 The Prayer of Africa
In ceremonial order, songs to Ayizan, the mother of initiation and so of spiritual life, and Damballah Wedo, who with his female counterpart Ayida Wedo is the primal energy of the universe, are followed by verses for Agassou, the ancestral Houngan who has three hearts.
Therefore, in the next verse, Agassou is asked in song to "call Sobo", an ancient Dahomean lwa of thunder.
This depicts Agassou in the most essential role of the Houngan - a man who invokes, serves, and finally makes direct contact with divine power through the mechanism of possession.

In that tale, as Agassou recited it to the daughters of Dahomey, were all the virtues an Amazon might aspire to- generosity in peace, fearlessness in battle, wisdom in statecraft, the example of a great love and what miracles might come from it.
