Pele:
Hawaiian Fire Goddess of volcanos and fire. When I first saw these lava beads, an image of this necklace popped into my head and I knew who had sent it. My element is Fire and altho I have never been to the Islands, I have received messages from Pele before. This necklace was made in Her honor and dedicated to Her. Perfect for anyone who connects strongly with Pele. Her message is that fire can purify, releasing us from the old to make room for the new. She helps you get in touch with your true passion and charge up your motivation and excitement. She helps you feel everything on a deeper level and to be unafraid of taking action to manifest your heart's desire.

Lava:
Highly protective stone. Hawaiians used lava rocks to build heaiu, which were centers of religious and magical activities such as healing. A volcano is an ancient symbol of creation. When erupting it represents the four elements at work: earth & fire mix to create lava, which possess liquidity (water), and smoke (air) rises from the center.

Coral's connection to the Divine: Coral has played an important role in the religious and magical rites of many cultures throughout the Pacific Islands. Often placed on graves to guard the deceased, and temples were often built of lava rocks and coral. Red coral was considered by the Pueblo Indians to be one of the four element stones. The ancient Egyptians placed pieces of coral in tombs as a protection against evil spirits because they believed that each piece truly contained a drop of divine blood. According to Greek mythology, when Perseus chopped off the head of the Gorgon Medusa, some drops of blood splashed into the sea, and thereby solidified into coral.
