Huna (Hawaiian for "secret") is a new religious movement by the New Age practitioner Max Freedom Long (1890–1971), founded in 1936, professing to be inspired from the spiritual practices of the ancient Hawaiian kahunas (priests), and includes his metaphysical principles. However, contemporary scholars consider the Huna as a blend of spiritual practices from various cultures, with roots in New Thought and Theosophy rather than in traditional Hawaiian beliefs.
