Summary

Often depicted as an old man with a cane or crutches with a dog, the Lwa or entity known as Papa Legba is associated with the “Crossroads” and serves as an intermediary between man and the spirit world. Followers frequently invoke Papa Legba at the beginning of Voodoo ceremonies to facilitate communication with other Lwa to achieve their earthly and spiritual desires.

Joel starts by exploring what the Lwa or Loa actually are in the Voodoo Religion. He then looks at Papa Legba's origins and his connection to the fierce Dahomey Kingdom, which reigned over parts of West Africa with a fist of terror. Joel connects the Lwa and Nephilim spirits to the Voodoo rituals of Haiti and astral realm possessions. Joel ends with his own experience with what appeared to be Papa Legba and how much he has grown since his experiences with the occult in his past.
