- A recent social media post by Haleakala National Park on Maui urges people to not take lava rocks. It says the park received 1,275 rocks this year in the mail.
Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures... literally had to remind myself that when I went lol
I have a legitimate question that I would be grateful if someone would respond to. What about rocks that are taken for scientific research, such as chemical composition and magnetic orientation?
Good question. I don't know the answer to what happen to the one who took the rock. But you can go to Hawaii and take a rock and bring it home. It seems harmless right?
2 years late, but i’ve heard that Hawaiians are allowed to take the rocks for research with permission from Pele, the goddess of fire. :)
@@boobuh , sounds interesting. This was a question that came up to my mind about the scientists taking rock samples for study. Well it is better to be safe than sorry.
They have rituals performed when removing items for research. Tourists are very disrespectful and trample where they don't belong and steal items. Mail of shame to return something that doesn't belong to them.
Look up the definition of "Take".
what if a tiny rock accidentally gets lodged in your shoe and you didn't know?
I still had the worst luck ever and that happened to me: got fired, watch broke, boyfriend broke up w me, lost next job, and went jogging along Honolulu river and a tree fell on back.
you are okay
@@gozimusable1really pls tell did it really happen from taking lava rock
I think it has to do with intent. If it's stuck to your shoe, that doesn't mean you meant to steal it. But if you picked it up on purpose with sole intent on taking it back with you, that's when the bad luck happens.
If its accidental then it will not effect you but if you disrespect pele and steal the rock then ot will affect you the worst.
I think you have to intentionally take the rock. Like me....haaha It's real. If you ever go to Hawaii don't just visit the beach, but also the hiking trail up the mountain. It's quite a view. Then you might stumble on some stacking rocks, the big one at the bottom then the middle size, last he smallest one on top. they are all on a leave. That is also the sign of respect they pay for the Island gods. Do not disturb them.
I think it all has to do with an exchange that goes on mentally in your awareness to the surrounding ether. If you pilfer it without attempting to ask humbly, barter, or leave an equivalent item of spiritual value, the environment interprets you as an invading theif, and your subconscious is then free to dynamically react so that situations seem like your receiving the misfortune that you started by not being mindful of those who were there first, and reside possibly there still just unseen who are upset by no longer being acknowledged. They should establish a natural item exchange tourist destination to show how super considerate Americans can be about the mystical when we want to.
Self-fulfilling prophecy. Took rocks? Suddenly everything that goes wrong is because of the rock. Didn't take a rock? You find new scapegoats for your problems.
no, rocks have a spirit all of their own. You are out of tune with energy and the spirit world apparently.
And don’t Take Our Lava rocks here either. From Any Of Our Volcanoes, State Wide! Leave New Mexico ‘s Volcanoes Alone!
We dont be messin with your guys lava rocks, you can keep that shii, we dont want em 💀. Its some of you guys who gotta stay away 🤣
Ah! So u wanna go Insulting “Our” Volcanoes?? Which I must add, are Way older then the ones there! U guys have Legends and That, As Do We! I would Never Come Over There! We were the Ocean many times. And Will be again!! Then Don’t ever think about Coming to the “True Volcano State”! U guys only have 1 type. We Got them All!! And others. So u stay away. And again, We have Ghosts around here too. Which MUST BE RESPECTED!! When it comes to Our Volcanoes.
Even if you don’t believe in it, just don’t take anything even jokingly stated to be “cursed”...Because if something bad happens, your ‘souvenir’ will just serve as a depressing reminder. You won’t even feel good about throwing it away and will go through the trouble to send it back.
I agree. Even if you don't believe in the curse, just don't take any rocks. It's common sense to respect the environment and a culture's beliefs. Also, if there is a curse, you wouldn't want to take a risk of taking a rock.
I'm not that superstitious, but I acknowledge the existence of the supernatural including this curse. So I wouldn't take any rocks from there.
my cousin took sand/shells from yokes and a week after getting home to Cali she walked in on her bf cheating wit her sister in law.. she didnt believe me when I told her bad batchi she take da sand an shells
so the bf was doing his own sister?
He would have cheated regardless. Don't believe in a folklore curse. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be fine.
@@iamknosound not everyone believes in Jesus though. Just for future reference you shouldn't tell people to believe in what you believe in. Comes off kinda rude and I heard your God doesn't look to kindly on rude people
Oh look who's passing judgment and being rude. You my dear. "People with glass houses should not throw stones."
