Lalahon is the Visayan goddess of the harvest, described by Loarca as dwelling in a volcano from which she throws forth fire. She holds the increase of the fields: when she is angry she sends swarms of locusts to destroy the crops, and the people offer to her so that she will withhold them and grant abundance instead. Her volcanic home is commonly identified with Kanlaon on Negros. Sources differ on whether Lalahon is the same being as Laon, 'the Ancient One,' the supreme deity for whom the mountain of Kanlaon appears to be named, or a distinct goddess later associated with the same peak.
