 | | Damballah - a light/sound/computer- generated image or else represented creatively through red silk and other materials; Damballah, a Fertility God, an image of circularity, of never-ending spiritual rebirth; Damballah is one of the most powerful among the pantheon of African gods; unlike Christian theology, Damballah represents the necessity and triumph of knowledge to combat evil. |
 | | Maman - Marie's mother; she is also the ghost-woman of the dream sequences; Maman's presence is tangible in the dream sequences; in other scenes, she is a spiritual/intangible presence conveyed, in part, via yellow lighting - yellow, as in disease, cowardice, and decay. |
 | | Membé - She is the family ancestor, Damballah's chosen; a majestic, blank woman, wise and magical. |
