Outside my window is a mountain. Everyone knows it as Koko Crater. But it's actual name is Kohelepelepe which is the Hawaiian name for the labia minor. The story is that a goddess, attempting to rescue another goddess named Pele, throws her vagina all the way from Hawai'i island to O'ahu and it lands in this spot.

I think about this nearly every day (because of the mountain outside my window).

Here's two links related to the story: Wikipedia and a more local essay.

So.. Hawaiian mythology is mostly about vaginas? πŸ€”

I firmly believe that you can judge a civilization by whether their creation myths, folklore figures, and proto-deities are all on team phallus or team vulva.

Most of the "good" ones by classical to modern standards; team vulva.

I will neither elaborate nor go dig up references because that's work and then a reader might be denied looking up ancient stone penises and vaginas for an afternoon, and that would be tragic.

The norse creation myth involves frost-giants sucking the teats of a cow.

I thought the cow licked the ice into the shape of a giant, and then it arose.

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I think that's part of it too. First the cow licks a giant into life, and then it drinks maybe?

That's awesome and wild.

Also, are you native Hawaiian? Else how is living on Oahu? We have dreamed of it in the past, sounds delightful in many ways!
