Ma'man Brigit
In Vodou, Ma'man Brigit (Grann Brigitte, Manman, Manman Brigit, Manman Brijit) is the mother of cemetaries, the loa of money and death, and the wife of Baron Samedi. She may be related to the "triple" Celtic goddess of poetry, smithcraft, and healing, Brigid/St. Brigit, as her name is Irish in origin. She is usually depicted as a white woman. The first woman's grave in a cemetery in Haiti is dedicated to her. Her colors are black, purple and white, her number is nine, and her particular days of service include Monday and Saturday. Her sacrificial animal is a black chicken. She drinks rum laced with hot peppers - "gaz lakrimojen Ayisyen" (Haitian tear gas), and like her husband and the rest of the Guede Spirits, she is a "potty mouth" and uses profanity. Ma'man Brigit will protect gravestones if they are marked properly with a cross. Ma'man Brigit is known to rub her private parts with hot peppers, and those who appear to be faking possession by her in a Vodou ceremony may be subjected to this test, which they obviously would not pass if their possession is not genuine. She is a very sexual dancer, and her skill in the banda dance is legendary.
Ma'man Brigit is invoked to cure those who are near death as a result of magick.
This Voodoo doll is constructed in the traditional New Orleans fashion out of Spanish moss and sticks, and adorned with vintage laces. She is wearing a necklace with a glass skull, made especially for the Mystic Voodoo by Bountiful Bonita. She stands on a flat stone. Her face is hand sculpted out of polymer clay and painted. Measures approximately 8.5 x 4 inches, and comes signed by the artist for authenticity.
