Pele, the Volcano Goddess by Ana

Pele was the beautiful but tempestuous Goddess of Volcanoes. She had frequent moments of anger. She was both honoured and feared.

She could cause earthquakes by stamping her feet or volcanic eruptions and fiery lava by digging with her Pa’oa, her magic stick.

Pele had a long and bitter argument with her older sister, Namakaokahai. The fight ended up forming the Hawaiian Islands.

Namakaokahai,the Goddess of the Sea by Luka

Namakaokahai is Pele’s older sister and she lives in the Pacific. She’s all in blue, like the sea. She was jealous because Pele, the Goddess of the volcanoes, was both honoured and feared.

Pele

She was mean. She didn’t respect her younger sister. She was evil, because she tried to destroy her sister. She didn’t like her forming of the volcanoes. She was attacking Pele, by sending waves to her volcanoes.

Pele battles Namakaokahai

Namakaokahai believed that she could kill her sister but it wasn’t true. She realised that she could never crush her sister’s indomitable spirit. The fights ended up forming Halemaumau Crater, the final and eternal fire pit.
