FOUR FRAGRANT MAILE SISTERS
Original Watercolor & Pastel 22" x 30" by Joanna Carolan
Framed in Koa
Item KM_35.....$2,800.00

Where there was matchmaking or romance in Hawaiian mythology, look for at least one of the four sweet-scented Maile Sisters to be involved. While ancient Romans had the god Cupid to keep things interesting in matters of the heart, ancient Hawaiians had four cupid-like goddesses.

Maile (Alyxia myrtillifolia) is a twining vine-like shrub, native to Hawaii. It has shiny fragrant leaves. Maile is used for decorations and leis, especially for important occasions. It is associated with worship of the gods and is one of the five standard plants used to worship Laka, the goddess of hula. In addition to their involvement in romances, the Maile Sisters were also considered minor gods of the hula.

Wherever maile is found in the mountains and forests of the Hawaiian Islands, is believed to be where the sisters wandered. The sisters names are those given to the four varieties of maile based on leaf size and shape. Maile-lau-nui has narrow pointed leaves and means, literally, “small leaf maile”. Maile-ha’i-wale, has small rounded leaves, and means “brittle maile”. Maile-lau-nui has large leaves and means “big-leafed maile”. Maile-pa-kaha has blunt rounded leaves and is thought to mean “proud maile”.

It is said that the subtle pervasive scent of maile precedes the arrival of any of the sisters, and lingers long after they had gone.
