Post 8: The Storm God

 Susano

Susano was born into power and made to rule over others. He was given this tremendous power but misused it. His family had been rulers and his sister was the benevolent Amaterasu, who ruled the sky and sun. Susano ruled over the sea and storms. He's a violent deity who took many lives for the fun of it. His actions eventually led to his fall from grace. On his way to the underworld, he stopped at Earth and met humans whose families were murdered. Susano decided to change his ways and protect these humans and avenge their families. Susano never fully changed and continues to struggle between the raging storm and calm sea within himself.

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
