The Message Heard Around The World
Everyone better be on edge for a big reveal. Also just love that Kaya knows him due to her interest in medicine. Love that girl. Also love his homeland recognizes his genius. But in my opinion, when the news gets out he was killed it will devastate them and I hope they don't get bustercalled by the government.

I have done prettier altars before, but this year's distinguishing feature is how maximalist the set up is and how I am literally running out of space on the mantle to put his stuff.
#said stuff including: big drinking jar of wine#an entire pound cake#etc etc#where am i even gonna put the fish#i haven't poured him any of the piman yet#(that being the impossible to actually drink booze)

Good afternoon, I want to thank you for share your knowledge and for your time. Can you please help me with some information about Demple lacroix, how to serve him, with Saint represents him, colors or wherever you can share. Thank you again
Hi there,
So, the Lakwa family is deep, wide, and full of Gede that may or may not appear in the broader regleman of the religion. It's not unusual for there to be Gede specific to a lakou or lineage, or even a region.
I'm not familiar with the this particular Gede. Did autocorrect maybe butcher the name?
All Gede are different and want different things. Piman is a good basic Gede drink, but not all Gede will accept it (and even get offended if offered!) Most Gede will accept black, white, and purple, but that can also vary. There are lots of different saints for Gede as well. Gede service depends on where you are from and how you have been taught.
If the name was reflected incorrectly, feel free to send another message and I'll see if I can help more.

