		Ghede, in the original myths of Haiti, was the god of love, sex incarnate.
		But the dance, which originally was a phallic ritual of birth, had now become a dance of death: Baron Samedi's orgies always ended (for his mortal followers) at the crossroads between this world and the Underworld, and the way they went was down.
		Because Ghede was Guardian of the Crossroads, he knew all the secrets of magic, and had second hearing and second sight.

	Ghede
		Ghede stands forever at the crossroads between the Life and Death, and is always depicted as a skeletal fl man, wearing a top hat and tails.
		Ghede's design uses the principles of bondage and discipline to remove choice from every arena where the existence of multiple choices is harmful, redundant, or simply unnecessary.
		Ghede will not engage in error recovery or coercion, because we feel that it leads to situations where it is necessary.

		Ghede may possess anyone, anytime, even Protestants (to their enormous embarassment and displeasure.) I have a woman friend in Haiti who one day was observing a group of women possessed by Ghede, cavorting and dancing the banda.
		The Ghedes are very much transitional figures, standing as they do between the living and the finality of death, between the ancestors in Gine and the living men and women of Haiti.
		The Ghede family, including their father and mother, Baron and Maman Brigitte, are absolutely notorious for their use of profanity and sexual terms.

		in one of ghede's adventures, he notices that every single person in haiti is poor except the president.
		And that they all dressed in the same outfit as him, would say that the Haitian people and Papa Ghede are in fact one and the same, and would garner fear and respect from the president.

	Descriptions of various loa of voodoo
		Ghede is neither delighted by eroticism, and certainly not shamed by it.
		Ghede is a clown, an interrupter, a coarse fellow.
		Lastly, since Ghede is the lord of death, he is also the last resort for healing since he must decide whether to accept the sick person into the dead or allow them to recover.

		GHEDE thinks he could dig out old medical encyclopedias with those seductive acetate pages that show a layer of the body at a time, and piled on top of one another make a whole person.
		GHEDE sees them with cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon balanced precariously-as if a scale of justice were weighing in each hand.
		GHEDE remembers years ago when Kreepy told him that the whole thing was like a mold -- mushroom sex; fungus; reproduction -- and then he mentioned Malthus in the same breath as if we carried around a tiny atlas in our heads with these obscure bits of drivel.

		The loa Ghede are often quite rowdy and raunchy, sprinkling their conversation with profanities and sexual innuendo.
		The Ghede's names all end in La Croix in honour of Baron and Maman Brigitte who reclaim the souls of the ancestors and make them into loa; both Baron and Maman Brigitte's symbol is the cross.
		Vodouisants possessed by the Ghede often dance suggestively (though without desire - it is a paradox that the Ghede represent both eroticism and death), drink strong spirits, and behave outrageously.

	Ghede from LiveJournal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I've been researching Samedi and the Ghede a lot for the past couple of weeks, and he's going to be a fascinating character to get into, a grim yet maniacal, foul-mouthed, sexually obsessed rum afficianado.
		Ghede, Called Samedi, Called La Croix, turned his perceptions inward into the mind he was possessing, the ever-present grin upon his lips as he looked upon the Changeing soul of Dr. Simone Jaquel, dressed...
		Papa Ghede I've done more research on, and he seems no more dark than the other spirits of voodoo culture; still, none of them are the most pleasant individuals.

		Maya Deren, writing in The Divine Horsemen, says that "Nothing will more quickly provoke Ghede's appearance and his defiant, overt obscenities than the presence of white visitors, particularly those of Puritan tradition."

		"Ghede is amused by the constant human eroticism and man's pretence that it isn't there," she continues.
