ERZULIE
The Voodoo love goddess, Erzulie is the goddess of elemental forces. She lives in fabulous luxury and appears powdered and perfumed. She is lavish with her love as with her gifts. On her fingers she wears three wedding rings, her three husbands being Damballah, the serpent god, Agwe, god of the sea and Ogoun the warrior hero. As Erzulie Ge-Rouge, she huddles together with her knees drawn up and her fists clenched, tears streaming from her eyes as she laments the shortness of life and the limitation of love.
