Spiritualist guardian of Indonesian volcano among those killed
27th October 2010
The man, known as Grandfather Marijan, was among 29 people pulled from the fine grey ash as rescue workers scoured the slopes for victims and survivors of the eruptions.
From his house beneath the smoking crater, the royally appointed guardian, aged in his 70s, had for years led traditional rituals to appease the Indonesian volcano’s ancient spirits.
Guess it didn’t work.

Any similarity to Grandfather Marijan watching the volcano explode and Ben Bernanke watching the economy implode is strictly coincindental.
