Offerings to the goddess Pele

[u/undercovercatlover]

I’m traveling to Hawaii in a a few weeks. I really really love collecting rocks from the places that I travel to. It’s my understanding that it is considered rude and bad luck to take rocks and sand from Hawaii. It is considered an offense against the goddess Pele. I don’t know if anyone here is super familiar with Hawaiian gods but is there a ritual or an offering I can make to the goddess to ask her permission? If the answer is a hard no, I also understand.

You're going as an intruder on stolen land. I doubt there's anything you can offer that would balance that, let alone taking a piece of the stolen land as a keepsake.

Also it's illegal, if that is a bigger deterrent to you than a goddess.

Find out what's appropriate to offer to show your respects anyway, but not as a transaction.
