If you are a pet owner, you are probably aware of the importance of vaccinations for your furry friend. Vaccines help prevent various diseases and can significantly improve the health and well-being of your pet. However, the cost of these vaccines can sometimes be a burden for pet owners, especially those on a tight budget. Fortunately, there are often opportunities to access free or low-cost vaccinations for pets. Many animal shelters, rescue organizations, and veterinary clinics offer vaccination clinics or programs specifically designed to make vaccines more accessible to pet owners in need. These initiatives are particularly important for low-income families or individuals who may not be able to afford regular veterinary care.
The History of Huna
Why was mental disease virtually unknown in Hawai’i prior to 1820?
Why is the land of Hawai’i even today one of the most blessed spots on Earth?
What is present in Hawai’i tradition that is missing in other places?
For a long time prior to 750 A.D., there flourished a system of personal development, healing, and spiritual discipline that was known by “everyone.” The system was a balanced system — one that honored men and women equally. There were almost no secrets; in fact, there were so few secrets that the information that comprised the techniques wasn’t even organized or formally taught. It just formed the background of “how it was” in the world.
There are only remnants of this system around the Earth, because starting in 325 A.D. (it may have started as early as several thousand years B.C., but the effects were definitely under way by 325 A.D.) a wave began to sweep around the planet in an attempt to destroy the balanced systems — the original teachings of the peoples of the Earth. The wave hit Hawaii sometime between 750 and 1250 A.D. At that time, the Kahuna Pa’ao, arrived in Hawaii, and found a very peace-loving people living in a paradise.
Several years later Pa’ao returned with a number of warriors and priests, and overturned the original system in Hawaii. When Pa’ao arrived, he installed his system, and the original teaching was changed. The old order was overturned, and the current order of Ku was installed.
The Huna that we teach predates the teaching of Pa’ao. So it is very ancient — from before 750 A.D. We believe that before 750 A.D. the balanced order that existed was a balanced system that could be called The Order of ‘Io. This is true all over the world. The balanced Male/Female system in western Europe was called Wicca, and like Huna it was attempted to wipe this teaching out. The Holy Inquisition conducted by “The Church,” for example, reduced the population of Spain by more than 50% in 200 years, killing hundreds of thousands of people. In India, too, a system called Tantra was attempted to be wiped out by the newer system called Vedanta. Although Tantra fared better than Wicca, both systems were subjected to much persecution. The situation was the same all over the world, from the Native Americans, to the Aboriginals of Australia, each of the peoples bearing the original teachings were (and, be sure, still are) subjected to an attempt to eradicate the culture, and the teachings. In Hawaii, fortunately. the original teachings were hidden in the chants of the Ancient Ones — when the original teachings were overturned they went underground. The original teachings were hidden inside of the chants and the Hulahula (Hula dances), and they have waited. They have waited, hidden, for a long, long time. The newer arrivals adopted chants and Hulahula which contained mysteries hidden to them but which were simply waiting for a rebirth of the original teachings.
The teachings were buried again (to a second level) in the ancient chants when the Missionaries arrived from Boston in 1820. Their arrival was not accidental, since the more modern Hawaiian system (order of Ku), called the Kapu system had been ended by King Kamehameha VI in 1819.
Once again the new priests brought their new gods, and the original teachings were buried even deeper. The Missionaries began to do away with the old “superstitious ways.” In 1820, they passed the first of the laws that were designed to eradicate the ancient teachings:
“Section 1034: Sorcery — Penalty, Any person who shall attempt the cure of another by the practice of sorcery, witchcraft, ananna (sic), hoopiopio, hoounauna, or hoomanamana, or other superstitious or deceitful methods, shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in a sum not less than one hundred dollars or be imprisoned not to exceed six months at hard labor.’ There is also another section of the law which classes the kahuna with bunco men and defines him as one posing as a kahuna, taking money under pretense of having magical power, or admitting he is a kahuna. For this the fine goes up to a thousand dollars and a year in prison.”
So, in a Pacific Island nation influenced by American Missionaries, the people were disallowed from practicing their original teachings until the federal government of the United States passed the Native American Religious Freedoms Act in 1979. Amazingly, in 1953 the Kahuna, Daddy Bray, was arrested for chanting a chant in the Hawaiian language at Hulihee Palace in downtown Kona — a chant quite similar to a chant we teach at our Huna seminars in Hawaii.
We believe the final law against the practice of the ancient ways was repealed in 1989. But it was predicted that this would happen. Today, the entire planet is experiencing a revival of the old teachings, where once again we will experience the return of the balanced systems of teaching.
Real Black Magick: Black magic practices in Hawaii
There is no accident in my decision to spend the past year living in Hawaii. If anyone asked me why I moved to Hawaii, I would simply answer, “..To swim in the ocean every day.” I do love to swim in the ocean, and have a great affinity for the water, but the reason for ocean swimming these days is more for spiritual cleansing than pure pleasure.
It was this time last year, I came to Oahu (A Hawaiian island In the Pacific Ocean), to spend two weeks by the beach, And recharge the batteries. I made a public announcement that I wasn’t spell casting all month. In a conversation to a fellow coven member, I remember telling her I felt a strong reason to stay on the island for a little longer. Hawaiian ancients had something to tell me, I could just sense it.
The energy of the Hawaiian islands feels like a wise Old Grandfather ,who is willing to tell you a story if you can sit long enough to listen. Like all powerful Gods and Goddesses, they can provide the wisdom and guidance…. if you ask for it….and then punish you severely should you require a life lesson.
