Papa Gede Limbo Lakwa is represented by an image of St. Expedite. Today is St. Expedite’s Feast Day. Today, Caballos of the 21 Divisiones will serve Papa Gede Limbo Lakwa by giving him his food, his candles, his coffee, and his gin.

St. Expedite is known all over the world for his miraculous abilities to get things accomplished . . . . and quickly. He is world reknowned! He is also well known for his ability to shower money onto people. His ability to send other dead to an enemy, read one’s fortune, get people out of jail quickly and much more. It’s no suprise he is associated with Papa Gede.

If Papa Gede walks with you, don’t forget him tonite!

Gotta run myself . . . . got a Gede service to do.

During Djouba service, we also change the styles of dancing. In fact, Djouba dancing is very particular and specific to it’s nation. There is no way to confuse it with any other. During djouba, people graze their feet across the ground and hop. Some say this hop comes from native Taino spiritual dances.

In some Sosyetes, they play a special set of instruments for Kouzen Fetes.

Azaka is a farmer. Just like an old time farmer, Kouzen is constantly working. Thus he is known as a Lwa Travay. Many Houngans and Mambos work with Kouzen for their clients and to do consultations.

The Djouba nation, which he belongs to as well as leads, is served slightly differently. During a fete, at this time, the Houngan or Mambo will switch from Asson to Tcha Tcha and from white candle to bouji. . . . . . . . .

Keep up with the blog as we continue to discuss Kouzen Zaka

Kouzen Zaka is a Lwa of the Djouba nation. Many individuals, mistakenly, think that he is a Rada Lwa. Rather, he is actually a member of the Djouba nation. This nation holds the secrets and mysteries of the Indians, the Tainos and Arawak Indians indigenous to the island.

Djouba is served right after Rada and right before the Nagos.

Hello fellow bloggers,

I hope all is well.

Last week was an extremely busy week, with Holy Week finally over, people were practically running each other over to get into the badji first. Tuesday, when the Badji opened, I had consultations from 8am- past 10pm . . . . . and all week it continued.

Saturday, we did a ceremony for St. Claire. It was a small but beautiful ceremony. This ceremony was a ceremony of payment and thanks. The individual who commisioned the ceremony was paying Metres Klemezin for fullfilling some promises and resolving the issues in her life.

Spiritually, there was alot of force! It was a very spiritually charged up ceremony and we had a beautiful time. We had many visits including . . . .

Danbala, LaSirene, Ezili Freda, Bosou, Ogou Chango, Ogou Feray, Sen Jak, Anaisa Pye, Metres Klemezin, of course . . . . . Danto, Papa Guede and more. . .

Wishing you a happy year,
Houngan Hector
