Papa Azaka Central America Symbols Adjustable Bracelet

In Haitian Vodou mythology, Azaka – Azacca or Papa Azaka is the loa of the harvest. The old and profound relationships between Earth and agricultural people are under his control. He is a divine being, as well as a prankster. He is kind, industrious, good-natured, and protective, but when he is hungry or feels mistreated, he can be harsh and vicious. Papa Azaka knows the soil's secrets. He is a great herbalist who appears in dreams to give advice and directions. His iconography is like that of Saint Isidore the Laborer, who likewise has a sack thrown over one shoulder.