MAMAN DE LA VIE [1][2][3]
Aliases: Maman de la Vie Maman The Queen of the Cemetery
Real Identity: The goddess of Life
Species: A goddess
Gender: Female
Age: Over 13.7 billion years
Relationships: Bon Dieu (Creator) Grandmother Serpent (âsiblingâ) Lady Rose (âsiblingâ) Lady Love (âsiblingâ) Baron de la Mort (âsiblingâ, husband) Ironman (âsiblingâ) The Doorkeeper (âsiblingâ) Port-au-Prince (adoptive son) Miragoâne (adoptive child) Fort-LibertĂŠ (adoptive child) JĂŠrĂŠmie (adoptive child) Jacmel (adoptive child) Port-de-Paix (adoptive child) Cap-HaĂŻtien (adoptive child) Les Cayes (adoptive child) Hinche (adoptive child) GonaĂŻves (adoptive son) Lavi (underling)
INTRODUCTION
Maman de la Vie, or simply Maman, is the morbid Queen of the Cemetery and Mother of the Gede. The fourth-born child of Bon Dieu, she was created shortly before her husband to rule over the Dead.Â
Her real identity is the human woman who married the most notorious criminal from the Western hemisphere.
APPEARANCE
Maman de la Vie is a stately older woman, dressed in purple and black garments. Her style is macabre, with a preference for black nail polish and jewelry. Skulls, bones, and cadavers are her favorite accessories.
Like her husband, Maman tattoos her skin black, with a detailed skull pattern marked into her face, and skeletal markings all across her body. As she is not made of flesh and blood, she could shapeshift the pattern of the skull however she pleased, but never displays this ability. When she so chooses, she transforms her entire body into a skeleton.Â
Unlike her husband, Maman chose not to de-age herself back to her sexual prime. Although she is chronologically the youngest, she is physically and mentally the oldest of her sisters. Her facial structure is also distinct from the twins, where she has hooded eyes and unique facial proportions. Compared to them, she is heavyset and towers over them. This is no petite woman.Â
Maman de la Vie is very tall and imposing. Normally, she wears high heels, which makes her only about half a head shorter than her husband. Her silhouette forms a plus-sized hourglass, looming from the ground like a dark purple shadow. Rather than walking, she often teleports from place to place, leaving trails of ominous black smoke. Any ordinary attacks phase through her, as if she was made out of dark purple smoke. Her presence commands respect, but exudes a maternal love towards her adoptive children.Â
Her magic is purple in color.
PERSONALITY
As the Queen of the Cemetery, Maman de la Vie delights in all that is dreadful, ruling with her husband over departed souls. She speaks in a commanding voice, where she sounds like a villainess without actually being one.Â
Maman has a morbid sense of humor, and a unique sort of ghastly charm. She adopted a brood of deceased children called the âGedeâ, who she loves dearly. Her children affectionately refer to her as âMamanâ and dwell alongside her in a zone outside of Heaven, Hell, or Earth, called The Underworld.Â
When she wants to be, Maman de la Vie is about as frightening as her husband. Much like him, an effect is laid over her voice to convey her power and intimidation factor.Â
Maman is fluent in Kreyòl, and would ideally be voiced by a Haitian voice actress. She does not have a youthful voice, but sounds like a mature woman.
She drinks pimanâkleren steeped in hot peppers.
ABILITIES
In addition to all of a godâs core abilities, Maman de la Vie possesses the following powersets:
WEAK POWERSET
Maman de la Vie can heal any physical injury. Nobody lives until Maman gives them life; she can kill someone by refusing to heal them.
Purple magic is merely the inverse of black magic, except for one special feature. Barring this exception, they can be understood as the same powerset, one assigned a positive value, and the other assigned a negative. Being gods, the wielders of purple or black magic can switch between positive and negative values.
In other words, Maman de la Vie has almost the exact same power as her husband can do. She can do everything Baron de la Mort can do, except go BERSERK.
STRONG POWERSET
Maman de la Vie has the highest DEFENSE of any god. She has INFINITE healing on herself at all times, and cannot be killed. Her healing abilities are completely passiveâthey are immediately activated at the start of a fight, and cost nothing to sustain.
In addition to herself, she can use her godly healing powers on any other being. As long as she is alive, she uses this power on her husband to give him INFINITE healing.
When fused together, she and her husband become the most powerful entity in existence. Itâs a literal power couple.
HISTORY
In her past human life, Maman de la Vie was born In another universe, as the daughter of an impoverished Haitian family. In spite of her humble origins, she always carried herself with dignified, regal air. A cunning, intelligent, and strong-willed woman, she held high standards for her future husband, flatly refusing to marry someone who was not worth her time. Although men tend to mature slower than women, the man she would eventually fall in love with was actually younger than her by several years. In spite of his age, he seemed to have matured faster than his peers. Underneath his outward charms was an exceptionally shrewd man and forward-thinking man. While they were romantically and sexually attracted to each other, the true reason they married each other is because they were intellectual equals. He married her for her wisdom and intelligence; she married him because he was the only one who met her high standards.
Her husband was fated to become the King of Haitiâs âUnderground Governmentââa ruthless gang lord who pulled the strings of the âAbove Ground Governmentâ. In his rise to power, he brought death across the Caribbean and Americas, executing anyone who threatened his master plan. So brutal and wicked in his methods, he surely would have gone to Hellâwere it not for his wife. The woman behind the man, she was by his side for his entire criminal career. In their early years, she played an active role in his dangerous activities, and used her charisma to forge crucial alliances. She served not just as his assistant and consultant, but as his moral compass. When he was about to issue an order that was a little too barbaric, she would convince him to reconsider. At many critical points in his life, she convinced him to use his power for the purpose of good. Moreover, she and their children were a constant reminder of what he was fighting for. It goes without saying, she was an excellent mother to his children, who were their parents' pride and joy. For this reason, he never lost sight of his goals, never falling victim to the sins of pride or the madness of power.Â
In the end, she and her husband were assassinated before their plans could be seen to fruition. Without his wife, the Criminal King of Haiti would have been another evil, ruthless man, thrown into Hell along with all the others. For this reason, Bon Dieu saw it fit to not just make him The god of Death, but her The Queen of the Cemetery.
Now immortal, divine beings, the two were stripped of the memory of their past lives, but occasionally get flashes of it in a process similar to dreaming. Without realizing it, Maman de la Vie assumed a form that resembles how her past human self appeared when she died â a middle-aged woman with a large family, who lived long enough to see the birth of her grandchildren.Â
The couple isnât sure whether they used to be humans, but often speculates about it.
RELATIONSHIPS
BARON DE LA MORT
On the Third Day of Creation, Bon Dieu created The goddess of Life â a beautiful, older woman, dressed in soft lavender and bright-colored fabrics. Where her sisters sang with frivolity, Maman de la Vie sat by herself somberly, for she was lonely and desired a mate.Â
To cure her of her loneliness, Bon Dieu created a mate for her on the following day. Her mate, a giant skeleton dressed in black, with an evil laugh and mastery over the torture of human souls. The goddess of Life was so over-the-moon, she completely changed her style to match her new-found husband, who she immediately married. Ever since then, she has been the morbid Queen of the Cemetery.Â
Since the Beginning of Time, their love has not wavered once. As The Baron is tasked with delivering souls to their Final Destination, Maman is often seen ruling over The Underworld as its de-facto Leader.
THE DOORKEEPER
Aside from her husband, The Doorkeeper is the only one who understands her morbid sense of humor.
GONAĂVES
Her oldest and most powerful adoptive son. Because he wields a fraction of her and her husbandâs powers, he is extremely powerful, but completely debauched and prone to buffoonery.
Even though he is a whole ass clown, his mother knows she can rely on him when matters get serious. On some level, he reminds her of her firstborn son from her past life.
PORT-AU-PRINCE
He is her youngest adoptive son, who she is very proud of. Somehow, he reminds her of a child she had in her previous life.
LAVI
Her underling.
She owns her soul.

