loa
Haitian divine being
A loa is a spirit or deity in Vodou, the Haitian religion blending West African traditions with Catholicism.
Loas serve as intermediaries between humans and the supreme creator, each governing different aspects of life—love, death, war, healing.
Practitioners invite loas to possess them during rituals: The drums called the loa down into her body.
