Weeelll, i think it's kinda obvious that i'm back into my old obsession with voodoo. I got so many obsessions that i tend to shove some of them aside for too long. It was about time to study some more. Voodoo has always been one of my obsessions, not only because it's part of Occultism, also because if freaking LOVE the Trolls from World of Warcraft. The way they talk and fight and bloody everything. So i couldn't help picturing my favorite characters as my favorite race in WoW.

I love drawing voodoo painting and tattoos, piercings and bones. Also i really like voodoodolls. I collect them myself and i have to admit, i really want a Atem Voodoodoll. I would snatch it if it weren't Bakuras and who knows what kind of curse he might put on me? I rather don't play with the fire and instead concentrate on drawing. I'm getting slowly better, only my lineart is pretty messy. I apologize for that. My scanner is very old, i'm glad it even does work. I am already about to get a better one and hopefully get the lineart cleaner then.

But apart from that i'd like to tell you about two Loas, which i wanted to give my Voodoo Characters. The first one belongs to Akefia.

Dumballah (Dumballah Wedo, Damballah): Known as the serpent god, he is one of the most popular.

Dumballah is the snake. He plunges into a basin of water which is built for him, or climbs up into a tree. Being both snake and aquatic deity, he haunts rivers, springs, and marshes. Dumballah is the serpent god, also lightning. He and his wife, Aida-Wedo, are often shown as two snakes who look as if they were diving into the sink and by a rainbow. He is the bringer of rain; this is a necessity for good crops. People possessed by him dart their tongues in and out, slither along the ground, and climb trees, or roof beams, falling like a boa. He is known to whistle because he has no speech. His special day is Thursday, and his favorite tree is the bougainvillea. White is his color. He is in charge of white metal (silver) and must be fed white food and drink. He grants riches and allows treasures to be discovered. Dumballah sustains the world and prevents it from disintegrating. Dumballah and his wife Ayida, represent human sexuality.

He is sometimes referred to as Da. Dumballah is often spoken of as a serpent. In the voodoo culture, the serpent is a symbol of fertility. He is one of the oldest of the ancestors and is so sacred that he doesn't speak, but expresses himself through hissing sounds, just like that of a serpent.

_{For Rp purposes i would change the image of the god a little though. ( Like i added the Ankh in its symbol etc. )}


Bakuras Loa is not as noble as Dumballah, yet it doesn't have to be. Seeming how Bakuras does not need luck during hunting, since he never hunts. He uses dark, corrupt magic to torture and kill enemies, without even having to get up from his place near the fireplace.


Kalfu (Carrefour, Kalfou):  Legba is twined with his Petro opposite. Kalfu too controls the crossroads. Actually, were it not for him the world would be more rational, a better place. But, not unlike Pandora in Greek religion and myth, Kalfu controls the evil forces of the spirit world. He allows the crossing of bad luck, deliberate destruction, misfortune, injustice.

Legba controls the positive spirits of the day. Kalfu controls the malevolent spirits of the night.

Yet Kalfu can control these evil spirits too. He is strong and tall, muscular. People do not speak in his presence. When he mounts a person everyone at the service stops speaking because he allows evil loa to come to the ceremony. He claims that most of the important loa know him and he collaborates with them. Kalfu says that some people claim he is a demon but he denies this. He is a respected loa and he is not liked much.

He is the grand master of charms and sorceries and is closely associated with black magic. Ceremonies are often held at the crossroads.The origin of darkness. The moon is his symbol. He can be placated, but is a very violent and dangerous loa.Kalfu is similar to Pandora in that he controls the gate comings and goings of bad spirits. He controls the off center points of the crossroads.

He has knowledge of the human condition and develops ways to help individuals cope with their problems. He has experience dealing with all kinds of people. Kalfu is a magician and likes to use tree leaves in his magic. He has the ability to change people into animals and then control their minds.


I am also going to add Mariku. But first i need to find a place for him in the tribe and a Loa he associates with. Maybe i add Ryou and Malik too. But this will come with time..
