Behind the designs
Vèvè are sacred ritual drawings. Their details vary by house, lineage, and artist. These medallions are original game interpretations of documented forms, with simplified lines for the small pinheads. The pin actions are fictional gameplay.
Damballah Wedo and Ayida Wedo share the paired-serpent vèvè. Their pins use the same drawing with slightly different metal finishes. A heart distinguishes the Erzulie designs; Dantor’s also includes a dagger. Agwe’s sailing boat, Azaka’s cultivated field and farming tools, and Gran Bwa’s forest figure reflect their associations.
Louisiana Voodoo and Haitian Vodou have connected histories and distinct traditions. This collection focuses on Haitian lwa and vèvè within Voodooll’s fictional Louisiana bayou setting.
