Ogoun
Ogoun, god of war, fire, and patron of blacksmiths, rides a white horse. In his role as military chief, Ogoun has also acquired a great deal of political knowledge; the council of the gods concerning the future of Haiti cannot begin without him.
The faithful of Ogoun believe they will be possessed by a "loa" during their rites. The "loa" displaces the soul of the devotee to their "gros-bon-ange" (great good angel), which will survive death and become one of Les Invisibles, the spirits.
