Baron Samedi
 Baron Samedi is one of the Guédés, or spirits of Death,
related to Baron Cimitère and Baron La Croix.
 Like Papa Legba, he is a guardian of the crossroads, the
place where spirits cross over into our world.
 If the intercessions desired are with the loa, then Legba is
saluted and asked to allow the loa to participate.
 If the intercessions are with the dead, then Guédé is the
intercessor
Obatala
 Obatala is the creator God, of whom all of the Orishas
are but aspects. His color is white, containing all the
colors of the rainbow.
 He rules the mind and intellect, cosmic equilibrium,
male and female.
 Obatala is the supreme deity of the
Yoruba pantheon, the great African
tradition from which much of New
Orleans Voodoo originates.

well as a warrior, hunter and fisherman.

reason, and is described as a beautiful,
wild hunter who wears skins.
Ogun

Metals, Politics, War, and the
