How does Pele effect the lives of the people today? Do people worship her?
What is the biggest difference between her and the Norse gods?

rocky Pontus


Hi Pontus,

Pele is taken very seriously in Hawaii. People make routine offerings. Some people claim to be direct descendents. (Pele was an actual person who sailed to Hawaii, probably from the island of Bora-bora, in about the 13th century. Later, she was deified.)

I have not had much success in finding anything specific about the Norse gods associated with volcanic eruptions. Could you give me some detailed information?

Sincerely,
John Dvorak