And I KNOW don't hear that God in which this is about is false. I am to never place false Gods before the almighty God. My faith in God doesn't allow me to live and believe in a so called God that lives in a Volcano.
I heard someone took rocks and his daughter got ran over by a car
I was given some lava rocks from there and to me there just rocks
You need to take the rock to find out the fact when you have a chance. I took that chance and I did found out. There are a 4.5 miles hiking trail up the mountain and you can see both east and west sides. Its beautiful. I even know the spot for swimming at night that is safe. Know the local people and their traditions. I am a Christian and these thing are superstition to me but the fact is undeniable, things of the spirit world. It doesn't mean I am abandon my faith. What happened to the one that took the rock? May be the one who took the rock is not who gave it to you.
Can you hold them?
My friend Rob told me about this. He said it’s true and he’s has bad luck since. Rob died a couple years ago. I was thinking about him and googled the curse. RIP Rob!
In the Orient, we believe spirits inhabit the living and non-organisms (mountains, trees, rocks, statues etc.,) that have witnessed the passage of time. People would murmur words like "sorry, for the inconvenience" before they peed in a forest. That is why Natives that live deep in the forest, or mountain practice animism, and some form of sacrificial to appease these spirits.
I wonder if ypu placed a rock from your home state on the ground near the lava what would happen?
I bet you suddenly remember all the other lives you've also been but long ago forgotten because we keep getting displaced and reborn in a karmic cycle caused by some resistance we choose to deny thus it persists to reteach us from a blank slate.
@@DeanRendar ...Say what now?
I HAD ONE IN MY HANDS AND I GOT GOOD LUCK!!!
At the end of the day tourists are too disrespectful. They come with the arrogance of superiority and with the intention of trampling where they don't belong...also to steal something they should not have or take items for the purpose of showing off to their friends and family back home. The native Hawaiians know to ask, pray and perform rituals for permission whilst tourists scoff at and do things for greed and validation. Mail of shame to return the rocks with no letters nor notes inside the box. You have been humbled.
I make pohaku ku'i 'ai and I get my stones from a very special place. I pray and ask permission before I take
Yeah, there's something demonic going on there. Get your house blessed, repent of your sins and change your lives. Be careful of the items you bring home, they might be cursed or possessed by evil spirits. Lord Jesus, protect us.
I've heard of this. Similar "sorry stones" have occurred also in Australia with Ayers Rock. This has even occurred in Gettysburg. Even though it will be tempting to bring something home, I wouldn't want to risk getting bad luck. I've heard that the curse was actually just made up by park rangers in the 1940s, but I wouldn't want to take anything. For there has to be something going on. Not all people can be lying, coincidence, suggestion, etc. People should just leave things alone...
There is no such thing as "bad luck". Ha ha 😂
@@SurvivorPrepper1776 , how so?
I can name a lot of bad things that has happened in my life... if I happened to get a rock from Hawaii a couple years ago... people could just assume it’s the rock... a lot of bad things happen I think people just notice it more
That's my thought as well...terrible things happen everyday
The point is that usually the bad things *start* after they steal the rocks and *stop* when they return them.
You become what you think about most of the time.
haha funni rock
typical tourists ... you tell um no go hea' or dea' N dem go. you tell um no sit dea' N den do. you tell um take N dem take. den dey ask why dis why dat N you tell um how come den dem say dey no believe.... now dey believe ... ass y hard
This is really how u talk?
Gozer The Gatekeeper lmfao das how we talk hea in Hawaii, it’s called “Hawaiian Pidgin”
Boo blop blippidy bloo boo
I had to re-read this a few times to fully understand what you said... But, I think I got the hang of it now! 🤔😂
@@gozimusable1 It's Pidgin English, some people in Hawaii talk like this. And guess what, even for people like me who don't, I know exactly what he is saying.
Pele is NOT real
By brother got hit by a car
Keep on stealing from Hawaii, you were all warned! Isn't ironic some people never leaves Hawaii the same way they arrived. I saw what you did in Hawaii, last summer. Do you really think mailing the return of the pohaku will help you?
Reminds me of moana
Moana's island woman thing was most likely inspired by Pele, or at least that's what I thought when I saw the part where the island woman was pissed and she was made out of lava rocks.
Oh, I remember, yeah so she was called Te Fiti... I don't remember a lot of the movie, haven't seen it in quite while :)
Nothing but bs.
@@Hawaiian-iz9ik haha good one!
It's totally real
She's real... since Hawaiians are African decent... the motherland still has powers... it's b.s. till you experience it been to hawaii and I knew never to take pele.s rocks she will get you
