Episode 39 - Pagan Origins of Kava.

In this episode, we go deeper than culture and tradition to uncover the true origins of kava. Where did it come from? What beliefs shaped it? And why does its history matter today?We explore ancient Tongan stories like Kavaʻonau and ʻAhoʻeitu, revealing a world rooted in pagan beliefs, sacrifice, hierarchy, and spiritual systems very different from what many people follow today. From stories involving sacrifice and cannibalism to the role of kava in royal ceremonies connected to divine ancestry, this episode challenges the idea that kava is simply harmless tradition.We also compare this history with the Bible, looking at how God commanded His people to completely remove idol worship and not mix it with their lives, raising an important question: Why are some practices from the past rejected, while others are preserved and defended?This is not just about kava, it’s about truth, discernment, and the courage to question what we’ve been taught.Support the showHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.Sign the Petition to ban tou'a and protect women and children.            https://pasifikaempowerment.org/campaignsYou can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment
