What are the best resources to study Erzulie, her practices and the veve's associated with her? I'd like to read more about Freda and D'anto, and get a better sense of how they differ. For instance, this veve of Freda is the only of it's specific type I can find on the internet. Is this authentic? There are many others out there. I'd like to hear more about the geometries and process of drawing veve's (does order matter? must you always draw the veve the exact same way?). I'm not a practitioner, nor do I seek to replicate any aspect of the veve. I am so used to reading about sacred geometries in the abrahamic and hindu practices, but rarely do we hear much about Haitian veve and the significance of its composition.
Any resources or references would be so welcome!

Hello, everyone! I was just curious concerning the differences between Freda and Anaisa. I understand that they like different colors and offerings and have different saint imagery, but what are the personality/behavioral differences between them? Given the fact that they both dispense a lot of the same blessings and favors (wealth, love, happiness, good luck, success etc....) What would be the difference between them in this regard? Why would a person go to Freda as opposed to Anaisa and vice versa? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey yall, I bought an extra 2 tickets that I don't need anymore. Happy to sell for what I paid minus the fees (so $30 flat for the pair). I will be at the show as well, happy to use Paypal or any other service you feel comfortable with.
Was at the NYC show last week, can prove with pics/videos I'm a fan not a scammer. Lmk.
Two Questions:
What is the vodou community's feelings about Erzulie's Voodoo and using them as a spellcaster?
How effective is a newbie using a spell kit versus a trainer practitioner? I know there is no stat that can be given, but I'm wondering how it compares in theory. The newcomber would have no established relationship with the established spirits.
So, is it an all or nothing deal, where I can either cheat it and sacrifice nothing, or sacrifice everything? Or can I pick & choose?
Because my preference would be to sacrifice everything except my profession, because the character is referred to as a Doctor _______ and the OCD part of my brain prefers that he actually be a doctor.
Hey Filmmakers,
My name is Camille Gladney: I'm a filmmaker and dyed-in-the-scale mermaid fan. Like many of us, I grew up with mermaid role models like those in Splash and Disney's The Little Mermaid, and they were awesomely inspirational, but since those decades past, there have been VERY FEW new mermaid stories in film or television. Enter director Christine Chen, who commissioned me last fall to write a script with her for a different kind of mermaid tale, the kind you've never seen before! I'd love to tell you all about our movie, ERZULIE.

ERZULIE is a fantasy thriller about four friends and trauma survivors who reunite at the South Louisiana camp where they first bonded, only to discover their companion and former counselor Wendy is at the end of her rope and willing to try desperate measures to get her life back on track, including summoning the fierce Water Goddess Erzulie, who will stop at nothing short of murder to protect them.
Our Mermaid is inspired by Erzulie Dantor, the Haitian Lwa, who is traditionally believed to favor those who have suffered an injustice, especially women and children.
We are exploring neo-noir themes of The Woman Scorned and the Femme Fatale, in a cinematic style akin to Blade Runner and Drive. Think neon grunge, and women-driven ensemble films/TV like The Craft, Charmed, and more.
It's a movie full driven by Girl Power, both in front of and behind the camera! It's a fun-filled fantasy that's a little on the spooky side too, perfect for watching with your pals this Halloween!
Team Erzulie is swimming to shore THIS SPRING and we need help spreading the word and the love for a loaves and ~fishes~ kind of miracle.
You want to see this movie. We want to make it! Let's put our heads together and give this mermaid her legs!

Title says it all. I'm not a mountain biker but I had a used Erzulie for my daily use years ago and loved how sturdy and solid it felt without slowing me down. Is this a quality all mountain bikes will have? I'd love to get a bike just like it, but I don't know enough to know what I'm looking for, what price ranges are, etc. I got the used bike for under $500... but i'm open to going higher.
Hello, everyone! I just have a question pertaining to spirits in both 21 Divisions and Haitian Vodou, specifically Erzulie Freda. Are Erzulie Freda and Metresili the same spirit? I've come across practitioners who say they are, some say they are not. What are some of your opinions? If they are different spirits, what are the exact differences? If they are the same, then does the spirit care about which tradition you serve her by? Thoughts?
I've only ever been moved to tears by one other book (The Perks of Being a Wallflower). Ever since I finished The House of Erzulie the other day, I can't stop thinking about it. I've always been more of a book hoarder than a reader but I'm glad I decided to spend Spooky Season doing some reading.
I've never felt so passionate about a book before.

###Erzulie
###Description:
Pantheon: Vodoo
Type: Mage
Goddess of: Love, health, beauty, homosexuals, passion, prosperity, perfumes, jewelry, and flowers
Sacrifices: Sweets, jewellery, perfume, black pighs, blood, and rum
###Lore:
Erzulie, the african spirit of love, has two sides. One side of her is a nice and compassionate, while on the flipside she is seen as jealous and spoiled. Being a fierce protector of the women and children, Erzulie tries her best to help society.
###Kit:
Passive - Fearless protector:
This passive works for her lore, in which she is a protector of neglected. With this passive she is able to support the falling behind ally, and give him a way of getting out of the placement he found himself in.
Being a protector of the neglected, Erzulie gives additional 50 Magical and 30 Physical power to the lowest level ally. She also provides bonus XP upon killing an enemy (20% total). If two allies share the spot, she will give power boost to the one with the less HP. She can't apply this buff onto herself. Additionaly, she is soulbound to that ally, giving her additional effects depending on that ally.
Ability 1 - Enrage:
This ability allows Erzulie to represent her 2 phazes in her lore, being a chaotic deity and a loving feminist. She is also able to further support the ally that is falling behind.
Passive: If your ally that you are soulbound to dies, all of your abilities switch to give Chaos additional effects. However, if the soulbound ally kills someone, your abilities switch to give Love additional effects. Additionally, that ally's respawn time upon death is reduced by 1/2/4/8/10 seconds, or, if the ally gets a kill, he gets healed for 5/10/15/20/25% of his max HP.
Ability 2 - Blood Pact:
This ability is a lot like Freya's banish, only with a charge and a damage upon landing. Her Chaos stance allows her to multiply that damage, however adding to the complexity of using Beads in this ability. Her Love stance allows her to massively heal her team if she hits the ability at the right moment.
Erzulie creates a circle in front of her that charges for 2 seconds. When the circle is done with charging, all allies that are inside will get Banished for 3 seconds while an effect is applied to them. If they hit the ground with the effect applied they will get hit for 50/100/150/200/250 (+40% of her magical power). If you use Purification to escape the banish you are still cou

Years came and went for our protagonist. They set behind a computer screen typing away and filing documents. Numbers often considered the screens and reports often flooded their hours. The work was dull, but the pay wasn't half bad... Our protagonist could afford a few simple luxuries, but strangely enough they found themselves investing more into charities and other public goods. And for many years the protagonist would be...content with this existence. On a day not to just similar from any other day our protagonist would enjoy a simple meal. A nice chocolate powdered churro was the final nicety before their lunch break ended. Our protagonist had been alone in lunch, seated on 4th floor benches...and thus when they began to chock on there final dessert...no one was there to answer.

she started being careful with her food, for one she didn't want to be known as the cook who ensures quest success, but she would have the waiters inquire about any new quests that they were participating in. of course, with the large kitchen, she started uping standards, having staff help clean out the place top to bottom and readying certain meats and sauces for marination or smoking overnight. she also had claudia let her handle the food costs, given the menu store has a much cheaper cost then any of the local markets, she would effectively cut the places operating costs to help spur on such unprecedented growth. her main goal was to leave the place in a spot where she would only have to come around once every so often to change out the recipes and ensure proper standards were being enforced.

I worked very hard on this, lots of speculation and 2-3 hours of research. I understand a lot of these will be very powerful, maybe even broken.
