Welcome back, witches! In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating realms of Hawaiian Deities, focusing on Lono, the god of peace and fertility, and Pele, the powerful goddess of fire and volcanoes. This episode is for educational purposes only, as Hawaiian spirituality is a closed practice. We are also going to touch on the effects of tourism and highlight a few Hawaiian content creators we came across! So, get in loser; we're exploring the sacred energies of the islands!
