It was an intimate group that evening and we were fortunate to have been allowed to visit the grounds of a very special location. One person in our group was an enthusiastic visitor from Finland; she was lively, fun and very respectful. The wind that presented itself to us after I offered a chant in honor of a well known makani that frequents the area. It seemed to be a playful sort of breeze and it lent to the jovial atmosphere among the group of people who were in attendance. Several pictures were taken without incident except for one; it was a photograph taken by the friend of the woman from Finland. In the pic, the visitor from far away stood under a tree facing left. An ectoplasmic anomaly appeared to be pointing at her back pack. When she saw the picture a second later, she asked if the Hawaiian royalty liked to drink?
“I’m sure they did partake,” I replied.
The woman then revealed that in her back pack were a few bottles of German beer that she’d hoped to drink later, perhaps after our ghost tour had concluded.
“Do you think they want my beer?” She asked.
According to the picture it appeared as if that’s exactly what they wanted. An appropriate offering was made and afterwards we departed the area to visit another location. All I will say is that when Ali'i kupuna make it apparent that they want something, you don’t ask questions. You give it to them.
