Still lives in Kilauea. Many in Hawaii - nominally Christians - still believe in her, long after forsaking the other old gods. They leave her offerings of gin - no kidding. Instead of a picture of a tiki - a carved piece of wood - you could work up an interpretation or impression of Pele that is both sexy and menacing, and different from typical "tiki" tats. Maybe against background of erupting volcano. Pele Rising, by Jim Warren: Or not. [ Edited by: Limbo Lizard 2008-08-07 10:32 ]
