Description:

In the religion of New Orleans Voodoo, we honor one God & a pantheon of Spirit Forces (New Orleans & Haitian Lwa, Native American Spirits, African Orisha, Catholic Saints & Others). Each Spirit Force rules over specific areas of human need & desire. 

Likened to St. Michael and St. Peter, Ellegua is the guardian and the opener of the crossroads. His colors are red and black. His favorite foods are corn, candy, and rum. 

New Orleans Voodoo practitioners place representations of Ellegua behind the front door of their home in order to clear their path, as well as to bring His protection.