From first glance, A left-hand path practitioner can overlook the depth and strength of this ancient energy, if he or she can’t see past the heavy tourism, and more modern spiritual practitioners. Even the white locals who have lived in Hawaii have a story, or know someone who has had an experience with the “ancient” energy or spirits of this land. For me, Hawaiian sorcery is another example of why we modern witches need to look a little closer at more tribal magic – the true use of the elements in their rawest form.
Though very little survived of ancient Hawai’ian sorcery, and there is almost no documented history regarding its actual practices thanks to the Christian missionaries wiping out almost all traces of old Hawai’ian religion, the people of the Pacific islands all share a common ancestry, and with it, common myths and religious practices. The gods and stories throughout Hawai’i, Samoa, Tahiti, and New Zealand are all the same gods, with minor differences and slight spelling changes dependent on location. Using this knowledge along with what is still available in recorded documentation of old Hawai’ian culture and history, it is possible to get an idea of what was going on in the way of sorcery in Hawai’i, and the Pacific islands in general.(1)
So allow me to share a little history of Hawaiian magic or sorcery.
These initiatives are particularly important for low-income families or individuals who may not be able to afford regular veterinary care. These free or low-cost vaccination programs typically provide core vaccines, which are essential for preventing common and potentially deadly diseases in pets. Core vaccines include those against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis in dogs, and rabies, panleukopenia, calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis in cats.
Powerful Goddess & Gods
Most all the Hawaiian Gods served a role in Hawaiian sorcery. Though not all of these gods were malevolent all of the time, they all did have some degree of malevolence that could be invoked by the knowledgeable sorcerer. There were also a number of other spirits, demons, sprits that they would employ to serve their desires.
One breakdown of the Hawaiian pantheon [2] consists of the following groups:
- the four gods (ka hā) – Kū, Kāne, Lono, Kanaloa
- the forty male gods or aspects of Kāne (ke kanahā)
- the four hundred gods and goddesses (ka lau)
- the great multitude of gods and goddesses (ke kini akua)
- the spirits (na ʻ unihipili)
- the guardians (na ʻ aumākua)
Another breakdown [2] consists of three major groups:
- the four gods, or akua: Kū, Kāne, Lono, Kanaloa
- many lesser gods, or kupua, each associated with certain professions
- guardian spirits, ʻ aumakua, associated with particular families
It is said King Kamehameha I, (the first chief to conquer all of the Hawaiian islands), employed the most powerful sorcerers to secure for himself all of the strongest gods worshiped by the ruling chiefs of the Hawaiian islands.
The list of Gods was many, but a few of these more power Gods include:
Kanaloa:
Christian missionaries equated him with the Devil and say he led a rebellion against the other gods, though this is debatable.
- Ruled the Pacific.
- Guardian of the underworld.
- Lives in “the hidden” and is from the “outer void.”
- He is the teacher of magic.
Milu:
- Ruler of the dead.
- God of the underworld.
- Former sorcerer/chief.
Lolupe:
- God invoked in rite of deification of the dead or restoration of life to the dead (necromancy).
- Consecrated the dead to become guardian spirits.
Uli:
- Female principle deity invoked to kill enemies
Alaeahina:
- Was a sorceress from the island of Maui who wrested the secrets of fire from the gods. Invoked to kill enemies.
These vaccines protect pets from serious illnesses that can be both costly and life-threatening. The availability of these programs may vary depending on your location, but it is worth doing some research to find out if there are any options near you. You can start by contacting your local animal shelter or rescue organization to inquire about vaccination clinics or subsidized vaccine programs they may offer. Additionally, some veterinary clinics may offer discounted or free vaccines during specific events, such as World Rabies Day or National Pet Wellness Month. It is important to note that while free or low-cost vaccines can help alleviate the financial burden of pet care, regular veterinary check-ups and care are still crucial for your pet's overall health. Vaccines should be administered by a licensed veterinarian who can assess your pet's specific needs and provide appropriate care tailored to their individual health status. In conclusion, free or low-cost vaccination programs for pets can be a valuable resource for pet owners who may be struggling financially. These initiatives ensure that pets receive the necessary vaccines to protect them from common diseases, improving their overall health and quality of life. If you are facing financial constraints, consider exploring these programs in your area to ensure your pet's well-being..
Reviews for "Securing Your Pet's Health: How Free Vaccinations Can Help"
1. John - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the "Vacunas para mascotas gratis" event. First of all, the event was advertised as free, but when I arrived, they charged me for every single shot my pet needed. Secondly, the organization was terrible. There were long lines of people and no clear direction on where to go or what to do. It was chaotic and unprofessional. Lastly, the staff seemed uninterested and unfriendly. They were rushing through the vaccinations without giving any proper attention to the pets. Overall, a complete waste of time and money.
2. Lisa - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Vacunas para mascotas gratis" event, but it fell short of my expectations. While the vaccines were indeed free, the organization was chaotic.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I attended the "Vacunas para mascotas gratis" event with the hope of getting my pet vaccinated without spending too much money. However, the experience was far from pleasant. The event was overcrowded, and it seemed like the staff was overwhelmed and unprepared for the number of people in attendance.

Moreover, the vaccines being provided were limited in variety, leaving some pet owners without the specific shots they needed. I appreciate the effort, but the execution needs significant improvement.
