Goddess

2. 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.

5. 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.
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 Pele
volcanoes.
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.
