About the Maryiaj Lwa 🌊💙⚓️ Welcome to the celebration! I’m so excited to share this special day with everyone who will be joining me for my Maryiaj Lwa with Agwe. A Maryiaj Lwa can be understood as a spiritual wedding ceremony honoring a Lwa. There will be many things that feel familiar from a traditional wedding: beautiful decorations, food, music, dancing, prayers, celebration, and gathering together with friends and family. The difference is that this ceremony is taking place within the traditions of Haitian Vodou, with Agwe being honored throughout the celebration. 🥁 Drumming & Celebration Drumming will be a major part of the ceremony. Our drummers will accompany the songs, prayers, dancing, and other ceremonial moments. Their music helps create the rhythm and atmosphere of the service, so supporting them is an important part of supporting the ceremony. If you are able to contribute to the drummers’ fund, it would be deeply appreciated. Every contribution counts, no matter how small. All money placed into the drummers’ fund will go directly toward compensating the drummers for their work and time. Thank you to everyone who is able to contribute. 🥁💙 🌊 Spirit Possession & Being Mounted One important thing guests should know is that people may become mounted during the ceremony. In Haitian Vodou, being mounted refers to a Lwa coming through a person who serves as the vessel during a ceremonial experience. You may see someone’s movements, voice, mannerisms, or presence change dramatically as the ceremony progresses. The drumming, singing, dancing, prayers, and spiritual energy of the ceremony can all be part of this experience. If you have never witnessed spirit possession before, please remember that what you are seeing is considered sacred and religious, not a performance for entertainment. If someone becomes mounted, please give them space and respect. Do not crowd them, touch them, attempt to speak to them as though nothing has happened, or take photographs or videos without permission. Follow the guidance of the Manbo and the people assisting with the ceremony. 💙 What to Expect Throughout the day, there will be food, decorations, drumming, singing, dancing, prayers, and fellowship. Some moments may be lively and joyful, while others may be quiet, serious, or deeply spiritual. Allow the ceremony to unfold naturally and respect the different moments as they come. You don’t need to know every song or prayer beforehand. If you’re unsure about what to do, simply watch, listen, and follow the guidance of those conducting the ceremony. Most importantly, come with respect, an open heart, and a willingness to celebrate. This is a meaningful spiritual occasion for me, and I’m incredibly grateful that you are choosing to witness and share it with me. Thank you for being here, for supporting the ceremony, for supporting our drummers, and for helping make this Maryiaj Lwa a beautiful celebration. Bienvenue nan Maryiaj Lwa mwen an. Se pou Agwe mache avèk nou. 🌊⚓️💙
