In Hawaiian mythology, Pele is the goddess of volcanoes, fire, lightning and dance who is said to currently reside in the sacred Mt. Kilauea volcano. She is known for her beauty, passion and especially fiery temper, and her fits of rage usually result in eruptions that destroy settlements that have upset her and sending lava over the people that angered her or simply turning them to stone. It was she who dug the opening of Kilauea and rules the deities there. It is said she warns islanders of pending eruptions. She is also known as a goddess of hula and is a prominently featured entity in many hula dances.
Pele's curse is a superstition that comes from any person who takes a natural object, normally a rock, from the Hawaiian islands as a souvenir. Said person would inevitably suffer extreme bad luck until the object is returned to Hawaii. While there is no ancient mentioning of such a curse, Hawaii State Park rangers would use the belief to discourage tourists from taking rocks from the park.
