Pele has a beautiful and queenly appearance, and is a courageous warrior in battle. She has the attributes of both the royal and the priestly castes of the ancient islanders. Offerings to Pele are thrown into the craters of the volcanoes to avert eruptions and earthquakes. Here we see Pele in a womb-shaped crater within an obsidian volcano. The lava which she controls flows around her and up into the world to explode in a fiery eruption.
Lightning strikes down from the sky.
Pele shakes her battle spear above her head as she invokes her powers. Her spear is of wood, inlaid with razor-sharp obsidian flakes at the point and inlaid with sharks teeth at the base . Pele is the Goddess of Earth Fire who creates land masses and the rich soil which makes them fertile. From fire, steam and lava - earth is born. Kali is shown giving birth to the Universe.
