Lwa are spiritual beings in the Vodou religion, primarily practiced in Haiti. They serve as intermediaries between humans and the supreme deity, Bondye. Each lwa has distinct characteristics, personalities, and areas of influence, such as love, health, or agriculture. Devotees often seek their guidance and assistance through rituals and offerings. In Vodou ceremonies, lwa are invoked to possess a practitioner, allowing them to communicate directly with the spirit. This possession is seen as a way for the lwa to provide wisdom, healing, or support. The relationship between the lwa and their followers is central to the practice of Vodou.
