Moo Aumakua Medallion Hawaii T-Shirt

The mo'o — lizard, dragon spirit, guardian of Hawaiian springs and pools.

The Meaning of the Moʻo

The mo'o — lizard, dragon spirit, water guardian — has watched over Hawaiian springs and pools for as long as the chants remember.

Among Hawaiian aumakua, the mo'o is the guardian of fresh water sources: the spring at the base of a cliff, the pond in a hidden valley, the stream that surfaces near the shore. Mo'o are often female, often beautiful, often serious about who is allowed near their waters. To approach a known mo'o pool is to approach with care, with proper protocol, and never with arrogance. Families who claim mo'o as their aumakua carry that same lineage of watchful protection forward. The medallion form gathers all of that meaning into a single emblem.

For Those Who Honor the Guardians

For locals, this design honors a guardian whose presence is felt at every freshwater spring. For visitors, it is a souvenir of the unseen Hawai'i — the one that lives in the green places, not just the blue.
