 Trees make her better, bonfire makes her more powerful.  She sustains the power of propelling onto the hot things and that’s how she rides through life.  She’s known by so many different names:  Marinette of the dry arms (Marinette-Bwa-Chech), Marinette of the dry legs (Marinette-Pye-Chech), Marinette lit-fire (Marinette-Limen-Dife) and all these titles attribute of her skeletal figure.  Marinette fierce spirit of the Kongo-Zandò  nation of the voodoo pantheon. She was tortured by her past enemies and brought up to a loa after her mortal death.  She’s feared and as much respected by many.  Marinette has been always at the brink of elevation.  She’s able to ride on trees, wooden pole like a vine on the wall.  She's the owl in the morning and the bat at night.  As her dual façade projecting power, independence, protection, determination, announcement, presence from another dimension, ambiguity, intuition. Once Marinette sense danger on the horizon, she gears up to protect her children. She made her presence known by excreting scent of smoke, charcoal, gasoline and those who chose by her, they could hear a screechy noise from the inside of their ears.  Those who double cross her, could face loss of appetite, excess weight loss and could be inflicted by anemia. Her color is dark and carmine red.  Her offerings are black hens or pigs with dark toasted plantain, yams and she sometimes sip gasoline.  She likes everything that is burned, toasted, grilled and a bonfire of woods from Prosopis juliflora (Bayawonn).   Reminded all of her pain and suffering, which make her an untranquil spirit. As always Marinette dwells in Bayawonn tree.  It is said, that bayawonn holds hidden energies though its long taproots. Against all odds, Marinette is regarded as a powerful loa. She’s known to be very protective and never leave the side of her ridden while being in danger. As always, her spirit can be invoked in revolutionizing ritual, to cure the sick, drought land and so forth. She’s the mother to all those who are oppressed and known to free those from enslavement. Part of her power lies onto her broken manacles. In a temple that serves Marinette, you will see in the yard, a steel pike planted to the ground with a loose chain coiling around it.  That used as a portal to bring forth Mambo Marinette. Then, extend these words with you, when you want to be helped by her. Marinette fierce spirit of the Zandò nation, one who lives approximately with fire and trees. Eskalabaha Marinette, Eskalabaha Marinette, Escalabaha Marinette!

Spirits, called the Ghede. The Haitian Voodoo Pantheon

Image
The Gedes are the spirits of the death.  In Haiti, it is feasted in November 2 nd . It is known as all soul’s day.  A day that takes you in reconnection with your past. In remembrance of your loved ones that once walked with you on the surface of the earth.  A day that all vodouists dress up in Gede colors (Black, white, purple), and parade themselves to the cemetery where they depose flowers and special ritual foods on their ancestral tombs.  The Gede family is of a diverse lineage. They are Deities and can equally easily be the ancestor's loa.   The Gede spirits are originated from the Kongo. They dwell in the Petro rite. The Gedes hold dominion over life and death. For Gede, death is a passage that attributes to another life. That involved the cycle of eternity. They represent past, present and future. In the Gede Rites, the aspect of good and evil only refer to the hour of time.  As for Baron Kafou, Baron Lakwa, Baron Samedi, Bar...

The Goddess Ayizan Velekete Haitian Vodou Pantheon

Image
Gazing at Inside the peristyle, which showing the allure of a splendid arrangement and white cloths cover every bit of impunity. That also causes the reflections of a snowy blanket of winter snowflakes. A gentle breeze flows in, with a sense of serene; alerting ones to exhale and waiting for the divine arrival. Meanwhile, the persistence of the drumbeat is starting at a medium sound of yanvalou and twarig ò l. A variety of ritual songs from the rada rite consciously singing aloud; and kabalistic geometric signs trace on the air with the sacred gourd.  Abruptly, the breeze gets stronger and everybody has a sparkling glow in their eyes. Hearts pounding together with blood flow abyss. Their body swirl as if they were at the beginning stages of a trance. Equally they are splitting the ayizan branch, they commence to dance backward, sideways and circling around through the rhythm of the music.  The priestess that carries the ayizan, (Pa...
