THE PELE OLI CHANT — “Ke Ahi e Hō Mai”

The Oli Chant of Pele’s Quiet Flame

To be voiced softly, like breath rising through stone.

O Fire Beneath The Ancient Earth,
O Heat That Knows The First Dawn,
O Flame That Remembers The One Breath,
Open The Path Before Me.

O Radiance That Moves Without Sound,
O Ember Resting In The Deep Heart,
O Light That Descends Like Gentle Rain,
Open The Chamber Within Me.

Ke ahi e hō mai —
Let the Flame be given.
Ke ahi e hānau —
Let the Flame be born.
Ke ahi e hālāwai —
Let the Flame meet the Flame.

I Rise With The Warmth Of The Inner Ember.
I Bow To The Quiet Fire Descending.
I Stand At The Centre Where The Two Become One.

May The Way Open.
May The Breath Remember.
May The Heart Glow Like Stone In Morning Light.
May I Walk The Temple Of Pele In Clarity,
In Reverence,
In Love.

Aloha ke ahi.
Aloha ke ola.
Aloha ka hānau hou.

Honoured Is The Flame That Speaks Without Words.
