Meet Vulcan, Roman God of Fire, Volcanoes and Blacksmiths

Meet Vulcan, Roman God of Fire, Volcanoes and Blacksmiths

For some among you, Vulcan conjures mental images of Star Trek, with the name being that of the planet Spock calls home. For others, you'll know Vulcan as the Roman god of fire, volcanoes, and blacksmiths.

That's the incarnation of Vulcan we'll be looking at in this article. He's the equivalent of the Greek Hephaestus. His worship dates at least to the 8th century BCE, as far as records go, when the Romans built him a shrine.

He was an important god for the Romans, and like Silvanus and Juno, he was also important to ordinary people - not just the Roman state.

Let's look at some of his myths and how people worshipped him in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
