Maman Brigitte Central America Symbols Necklace

Maman Brigitte is a death loa who rules over the Cemetery and the Spirit World. She is married to Baron Samedi and is worshipped and prayed to alongside him, particularly for fertility and health. The Baron and Brigitte are invoked on behalf of terminally sick children. Brigitte possesses extraordinary abilities and is not reliant on her spouse. She is an incarnation of Brigid, who was brought to Haiti by indentured slaves from Scotland and Ireland. She evolved in Haiti, became a lwa, and married the Baron; yet, songs written in her honor remind her that she was originally from Scotland. Madame Brigitte is associated with Mary Magdalen, whose picture might be used to symbolize her.
