Post 4: The Sun God

RA 

When we look into the sky at the blazing ball of fire we see what the Egyptians believed to be a deity or at least something one was controlling. The god they believed to see was Ra; he is the king of all Egyptian gods along with being the god of the sun. Ra is another very well-known, deity being referenced across all forms of media and games. Prior to Ra, there was nothing: no land, no light, no humans, no Gods. When Ra came into existence he started creating everything else using fragments of himself. Ra was already one of the strongest beings but he merged with another god, Amun creating Amun-Ra, the strongest god in Egypt.

Ra and the Sun
Ra is interesting due to the sheer power he is seen to hold. He can vaporize mortals whenever he pleases and can overpower almost any god. He is quite well known, making appearances in many media including more recent things such as Call of Duty.

    It makes scence that the god of the sun is basicly the god of everything, due to the sun playing a part in the creation of all life.

Post 12: Goddess of Volcanoes

PELE Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of Volcanoes and Flame. She controls the volcanoes of Hawaii and the fires they produce.  Pele is also known as the spirit that shapes the sacred land.  Since she controls the volcanoes she is considered one of the most vital deities in Polynesia. If Pele never existed then the volcanoes would never have existed nor, in turn, would the islands of Hawaii of formed.  She is not a purely benevolent goddess. She seeks to protect those who inhabit her land and protects them from all foreign forces that endanger them. To Hawaiians she is the reason why they have land to live on, beautiful nature, and safety from the volcanoes. Pele in control of volcano
