Hand made with our signature natural shell milky white clay, Pele is a show stopper at any dinner party or mantlepiece.

Pele, the ancient Hawaiian volcano goddess, is one of the most well-known figures in Hawaiian mythology, even today. She is known as the goddess of fire, volcanoes, and lighting throughout the Hawaiian indigenous population. There is no Hawaiian fire God, only a goddess in ancient Hawaiian mythology. 

Pele is said to have been born in Tahiti, only to be banished from the island itself for being too angry and impulsive. A descendant of the Sky Father along with a spirit by the name of Haumea, Pele’s life was rife with chaos and familial disturbance. Ultimately, Pele was murdered by her own sister, then turned into a goddess upon her death.

To date, those who are in the indigenous Hawaiian population are said to still follow and respect Pele, as she is one of the oldest documented Hawaiian goddesses known in modern times.

Those who follow the Hawaiian indigenous religion believe that anyone who removes rocks or Lava from the homes of the islands as a souvenir is doomed to misfortune and bad luck.
