Herbal Power Workshop
with Loulou Prince
July 2007

The lwa Grand Bwa possessed many of the participants, and this is interpreted as a very good sign!


Hounsi Amel, a sweet and peaceful woman, suddenly became possessed. Her face became masculinized and she marched with vigor around the poto mitan or centerpost of the peristyle.



Mambo Andreli, the highest ranking Haitian woman in our house at this time, was stunned by the sudden mounting of Grand Bwa.



Grand Bwa in the head of hounsi Gina is guided by Loulou Prince.



Grand Bwa is a lwa of wildness, of freedom, of natural order. Here in the head of hounsi Gina, he clutches his leaves tightly to his chest, transmitting into them his sacred power.
