Pele's Passion was inspired by a spring equinox trip, to experience the active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. On a beautiful evening, during a full moon, 8 women friends and I hiked across the newly forming earth to watch in awe as Pele's red hot juices streamed off the cliff to meet the sea in a passionate embrace!

A meditation on Pele, the "Mountain Mother and Devouring Crone" who teaches us how to live cooperatively with Nature from The Goddesses for Every Season by Nancy Blair. Close your eyes and imagine that you are Pele. Stand in Mountain pose (spine straight, feet together, head up, eyes closed) feeling grounded and strong. Feel the rhythmic inner pulse of flowing warm energy at your core. Allow the warm red energy to flow up your spine, awakening and stimulating every cell in your body. Let it flow out the top of your head like a fountain. As it moves out around you, feel the red flow burning up any unwanted psychic debris. Now is the time for releasing anything that restrains your Elemental Female Fire. Name what you are banishing. Say it aloud. Feel the space around you tingle and glow as you clear the land, reviving the life force. Open your eyes feeling renewed and refreshed. Practice your Pele power throughout the week. At the center of the fire, something new is waiting to be revealed."