So, there's this achievement in HoloCure called Tank Class. It requires you to reach a maximum HP of 500, in a game where base HP values usually range from 60-75 and HP don't automatically increase as you level up or something. You can start with extra max HP from a few sources, but most of that HP needs to come from items or the stat bonuses you get when you run out of item slots. Most of the latter are for useless stats like damage or attack speed, though.
I've given it a couple of shots with Kiara (who has 90 base HP), and the second got painfully close.
HoloCure players are probably impressed by that time. After all, starting at 30 minutes, those creepy head things start spawning. They deal less damage than most enemies, but they're faster, more numerous, have more health than most bosses, and their stats rapidly increase as the timer ticks on. And I survived a full ten minutes of that...mostly by running away. I could barely defeat any of them after the first few minutes. The lab coat's passive XP generation meant I could pull together a few more levels, but traditional "beast enemies up to get XP drops" leveling was close to nil.
Still, on the bright side, I basically doubled my Endless Mode high score. Nowhere near the 99th place I'd need to get on a leaderboard, but hey.
So, notes for future improvement.
Aside from the Super Knightly Milk (which under optimal circumstances would have a 3% chance of dropping at some point, with no possible player influence), the only items that increase max HP are the Piki Piki Piman, Just Bandage, and Jingisukan super collab (spider cooking + elite lava + uber sheep). The latter increases MHP almost twice as much as the first two combined, so it's essential. Not that the other two are good to avoid.
Don't worry too much about whether you can kill the YAGOO heads. You can't. Save your special for when the revive might be handy. Also, the stamp that reduces damage while letting you run faster might have finally found an edge case where it's useful!
For that same reason, it's not worth making 2-3 more collabs after the Jingisukan, since each delays the stat-ups for another seven levels. Maybe don't make any after the Elite Cooking.
Likewise, avoid items which take five levels to max out, and try to pick up both the Face Mask and the Full Meal (which don't level at all after being collected). The fewer levels required to max everything out, the more chances to pick up HP bonuses.
Researcher's Coat is necessary if you want to keep leveling after 30 minutes. The Study Glasses probably give enough bonus XP to justify picking them, even if you don't get them until mid-game; think of it as balancing out the two extra levels you need to max them out compared to a 5-level item, not the five it takes to level them up. This achievement will be won or not from levels gained after maxing out everything, not total level.
In case Future Me forgets to count items: Face Mask, Full Meal, Just Bandage, PPP, Researcher's Coat, Study Glasses, Uber Sheep. Once the Uber Sheep gets cooked into the Jingisukan, that's six items for the six item slots. The bandage, sheep, and PPP are top priority, but the rest are spoken for. Eliminate all other items, especially 5-level items.
Try to avoid rerolling before everything's maxed. Save them all for rerolling stats to HP, if you can.
Hopefully you won't have to run from the YAGOO heads for ten minutes to reach 500 HP next time. Especially if you reach Gachikoi with Kiara.

