		Multiple possessions by the same loa are a common occurrence; once the loa is finished with one person and the possession ceases or is passed on through a twirling "handshake," the clothing and attributes are removed and passed on to the next person inhabited by the loa.

		The current structure of Loa is extremely difficult to understand in terms of the naming of entities because of the diverse backgrounds of the Haitian people.
		In a way, this meant that these Loa could be moulded together to form a system that could be accepted by the group as a whole.
		These differ from each other in the fact that the Rada were born out of a more peaceful environment, and hence are protective, guardian spirits, whereas the Petro Loa were born out of the harsh conditions of the people’s new habitat and situation, and tend to be representative of more aggressive action.

	Voodoo: In Nomine
		The Loa in question (the Rada Loa) were really just Archangels and Angels given the task of answering the specific ritual summonings, and perhaps guiding these devout worshippers in their quest for enlightenment.
		This is appropriate, as it was Kronos' job to oversee the development of the Petro Loa, and the ceremonies that would catch the attention of various demon princes in their Petro Loa personae.
		Furthermore, since the Petro loa, who are really just a bunch of Diabolicals seen through a different cultural template, have caused you to lose your moral perspective to this degree, they are more or less assured that when you die, you're going to Hell.

	Legba and Ghede, Loa of Vodun
		The Indian Zemi "connotes both the spirit of the dead, the soulless living and the fetish stone by which magic is accomplished." The word "zombie" comes from the Indian Zemi; so do the loa Simbi, patron of the rains, and Baron Samedi, Lord of the Cemetery and the Crossroads.
		Legba is a Rada loa that came from Dahomey; he is God of the Crossroads, and the connection between the universe and its divine origin.
		He is the first one saluted at all Loa ceremonies, and is considered to be the principle of life; the initial procreative whole.
