Handmade Haitian Voodoo Sequin Flag, Erzulie Veve, Voudou Drapeau 21.5"x24"

Who is Erzulie? The Goddess of Love! She is the most beloved Lwa (Loa) in the Voudou Pantheon and to whom our site is dedicated. As the female Lwa of love, sexuality, passion, pleasure and prosperity, Erzulie is quite powerful in fulfilling these desires. Described as one of the most beautiful Loas, she is notoriously vain, a touch lazy, has multiple lovers and prefers to receive lavish gifts of perfumes, sweet cakes, jewelry and flowers for her help with your requests. We’re told she likes to relax and paint her nails all day – how divine! She is the Lwa that can make most things possible with Love and Success; without her help, little can be accomplished, especially where relationships are concerned. All of our love spells are designed to obtain her assistance and in turn, thanking her with the appropriate offerings. Like with many Lwa, Erzulie has a darker side. She can be a bit of a drama Queen and enjoys encouraging fantasies; even if some are not realistic. In these cases, she can become very sad, emotional and bitterly disappointed; you can feel that way as well when working with her. Other aspects of Erzulie can include jealousy and anger, especially if ignored by someone when she is demanding their attention. This is why we must always please her and stay in her good graces should we seek her assistance. There are many aspects to the Erzulie’s collectively in our tradition which include Gran Erzulie, the Great Mother and Erzulie Danto, the fierce protective Warrior Lwa to name a few.

Veves of Voodoo
In Vodoun (Voodoo) practice, Veves are intricate symbols of the Loas (gods/spirits), and are used in rituals. They are similar to the sigils used in ritual magic. Each Loa has his or her own complex veve, which is traced on the ground with powdered eggshell or a similar substance prior to a ritual. The ability to draw a Veve correctly is considered to be a particular skill of the initiate. A veve is believed to be more powerful if it is drawn with the correct details.
