Loa refers to spirits or deities in the Vodou religion, primarily practiced in Haiti. These entities serve as intermediaries between humans and the supreme god, Bondye. Each Loa has distinct characteristics, personalities, and areas of influence, such as love, health, or agriculture. In Vodou rituals, practitioners may invoke a specific Loa to seek guidance or assistance. Offerings, songs, and dances are often used to honor these spirits, creating a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. The relationship with the Loa is central to the practice and beliefs of Vodou followers.
