Papa Legba is a lwa in Haitian Vodou, Dominican Vodou, Winti, and Louisiana Voodoo, who serves as the intermediary between God and humanity. He stands at a spiritual crossroads and gives (or denies) permission to speak with the spirits of Guineé, and is believed to speak all human languages. In Haiti, he is the great elocutioner. Legba facilitates communication, speech, and understanding. He is commonly associated with dogs. Papa Legba is invoked at the beginning of every ceremony. Papa Legba has his origins in the historic West African kingdom of Dahomey, located within present-day Benin.

These collares are handmade, approximately 16" long, 32" by standard necklace measurement, (pattern dependent). If you would like another length, we are happy to accommodate!
