8 | People also burn fake money which in Chinese culture is meant to aid people in the afterlife. Such fires are illegal, the park statement said.
What are they supposed to buy in the afterlife with fake money?
First, Kilauea is the home of Pele, the fire goddess. The rest of the Hawaiian pantheon doesn't get much respect, but people, locals and tourists, give Pele respect still. She likes a certain kind of berry, a locket of your hair, and okolehau, the native hooch. Failing okolehau, Hennessey's Three Stars.
The fake money is probably Hell Bank Notes. You get them at any Asian market, mixed in with other burnable funeral goods. They're used to bribe undead officials for a better reincarnation than you're really do. Given that the smallest denomination I've seen is $100,000, Hell apparently is subject to hyperinflation. Which is a good definition of Hell. | | Previous - Next | Reply - Reply With Quote | | | | |
