Mythology

Damballa is one of the most powerful Loa spirits in Haitian voodoo traditions. Known as the sky father, he is considered the primordial creator of all life. Often depicted as a black serpent, he is credited with forging the cosmos using his 7,000 coils to form the stars and planets into heavens.

Seen as patient, wise, and detached from the tribulations of daily human life, his presence brings peace. He’s also a romantic and is celebrated for being the lover of the goddess Erzulie (you know the vibes). Together their passion holds the key to the unity and rhythms of life.

He does not speak, but may whistle a song for you to enjoy.

Stop by and see if you can hear it.
