Post 9: Heavens Guardian

 Nu Wa

Nu Wa is a Chinese goddess who is one of the most powerful beings. She has created all of human life from minerals and clay and watches over us from heaven. She is also credited with making heaven. Heaven and Earth were damaged in a battle and started to separate. Nu Wa stepped in and slew the being destroying Earth and preventing the disconnection of Heaven and Earth. She created five stones to help her do this, one for each element: fire, earth, water, wind, and metal. She used these stones to defend Earth after the catastrophe. She later went on to rule China with her brother.

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
