| NAKAA:
Islanders in Micronesia believe that Nakaa, the god of the harvest, punishes
evil souls in the afterlife. Nakaa sits at the edge of the spirit
world where all departing souls must pass after death. The spirits of
those who have led good and decent lives are allowed to pass and enjoy
paradise. But when Nakaa detects a wicked soul approaching, the throws
an enchanted new over the spirit, trapping it forever. Rather than
finding peace in death, such souls struggle for eternity in a vain attempt
to free themselves. (o)
