Most images tend to honor the Iwa or spirits. The iconography of the Voodoo pantheon has influences from African, Carib Indian, and European cultures, especially the Catholic sainthood in TheLatinArts tradition. Since the French masters forbade voodoo during slavery, natives incorporated the images of the Catholic saints into their pantheon of deities so that they could continue worshipping their own gods. Many flag art images today are an interpretation of some voodoo belief mixed with Christian rituals and teachings.
