Baron Samedi is a lwa in Haitian Vodou. He is a powerful healer who is especially compassionate toward terminally ill youngsters. No one can die unless Baron Samedi gives his permission for their grave to be excavated. Baron Samedi is rude, lewd, and vulgar, yet he can also be just and compassionate. He can be petitioned for fertility as the spirit of the eternal life force. He is the keeper of ancestral information and the conduit to your ancestors' spirits.
