater Ecclesiae. Papieża seniora przywitał jego następca, Franciszek oraz delegacja Watykanu z sekretarzem stanu kardynałem Bertone i dziekanem Kolegium Kardynalskiego kardynałem Sodano. 1 5. lipca 2013 r., Benedykt XVI po raz pierwszy od momentu abdykacji wziął udział razem z Franciszkiem w ceremonii zorganizowanej na terenie Watykanu. Jak podały media – podczas uroczystości odsłonięcia pomnika Michała Archanioła przed budynkiem gubernatorstwa Państwa Watykańskiego, obaj papieże siedzieli obok siebie.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Legend of Laieikawai by Dietrich Varez the Legend of Laieikawai by Dietrich Varez
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Legend of Laieikawai by Dietrich Varez The Legend of Laieikawai by Dietrich Varez. Introduction to L a ‘ieikawai. Martha Warren Beckwith, Translator. L a ‘ieikawai is a Hawaiian romance which recounts the wooing of a native chiefess of high rank and her final deification among the gods. The story was handed down orally from ancient times in the form of a ka‘ao, a narrative rehearsed in prose interspersed with song, in which form old tales are still recited by Hawaiian storytellers. It was put into writing by a native Hawaiian, S.N. Hale‘ole, who hoped thus to awaken in his countrymen an interest in genuine native storytelling based upon the folklore of their race and preserving its ancient customs – already fast disappearing since Cook’s rediscovery of the group in 1778 opened the way to foreign influence – and by this means to inspire in them old ideals of racial glory. Hale‘ole was born about the time of the death of Kamehameha I, a year or two before the arrival of the first American missionaries and the establishment of the Protestant mission in Hawai‘i. In 1834 he entered the mission school at L a hainaluna, Maui, where his interest in the ancient history of his people was stimulated and trained under the teaching of Lorrin Andrews, compiler of the Hawaiian dictionary, published in 1865, and Sheldon Dibble, under whose direction David Malo prepared his collection of “Hawaiian Antiquities,” and whose “History of the Sandwich Islands” (1843) is an authentic source for the early history of the mission.

  • Vestments Are More Than Just Clothes for the Pope Sunday, April 13, 2008 by DAVID GIBSON
    Vestments are more than just clothes for the pope Sunday, April 13, 2008 BY DAVID GIBSON During Pope Benedict XVI's visit this week, the first since his election three years ago, Catholics will listen intently to what he says, and how he says it, all in hopes of figuring out if Joseph Ratzinger has indeed become a kindly German shepherd or whether he remains God's Rottweiler, one of the many monikers he earned during a long tenure as the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog. Yet as important as Benedict's words will be in introducing the pope to an American audience that knows little about him, it may be just as important to check out what he's wearing. No, not the red Prada shoes that set tongues wag ging early on in his pontificate. (Besides, the designer kicks were apparently knockoffs by the papal cobbler.) Of greater import than Benedict's shoes or his sunglasses (rumored to be Serengetis by Bushnell) will be his choice of liturgical vestments and other papal accouterments, choices that speak volumes not only about his personal tastes but also about his vision of the church's future and its past. With increasing regularity, Benedict has been reintroducing elaborate lace garments and monarchical regalia that have not been seen around Rome in decades, even centuries. He has presided at mass using the wide cope (a cape so ample it is held up by two attendants) and high mitre of Pius IX, a 19th-century pope known for his dim views of the modern world, and on Ash Wednesday he wore a chasuble modeled on one worn by Paul V, a Borghese pope of the 17th century remembered for censuring Galileo.
