The Island of the Temple People is a part of the Lemurian Archipelago and can only be reached under the steerage of le Enchanteur on the SS Vulcania. This island is the first port that the Vulcania visits.
On the Island of the Temple People there is a still, deep pond. It is in the mountain tops and is believed to be the place where the First People resided. This is the home of the original ones and is the place where it is possible to connect with the ultimate fertility – nature’s ability to produce life spontaneously.
Ships usually arrive in time for the Fertility Rituals which include personally choreographed dances like the one Enchanteur is leading here. The Island of the Temple People appears idyllic and it is a place of healing. Some believe that the elixar of creativity is to be found here. One thing is certain, the Island of the Temple People is a place of great mysery. There are secrets waiting to be unearthed.
Passengers may choose to go no further than the small harbor village or they may venture into the mountains beyond. The call of the Wild Mother echoes through the valleys of this part of Lemuria but be careful of the call of some pipers. They have been known to lead people to places they do not want to go.
Be sure to have your walnut shells with you when you disembark and remember to listen for the sound of the Vulcania calling you back when it is time to embark for the next destination.
Arrive in Time for the Carnival
Carnival is celebrated on the Island of the Temple People regularly. The celebration continues to grow with the arrival of new pilgrims, some of whom choose to take up permanent residence on the island. Colourful artistic floats, grotesque masks and dance companies of all ages and sexes parade the streets of the town and the main villages throughout the five days. A spontaneous carnival is organised after sunset in the villages. Hundreds of people walk up and down the main street dressed in comically distorted figures and the most imaginative and creative costumes and masks to conceal their identity.
