Carella ISBN 1-55634-300-0 is an excellent source for a wide variety of modern Voodoo beliefs (and also discusses some of the Western Hermetic traditions).Some things that I'd add about the greater loa:Damballa the snake loa is intrinsicly linked to Ayida-Wedo, his wife or female aspect. Damballa is a protector of humankind and bringer of knowledge.Obatala loa of purity, the mind and protection against hostile possession.Chango or Sango loa of lightning, volcanoes, and fire. The dark aspect of Chango is a loa of vengence and wrath.Orunla loa of divination and timeThe Iron Warrior is often called Oggun or Ogu and is depicted as a Napoleonic-era officer or an African warrior wearing red bandanasOchosi the hunter, also a healer and herbalist.There are two other Guedes besides Baron Samedi: Baron Cimetie and Captain Zombi. These other two are very similar to Samedi. These death loas are irreverant tricksters, and followers of them can be powerful enemies of the Corruptors.</blockquote>
