DJ Hell - Guede (ARTBAT Rave Mix)

you know, it's not our fault, if they made a deal with the devil, and it didn't work out like they thought it would the, "Guede", (also spelled Gede or Ghede, pronounced ɡede in Haitian Creole are the family of Loa that embody the powers of death and fertility. Guédé spirits include Ghede Doubye, Ghede Linto, Ghede Loraj, Guédé Nibo and Guédé Ti Malis. All are known for the drum rhythm and dance called the "banda". In possession, they will drink or rub themselves with a mixture of clairin raw rum, and twenty-one habanero or goat peppers. Fête Ghede is celebrated on 2 November, All Souls' Day Festival of the Dead. Boons granted by the Ghede not repaid by this date will be avenged afterwards. Papa Ghede is the corpse of the first man who ever died. He is recognized as a short, dark man with a high hat on his head, who likes to smoke cheap cigars and eat apples. Papa Ghede is a psychopomp who waits at the crossroads to take souls into the afterlife. He is considered the good counterpart to Baron Samedi. If a child is dying, Papa Ghede is prayed to. It is believed that he will not take a life before its time, and that he will protect the little ones. Papa Ghede has a very crass sense of humor, a divine ability to read others' minds, and the ability to know everything that happens in the worlds of the living and the dead. Another version of this is Papa Gé from Once On This Island. Brave Ghede is the guardian and watchman of the graveyard. He keeps the dead souls in and the living souls out. He is sometimes considered an aspect of Nibo. Ghede Bábáco is Papa Ghede's less known brother and is also a psychopomp. His role is somewhat similar to that of Papa Ghede, but he doesn't have the special abilities of his brother. Ghede Nibo is a psychopomp, an intermediary between the living and the dead. He was the first person to die by violence, so he is the patron of those who died by unnatural causes disaster, accident, misadventure, or violence. He is the guardian of the graves of those who died prematurely, particularly those whose final resting place is unknown. His chevals horses, possessed devotees can give voice to the dead spirits whose bodies have not been found or that have not been reclaimed from "below the waters. Baron Kriminel Baron of Criminals is the enforcer of the Guede. He was the first person to kill another probably Nibo. As the first murderer, he is master of those who murder or use violence to harm others. Families of murder victims and the abused pray to him to get revenge on those who wronged them. His horses have an insatiable appetite and will attack people until they are offered food. If it doesn't please them or takes too long, they will bite and chew on anyone nearby or even themselves until they are sated. He is syncretised with St. Martin de Porres, perhaps because his feast day is November 3, the day after Fete Ghede. He is sacrificed black roosters that have been bound, doused with strong spirit, and then set alight. Grandma Brigitte Mother Bridget is the wife of Baron Samedi. She is syncretized with St. Brigit, perhaps because St. Brigit is the protector of crosses and gravestones) always get their bounty like all the ancestral spirits they must be honoured, and it just happens that its us they chose, to collect it for them as, standardz, hahahahahaha, :) #edio
