} Pele’s curse {
One of the most well-known myths of Hawaii is the Curse of Pele. Pele was the Goddess of fire, lightning, wind, dance and volcanoes. She is known for her fiery passion and quick temper. She is so jealous and temperamental in fact, that if anyone should remove a single rock or a bit of sand (sand and rocks being her children), then they can expect her wrath. According to the legend, those who do, will suffer bad luck as a consequence of acurse. Many believe that this was just something that the local guides invented in order to stop tourists from stealing bits of the island. Regardless, countless tourists send back bits of rock that they took from Hawaii, to undo the perceived curse of Pele.
