A small rock or just a collection of black sand can open up doors of hell for you! “She is Pele-honua-mea, Pele of the Sacred Land. She is Pele-‘ai’houna, Pele the eater of land, when she devours the land with her flames. She who rules the volcanoes of Hawai’i, and Mankind has no power to resist her.

The fact that many have actually taken the time to send back the stolen items also proves the curse to be real. The curse is powerful because there will always be regret. Pele is very powerful and her consequences for those who take part in her curse will heavily regret
