Baron Samedi is the ultimate suave and sophisticated spirit of Death - quite cultured and debonair. He has an existential philosophy about death, finding death's reason for being both humorous and absurd. Baron Samedi is the extreme expression of individuality, and offers to you the reminder of delighting in life's pleasures. Live happy and live well, for even the most rich and talented, or the most poor and resourceful people are not spared the ultimate universal experience - Death.

Here is a song about Ma'man Brigitte sung in Vodou ceremonies:

Haitian Creole -

Mesye la kwa avanse pou l we yo!
Maman Brigitte malad, li kouche sou do,
Pawol anpil pa leve le mo (les morts, Fr.)
Mare tet ou, mare vant ou, mare ren ou,
Yo prale we ki jan yap met a jenou.

English-

Gentlemen of the cross (deceased ancestors) advance for her to see them!
Maman Brigitte is sick, she lies down on her back,
A lot of talk won't raise the dead,
Tie up your head, tie up your belly, tie up your kidneys,
They will see how they will get down on their knees.
(Meaning, tie up your belly, 'gird up your loins' to prepare for the strain of work, we will make the people who did this evil spell get down on their
knees to beg pardon and receive their punishment.)

Trust me, she's one bad loa!

Let's face it, one of the most sought after spells on the internet today is the spell of revenge. We refer to these types of spells as hexes in New Orleans Voodoo. Other than love and money, the hex is the most fascinating and the most wicked.

From the perspective of contemporary Africa, magick done with malintent is considered to have its roots in unresolved anger, jealousy, and envy. Whereas positive, white magic has its foundation in love, malevolent, black magick has it's basis in anger. The major difference between the two types of magick lies in the intent of the practitioner. Where is your intention?

Here I am relaying an ancient hex spell. This is put here for entertainment and educational purposes only. If you should decide to use this spell against someone and it is not justified, don't come crying to me about it. In magick we are all subject to the law of three; that is, whatever you put out you get back threefold. You are not above this law! So, having been warned, here is one of the most powerful, easy, and coveted hexes you would ever want to know!

Dragon's Blood Hex

1. Wrap a piece of ginger root and a lime in a dracaena leaf. In the Solomon Islands, the dracaena is believed to have come from the grave of a sea spirit.
2. Lay the bundle in the path of your target.
3. When your target steps on or over it, distress will befall him or her.

To step it up a bit, you can use real dragon scales in the place of the dracaena. Also, the use of various aspects of the dragon as a means of powerful protection has been used since antiquity. Here's a picture of my dragon familiar, Zerk (he's smiling for the camera)! He comes from the African Savannah desert region. He happens to be shedding right now. Make me an offer that I can't refuse and I might sell you a few scales: voodoomama@mysticvoodoo.com.