Hey! Anon who said about the economy of the Inca and stuff!
Sorry if the message came out wrong, I didnât mean to dismiss the pre-Inca cultures, really sorry about that :(. I meant the last one when the conquistadores came and conquered the land. I always forget the names, sorry :/. Iâll look into that further.
Also, I didnât know Inca was used for both singular and plural. I always heard the S being included when talked about them in plural, at least in Lima-Peru Spanish, that or I just heard it wrong my entire life holy fuck.
Oh! Almost forgot to ask, are there languages like Quechua in Mexico to this day? Like, are they still taught and talked or?
Oh it's okay! I don't think it's common knowledge? I didn't get taught about it in school at least and I'm in the US. It learned about it for my anthro/archaeology classes.
For the singluar vs plural thing, it might depend on region? I was taught that it was Inca, but it can also be spelled as Inka as well. It might be Incas in Lima, Peru, but I wouldn't know myself. It might be case of referring to the empire equals Inca but the peoples are Incas.
For the language, Quechua is an indigenous language family that originated in South America in Peru and the surrounding countries. It gets confused with the Quechan/Yuma tribe of Arizona, but they are different! I don't know much about it, but it's also referred to as Runasimi and is either one of or the most spoken pre-Columbian language family in the Americas. Technically there are a few different languages within Quechua, think of Quechua like this: Quechua languages equals Romance languages, and it's variates such as Lima equals Spanish or Italian.
From what I could gather, it mostly remains a spoken language, but is one of Peru's, Bolivia's, and Ecuador's official languages, as well as intergraded with bilingual education. In the Andean region, as with other indigenous languages, it has been intermixed with Spanish and Spanish as a dialact is distinct there because of this! These are called loanwords, where words from one language are adopted into another. For Quechua, wawa (infant), misi (cat), waska (strap or thrashing) are common words used instead of their Spanish counterparts bebe, gato, paliza. This is a common thing with most languages, but it's very cool.
For Mexico, the family of languages is entirely different as they're made of up completely different indigenous people! In Western United States and Mexico, most people are familiar with Uto-Aztecan languages and the Mayan languages in Southern Mexico. The Uto-Aztecan languages include over 30 languages such as Hopi, Nahuan, Cupan, Piman, and I couldn't possibly name them all! There are so many of them! For the Mayan languages, it's smaller but one of the best documented ones! They include the Yucatecan branch and the Huastecan branch in Mexico, but there are more in Guatemala, which is also where the Maya empire resided.
Quite a few of these languages are still alive and mostly well, they obviously suffered due to conquest, but are efforts to preserve the language and teach it, though I believe it's mostly at a local level and not national. Mexico isn't very nice to their indigenous peoples from what I'm aware, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak on the subject unfortunately, so I don't want to say too much about it without more research.

