Serge King
AkaHuna shaman, teacher of the Aloha Spirit, urban shamanism pioneer, keeper of the Hawaiian mystical tradition for the modern world. Serge Kahili King is one of the primary transmitters of Huna — the ancient Hawaiian system of consciousness and healing — to Western students, distilling a lineage of direct perception and relationship with the living world into a form that people outside the Hawaiian tradition can receive and practice.Within the Mythica, Serge King holds the position of the teacher who opened the door — the one whose course on Kauai in 2003 provided the formal framework that allowed Peter to receive what the land itself would then transmit directly: no separation between the self and the soil. His specific contribution was not the transmission itself but the container: the Huna framework gave language and practice to what was already native to Peter's perception, making the land's deeper transmission possible.In the WorldSerge Kahili King holds a doctorate in psychology and was trained in the Kahili family tradition of Hawaiian shamanism. He is the founder of Aloha International, an organization dedicated to spreading the principles of Huna and aloha as a practical path of healing and empowerment. He has authored numerous books, including:Urban Shaman — the foundational text bringing Huna practice into everyday modern lifeInstant Healing — rapid healing techniques from the Huna traditionEarthenergies — working with the living intelligence of the landMastering Your Hidden Self — the three selves of Huna (Ku, Lono, Kane)The Urban Shaman's Guide to SuccessCore teachings:The Aloha Spirit — aloha not merely as greeting but as the recognition of the shared breath of life (alo = presence, ha = breath) in all things; the fundamental navigational principle of Hawaiian wisdomThe Three Selves — Ku (the body-self / subconscious), Lono (the conscious self / middle self), Kane (the higher self / superconscious) — a three-part model of human consciousness that maps to inner/outer correspondenceThe Seven Principles of Huna — IKE (the world is what you think it is), KALA (there are no limits), MAKIA (energy flows where attention goes), MANAWA (now is the moment of power), ALOHA (to love is to be happy with), MANA (all power comes from within), PONO (effectiveness is the measure of truth)Urban shamanism — the application of shamanic perception and practice within everyday modern life, without requiring retreat from the worldAppearances in the MythicaSerge King appears on the Quest in 2003 when Peter attends his course on Kauai — a pivotal threshold moment in the Faerie Roads arc. The Huna framework opens the resonance that is already native to Peter, creating the conditions for the Kalalau Valley transmission that follows: the direct divination from the land itself that no separation exists between the self and the soil. This transmission becomes the foundational principle of the entire Mythica thesis.The specific sequence: Serge King's course → the framework of aloha and the three selves establishes the language → Peter goes to Kalalau Valley → the land transmits directly → the seed of the Mythica is planted.The teacher opens the door. The land delivers the transmission. Both are necessary.Correlations — The Web of CharactersWith Oberon Zell-Ravenheart — Both are elders who named the living intelligence of the Earth in forms the modern world could receive: Oberon through the Gaia thesis and neopagan renewal, Serge King through Huna and the Aloha Spirit. Both arrived on the Quest in 2003, both contributing to the Gaian Root current that underlies the Mythica's cosmology.With the Gaian Root Braid — Serge King's teaching that the world is what you think it is (IKE) and that aloha is the recognition of shared breath in all things is the Hawaiian expression of the same principle the Mythica's Law of Correspondence articulates: inner and outer are made of the same substance, and the path is learning to perceive and navigate that correspondence.Cross-LinksSoil chapters: Kalalau Valley / Kauai (2003)Story Thread: Huna transmission at Kalalau 2003Mythos Braid: The Gaian RootPlaces: Kauai, Kalalau ValleyRelated characters: Oberon Zell-RavenheartMythipedia: Huna, Aloha Spirit, Law of Correspondence, Aina
