Hawaiian folklore holds that one should never carry pork over Nuʻuanu Pali, especially at night. In olden days, motorists reported that their cars mysteriously stopped and would not start until the pork was removed from the car. Pele (a more powerful and influencal goddess than Mo’o Wahine) was said to be responsible for this to preventing passage of pork over the Pali. It was said Pele, the volcano goddess, was responsible for preventing passage with her content with Kamapua'a, a half human half hog god, and would not allow him (in the form of pork) to trespass on her side of the island.