Day Twenty-Six, Part One: A Day in Bangkok
Iâve got to admit that, even after nearly four weeks of travel in four different countries, Bangkok could still overwhelm me. Thereâs only one word for the places we went today: breathtaking. Every time you turn around, thereâs a scene thatâs even more spectacular than the last. Neither my words nor my photographs will, Iâm sure, do the city justice, but it is undoubtedly a place like nowhere else on earth. No wonder Jim Thompson took up residence here.
To begin with, you have to understand that Bangkok isnât the real name of the city. The real name (and Iâm not making it up) is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit. When my guide, Rich, pronounced it, it almost sounded as though he were singing a pop song. Of course, if you only had a four-week vacation, and you said that one of the places you wanted to go was Krung Threp etc. (or, in honor of Yul Brynner, âEtc., etc., etc.â), your four weeks would be up, and you wouldnât even have left the travel agency yet. So, Bangkok (meaning âThe Village of Wild Plumsâ) is a useful nickname.
Our first stop of the day was the Grand Palace, a place that almost redefines the meaning of both grand and palace.
Rather than a single building, the Grand Palace is an entire complex of buildings in white, gold, and a host of other colors that manage to be impressive without the âOh, come on, now,â overdone nature of the White Palace at Chiang Rai.
Around one portico is a series of 178 scenes, recently restored, from the Ramayana. Here, for example, is an image of the monkey army pledging its loyalty to Rama.
Demon figures guard certain doorways.
The quality of the carving and painting is exquisite.
A large gold stupa stands surrounded by smaller stupas, each of which is impressive by itself.
Around each corner is another phenomenal building, such as this one
and this one.
Golden Naga snakes lead up to gold inlaid doors.
On one wall, in another scene from the Ramayana, the monkey king, Hanuman, pursues the mermaid, Suvannamacha. (This story would become important again later in the afternoon when we saw it re-enacted at a dance recital.)

Random fact for the day, what you and most people outside Thailand know as the city called Bangkok, actually has an official name that is quite different and longer than name we have come to know.
The official name for Bangkok is Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.
For official government purposes though, they only use the first four word Krung Thep Maha Nakhon.
Do you think you could remember all of that đ

Besides the fiery smell of piman and peppers, what are colognes and scents that the Gede?
Gede likes a lot of stuff, and it kind of depends on the Gede. Florida Water and cigarette smoke are big ones, but it gets down to preferences. I have a Gede who wants Pompeia Lotion, Rev D'Or, expensive perfume, and champagne. I have another who knocked the bottle of piman off the table and told me how to make his bottle the way he wanted it.
It depends a lot on relationships. You have the basic foundation, so more than that really relies on the relationships Gede builds with you. Many houngans and manbos end up with personal Gede that have very specific requests, and sometimes that happens for servitors too!

Voodoo Q&A
Anonymous asked:
If someone is visited by both an Orisha and a Lwa is there any meaning to it? Hi, not much. Spirits they tend to wander around sometimes and pop up in random places, doesn't matter if someone has ether have or has had connection with them.
It really requires reading with the appropriate priests. For some, a random encounter doesn't mean anything without other evidence with it. For others, a encounter could be a beginning of something new. The best thing is to are to get readings from legitimate, verified priests of that religion. Hope this helps!
Anonymous asked:
Can Baron La Croix be on my head?
Hi, One must passed through some kind of ceremony done by a houngan or manbo/ priest or priestess of your in Louisiana. It's the only way to find out which particular lwa owns your head.
It can't be determined by spiritualists outside the religion.
But all of the Barons are aspects of death and putting death on someone's head because it's believed it can invite that person to enter death quickly.
We would want that. The Bawons and various Gede are not put on heads or named as the met tet because we don't want people to die before God says it's time.
After the reading the ceremonies that assign them as your master of the head are ceremonies of life. So death wont have no place in it.
Barons or Gede sometimes do.show them selves or want to help someone, but there not allowed to be presence so they certainly wouldn't be a Met Tet.
Anonymous asked:
How can I serve the Gede? All Gede are different and want different things. Piman is a good basic Gede drink, but not all Gede will likes it. Most Gede will accept black, white, and purple colors, but that can also vary on tradition. Candles, black or purple is what I use, cigars, rum I give them baked bead is sometimes put out as a offering. It was done at the fet I was at.
The Saint? There are lots of different Saints for Gede as well. Gede service depends on where you are from and how you have been taught. But St Gerard Majella is a good saint for most Gede in general!
