[Nudité légère]
Mami wata est un vodou de la mer, une déesse à la fois séduisante, protectrice et redoutable. Changeante comme la mer, donc.
J'en ai peint une aquarelle originale disponible dans la boutique en ligne, avec son certificat d'authenticité et son passe-partout.

Today In Labor History April 7, 1804: Haitian general, Toussaint Louverture died on this day. He was one of the most prominent members of the Haitian revolution for independence from France. The slave revolt against the French began in 1791 with the call by Dutty Boukman, a vodou priest. Encouraged by the French and American revolutions. Louverture led 100,000 enslaved Haitians in revolt, winning their freedom in 1793. In 1804, Haiti became first free black republic in the world. The U.S. refused to recognize Haiti for the next 70 and France extracted millions in restitution, destroying any hope of ever moving out of deep poverty. Louverture was betrayed in the end and died in prison. For a fantastic history of the Haitian Revolution, read “The Black Jacobins,” by C.L.R.James.

It's the #DayOfAres / Mars' Day / #Tuesday! 
For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #BosouKoblamin is a violent #Loa in #HaitianVodou, capable of defeating his enemies. He is very popular during times of war. He protects his followers when they travel at night. #Bosou's appearance is that of a man with three horns representing strength, wildness, and violence. When a service is held, he is offered a pig, his favorite food.
It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! 
For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Sogbo or #Sobo is a lwo (spirit, god) in Haitian #Vodou with a flaming ram as is symbol. He is the #lwo of thunder and is always worshipped and depicted with his inseparable companion #Bade, who is the lwo of wind. Together they are represented by the #Catholic image of Saints Cosmas and Damian in the syncretic Haitian Vodou.
In many religions, the gods of death are sombre and even rather depressed. But Vodou's Baron Samedi and Maman Brigitte love to drink, smoke, tell filthy jokes, and generally party hard. It would be fun to imagine them throwing a wild party to get their fellow death gods to loosen up.

Nan Dòmi: An Initiate’s Journey Into Haitian Vodou by Mimerose Beaubrun; Madison Smartt Bell; D.J. Walker
Topics

Like all the great religions, Vodou has an external, public practice of rituals and ceremonies–and also an internal, mystical dimension. Before Nan Dòmi, works about Vodou have concentrated on the spectacular outward manifestations of Vodou observance–hypnotic drumming and chanting, frenetic dancing, fits of spirit possession. But practically all reports on Vodou are outsider accounts, which means that they are stopped at the threshold.
Mimerose Beaubrun, educated as an anthropologist, set out to write another such work, but in the process she met the woman who would become her ultimate teacher and guide to the religion’s internal mysteries: Tante Tansia, whose knowledge, wisdom and spiritual power govern the text of Nan Dòmi.

Le peuple haïtien, comme tous les peuples de la terre, a son propre univers spirituel, peuplé d'entités dont l'essence ne se laisse pas connaitre avec autant de facilité que les réalités matérielles. "La Légende des Loa du Vodou Haïtien" est un voyage à travers les péristyles du pays et des rencontres inespérées avec des initiés nous parlant de leur monde intime.
