		The most historically important Vodou ceremony in Haitian history was the Bwa Kayiman or Bois Caïman ceremony of August 1791 that began the Haitian Revolution, in which the spirit Ezili Dantor possessed a priestess and received a fl pig as an offering, and all those present pledged themselves to the fight for freedom.
		For instance, "Ezili" is a family, Ezili Dantor and Ezili Freda are two individual spirits in that family.
		The Ogou family are soldiers, the Ezili govern the feminine spheres of life, the Azaka govern agriculture, the Ghede govern the sphere of death and fertility.

		It is said that Ezili Dantor had her tongue cut out as punishment for participating in the Haitian slave revolution.
		As we saw in the passage quoted above, Ezili Dantor supplies the emotional tone and general context of her communications through body language and by varying the pitch and rhythm of the "d@-d@." Yet, the community, individually and collectively, actually supplies the specific content.
		Dantor's cross-rhythms, in this case played out as soothing approval (rubbing the pregnant woman's belly) and forceful discipline (grabbing her by the hair), echoed through the room creating a variety of meanings as they combined with the cross-rhythms of different life contexts.

		A reassurance that even the unbelievers, the high and the mighty in their glass towers were not beyond the reach of this Voudou, the veritable wrath of the spirits and I fancy, the candles burned more brightly in the city's shrines of the thought of it.
