The Eruption of Mount Merapi brings lava & mysticism

The eruption of Indonesia's reawakened Mount Merapi intensified to its highest level today with red-hot boulders and searing gas clouds surging down its slopes. The evacuation of villages surrounding the crater has been stepped up but some 200 people still refuse to comply with urgent warnings to leave, citing ancient mystical beliefs as they attempt to assuage the volcano's fury with incense and ritual.
