Description
The First among the Loa is Dhamballa, the male Creator, equal and Husband to Ayida. He was imagined as a huge white Snake, but can also emerge in human Form, but shows himself seldom. He was worshipped near holy Trees and Bathing-Ponds of the great Snakes. (What led to some Missing among the Disciples!;)
He changes his Location between Land and Sea and renews both in his wanderings. He forms the Clouds and the Weather and is able to change the Fate of Man from the Ground.
Since he does not speak, but communicates in Signs and Dream, his Believers needed Help of Voodoo-Priests to recognize his Advices. His Colors are Red and Blue, and to receive his Grace, You had to offer an Egg; If it crushes, the Offer was accepted.
Up to now, these were "White Loas", which help Man and are mercyful. We now turn to the "Black Loas", which are mighty, but evil and fierce. and demand Blood...

Oh, maybe now I understand why I thought badly of Voodoo: I must have been influenced by the Black side.
Obviously so! The evil Side of Voodoo is very strong and dark! Its quite different from other Believes in that the desparate People turned to dark Forces for Help regularily! Here we would call it Satanism! Better not dive to deep in this Matter!!! :/
Anywhere that you go on this what we call the Earth there is stories about a Creator is it there was one or do we hope that there is one is it that we as humans hope that there is something after death only with the death will one know the truth and then the answer we may or may not like
Well I am Agnostic, so I cannot tell whats right. But I would turn the Question of Existence Top to Bottom: If Mankind seems to need this soothing Believe so badly, it has a right to exist! :)
Yes, concerning the Afterlife we cannot tell, agree. But I have seen many dead People, and mostly they lookeed relaxed, surprised and relieved! ... I have a good feeling about Afterlife! :)
Awesome
Thank You for some Awe! ;)
Very beautiful imagery, shows his passing from land to sea well and his silent communication
Very Happy to hear that they pleased You! I fear the sharp Eye of the Photographer, but appreciate the smart and kind Comments! :)
