Mana Magic: How You Can Use the Powerful Huna Secret of Ancient Hawaii in Today's High Tech World.
Los Angeles, CA: Barnhart Press, 1988. First Edition. Original Wraps. A world traveler, John Bainbridge's focus on esoterica has resulted in books published on Huna and comparative religions. Huna Huna (Hawaiian for "secret") is the word adopted by the non-Hawaiian New Age author Max Freedom Long (1890–1971) in 1936 to describe his theory of metaphysics. Long cited what he believed to be the spiritual practices of the ancient Hawaiian kahunas (priests) as inspiration; however, contemporary scholars consider the system to be his invention designed through a mixture of a variety of spiritual practices from various cultures, with roots in New Thought and Theosophy, rather than in traditional Hawaiian indigeous beliefs.
