10-10 Ceremony for Mother of the Kingdom, Cecilia Lillian Ku`ulei Silva

.
[Update: This was posted overlooking the mist at Pu’u Pua’i, at Kīlauea.]

This post is to celebrate the passing, and the life of, the mother of Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr. She transitioned a few days ago, after a long and difficult illness. The services for her passing were held today.

Hopefully many will be drawn to send their love, Light, and Aloha to her and her Ohana (family).

I arrived at Kīlauea at 3:33 PM. A lehua blossom, a white and purple flower, a three-berry cluster, and a piece of kale were selected for the ceremony. A rainbow had formed just as I arrived at the edge of Kīlauea. These were prepared with a lei of water around the grouping. A small ash was placed at the edge and washed over the edge with the remaining water.

I felt a surge of Light from Kīlauea as I finished.

Lehua red, and the purple flower, connected with the royalty (Ali`i) of the Kingdom. Three berry cluster connected with the Holy Trinity. Leaf of kale represented the nourishment for all from the Essence of the Kingdom.

The lei of water encircled and protects all those working to re-energize the Kingdom of Hawai’i.

The ash connects to all the old ways, and those trying to keep them going, being washed away.

Aloha nui loa to Cecilia Lillian Ku`ulei Silva, Mother of the Kingdom, which is, thanks to her, now present with us all.
