SPEAKER_02: From WonderMedia Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanaka. This month we're talking about goddesses, mythical figures who've shaped culture, history, and imagination around the world. She is the creator of the Hawaiian Islands, also known as the woman who devours the earth. Sometimes she's young and beautiful, with flowing black hair and a ball of flame glowing in her hands. Other times, she's an old woman with a small white dog by her side. Other times still, her face mysteriously appears in photos of lava flows and fiery eruptions. Let's meet Pele. Legend has it that Pele was born in Kahiki, an ancient island near modern-day Polynesia that's considered an ancient homeland to many Hawaiians. From a young age, Pele showed the potential to become a powerful goddess. Her uncle, Lonomakwa, became her mentor. He gave her a special digging stick called a pa'ua and taught her how to harness her powers. Stories vary on what prompted Pele to flee her home. In some tellings, young Pele set fire to her home and was unable to put it out. In another, her power and fiery temper threatened her father and he banished her. In yet another, Pele seduced her sister Namaka's lover and then fled from her sister's wrath. In each instance, Pele set off in a canoe to traverse the Pacific Ocean. She carried her younger sister, Hiyaka, along with her in the form of an egg. In pursuit was her vengeful eldest sister, Namaka. Pele reached the island of Kauai. There, she dug into the earth, creating a glowing pit of fire. Namaka could see the orange glow reflected in the clouds above the pit and pursued Pele, setting off a tidal wave in the process. Pele then fled to Oahu, where again she dug into the earth to create a fire pit. Namaka caused the pit to fill with salt water and doused the flames. Again and again, Pele fled and dug holes, puncturing the earth and causing fire to spit and lava to ooze from within. Finally, on the western slopes of Maui, Namaka caught up with Pele. The sisters fought to the death, Pele with her fire and Namaka with her water. Namaka triumphed. She killed Pele and broke her body into pieces until it was just a pile of bones. Namaka rejoiced, until a volcano on the nearby island of Hawaii started erupting. Namaka saw the tower of fiery lava lighting up the sky and knew her sister's spirit lived on. She would never be able to truly defeat Pele. On the big island of Hawaii, Pele traveled further to the volcano of Kilauea. She dug her stick into the ground and finally found her new home in the crater of Halema'uma'u. Pele is said to still be there to this day. Pele has been both a creative and destructive force upon the lands of Hawaii. The Halema'uma'u crater is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. In the past 40 years, it has added 70 acres of new land to the southeastern coastline of the big island. Whenever a new eruption hits, lava flows down the mountains. The land and sea shake from earthquakes. Forests are set on fire. Lava streams dribble across highways, blocking paths to escape. Anything in Pele's path is susceptible to complete destruction. Yet many Native Hawaiians and Hawai'i residents are at peace with the goddess's volatility and accept living at Pele's will. Some travel near cracks in the lava rock and leave offerings for Pele, like crystals, money, incense, and even whole cooked pigs. Native Hawaiians recognize tens of thousands of gods. Pele is the most powerful and important of them all. All month we're talking about goddesses. For more information, find us on Facebook and Instagram, at Womanaka Podcast. Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and co-creator. Talk to you tomorrow.
