Vodoo

The spiritual realm of voodoo is remotely presided over by the Bon Dieu (meaning “Good God” and sometimes referred to as the creator). Within this spiritual realm, there are three classes of spirits which are collectively called “Les Invisibles” (the invisible ones). The three classes which the les invisibles break down into are the basic fundamental principles of voodoo which consist of: Les Morts (which are the collective dead), Les Marassu (the original twins from which the human race has evolved) and Les Mysta (also known as the mysteries; the Loa (lwa) or the Gods).

On the other hand, the gros bon ange is the double of the material body but is understood as the shadow as the shadow cast by the body and mind.
