Erzulie Freda Dahomey, the Rada aspect of Erzulie, is the spirit of love, beauty, jewelery, dancing, luxury, and flowers. She wears three wedding rings, one for each husband Damballa, Agwe and Ogoun. She is often represented by a heart symbol. Her colors are pink, blue, and gold. Coquettish and very fond of beauty and finery, Erzuile Freda is femininity and compassion embodied, yet she also has a darker side; she is seen as jealous and spoiled and within some vodoun circles is considered to be lazy. She is also often associated with gay men and lesbians. Other aspects include Erzulie Dantor, Grande Erzulie, who is seen as an old lady whom nobody loves anymore and Erzulie Ge-Rouge/Erzulie Red Eyes. |
