Today at Voodoo Authenticawe were told a little bit about each Voodoo spirit. The one I found interesting
is La Sirene. She is married to Agwe. She is seen as the mother of the seas.
She is seen as a beautiful siren or mermaid. She is charming but also fierce and
powerful. She loves gold and jewels. Her colors are baby blue and white, her
symbols are starfish and sea shells. The
offerings people give to her include white rum, champagne, wine, fruits, and
desserts(there are other offerings as well) In Haiti there are folklores of her
taking people down to be her servants and them gain mystical knowledge. There
are different stories about how one becomes her servant. Rituals are performed by the sea and a raft
of offerings is sent out.For more information please see http://lasireneblog.blogspot.com/.
