If it was seen to swim briskly they went to battle cheerfully; but if it turned round now and then on its back that was a veto on fighting. Faamalu was also seen in a cloud or shade. If a cloud preceded them in going to battle they advanced courageously; if, however, the clouds were all behind they were afraid. In a quarrel a mischief-maker would be cursed and given over to the wrath of Faamalu.
He still lived, however, and moved about in all the other existing owls of the country. FAAMALU, Shade. The name of a village god, and represented by a trumpet-shell. On the month for annual worship all the people met in the place of public gatherings with heaps of cooked food.
If anything was stolen the sufferer would go along the road shouting and calling on Faamalu to be avenged on the thief. In another district Faamalu was only a war-god had a temple with a shell in it, and the shell was carried about with the troops. The trees all around the temple were sacred, and never used for any purpose. FAAOLA, Life-giver. The name of a war-god.
Any one transgressing would have to go to the beach and beat his forehead with stones till the blood flowed, so as to prevent his being devoured by a shark the next time he went to fish. In time of war Faamalu was also represented by a fish, the movements of which were watched.
