Volcano
Volatility
Pele is the goddess who lives on the big island of Hawaii, dwelling there in the craters of the active volcano Kilauea. She’s considered passionate, volatile, and conspicuous, and as perhaps the best known of the panoply of Hawaiian deities. Since 1983 she has been sending ribbons of lava down the mountain side and into the sea, thereby creating new land.
In this image, we see her subtle visage in the spewing fire of the volcano. An ancient Hawaiian chance Pele is described as “She who shapes the sacred land,” and it’s from this magnificent and powerful goddess being and her periodic eruptions that new earth is formed as the resulting live emerges with her sister, the goddess of the sea Na– Maka – O-Kaha’i I.
The volatile and unpredictable nature of the volcanic eruptions is widely known and in spite of sciences efforts at forecasting these blowups, they sometimes happen without warning. Whether the eruptions are slow and steady or violent and explosive, it’s an unstoppable force, and one very dramatic way nature changes, and shapes the land.
This is particularly volatile time for you. Unexpected changes, sometimes quite sudden and dramatic, our occurring in ways that you have absolutely no control over. These occurrences may be so powerful as to shake up what you formally thought of as the foundations of your security. They may even cause you to reassess the direction of your life is taking, to question some of your relationships, or to reevaluate the work you have chosen.
Although these events may rock your worlds, know that spirit is the guiding force behind them. It is a matter of finding your trust that life knows what it is doing in the midst of these storms of change. It also requires you to make adjustments quickly and to not cling to what was, but instead move forward and welcome with your arms wide open what is yet to come, all from a place of being present in this moment. You truly have nothing to fear.💖💫
