This week, we-re continuing our talk about the characteristics of Goddesses, and we-re going to look in depth at two stories from parts of the world we haven-t visited much in this series so far. From Hawaii, we-re going to hear a story about Pe-le, the great goddess of the Hawaiian Islands, and we-ll hear the story of the gifts of the White Buffalo Calf Woman from Native American tradition. We-ll look at the similarities and the differences in these stories, and talk about how goddesses interact with the world and with humanity in pretty interesting ways. Our

Actually lohi'au and Pelehonuamea married, they also made love many times for many nights in her dream. There are other stories that are part of this epic as well. The other thing that was wrong on your telling is that the reason why Pelehonuamea burned Hi'iaka'ikapoli'opele's Grove down was because she vowed to remain chaste until Lohi'au was delivered safely back to the volcano. But Hi'iaka'ikapoli'opele strayed and had a fling with another chief, so Pelehonuamea in rage over Hi'iaka'ikapoli'opele not keeping her promise, burned everything down and transformed Hopoe into a rock. Also the reason why Pele decided to stop destroying is because Hi'iaka'ikapoli'opele's was about to destroy the foundations of Hawai'i island. The older God's intervened and calmed both sisters down. Lohi'au's 'aikane(intimate friend) is a side story.

In the West African Yoruba pantheon, there is also Oya (AKA Iansa) who is one of the -hot Gods, ) associated with hurricanes. She is also associated with the African Buffalo. In one myth, she tells her husband never to look in the closet. Of course, he does and finds a buffalo skin, so she kills him. Oya has two lovers who are always fighting over her. One, Shango, is the god of lightning, drums and dancing. The other, Ogun, is the God of blacksmithing, iron, and war. It seems that there is a global connection between hot, fiery goddesses and buffalo.

I only know Pele from Shin Megami Tensei and for a goddess with insane power in her mythology of origin she is pretty weak in those games. In SMT4 you can fuse her at like level 7, so to compare that to Pokemon she's like as strong as maybe a Pidgeotto at best.

I clearly discovered Crash Course Mythology too late. I would love the Thoth Provoking Tote Bag, but it seems they are long gone. Any chance they'll be rereleased?

One wonders if we can apply the same type of veneration to these non-European Deities as Western cultures had and have.
