Story:
Hiku was a Hawaiian hero/demigod who traveled to the land of the dead to bring back his wife, Kawela. Hiku canoed to the edge of the sea, where he was lowered into an abyss on a vine-rope. The eyes of curious spirits watched as his wife’s spirit joined him for a delightful swing. When Hiku signaled his friends to pull the vine-rope back up, his wife attempted to escape by transforming into a butterfly, but Hiku quickly captured her and carried her to the surface. When the butterfly united with the corpse, spirit and body merged, and Kawela returned to consciousness. The edge of the ocean surface represents restrictive thinking. The lowering into the abyss parallels creative thought processes that are exploring deeper waters of the unconscious.
Divinatory meaning:
