Huna (New Age)
Huna is a Hawaiian word adopted by Max Freedom Long (1890–1971) in 1936 to describe his theory of metaphysics. Long cited what he believed to be the spiritual practices of ancient Hawaiian kahunas (priests) as inspiration, however, the system is his invention, with roots in New Thought and Theosophy, rather than in traditional Hawaiian beliefs. Huna is part of the New Age movement.
==History==
Long, who was not Hawaiian, went to Hawaii in 1917 to work as an elementary school teacher. He became interested in the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient kahunas and modern practitioners of traditional, indigenous Hawaiian religion, but none of the ceremonial people talked to him so he was unable to penetrate to the inner workings of this religion. He left Hawaii in 1931, convinced that he would never learn these secrets. In 1934, he woke with a revelation that the secrets were encoded into the Hawaiian language itself. He called the religious system he developed from this revelation 'Huna' (the Hawaiian word for secret), and wrote his first book in 1936 to chronicle his beliefs. There are no accepted Hawaiian sources that refer to the word 'Huna' as a tradition of esoteric learning.〔Malo, David. ''Hawaiian Antiquities'' (Bishop Museum, 1951)〕〔Kamakua, Samuel. ''The People of Old'' (Bishop Museum, 1991)〕〔'I'i, John Papa. ''Fragments of Hawaiian History'' (Bishop Museum, 1959)〕〔Beckwith, Martha. ''Kepelino's Traditions of Hawaii'' (Bishop Museum, 1932)〕
In 1945 Long founded Huna Research. In 1953, he published ''The Secret Science at Work'' as a Huna textbook, and in 1965 ''The Huna Codes in Religions'', examining parallels between his invented system and religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity.〔
