For the Macy's Fireworks performance, Luke wore a mesh, tattoo-print top by House of Aama ($390), under a blue velvet suit.

'The collection “SALT WATER” is inspired by the seafaring legacy and Black resort communities that flourished in the US in the early 1900’s. House of Aama’s SS’22 collection highlights Camp Aama, a fictionalized Black resort community, Black sailors and the water spirits of Yemaya, Olokun and Agwe that have served as spiritual anchors of African traditions in the diaspora. “Salt Water” as a term is an ode to the Africans who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and survived the middle passage to the Americas.'

The Loa, Part 1, for Shadowrun (1st Edition)

Often misnamed the “voodoo gods”, the loa (lwa) are closer to saints or angels, acting as intermediate spirits from humanity and the Creator: Bondyé (from the French Bon Dieu, or Good God). In Haitian vodou, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of loa, but for game purposes, only 8 are detailed.

Auga – loa of the storm. More powers than both an Air Elemental and a Storm Spirit. Kind of a mixture of Raiden and Storm.

Agwé – loa of the sea. Similar powers to a Sea Spirit.

The veve of Agwé

Samedi – loa of death. Aka Baron Samedi, aka, probably the only loa you’ve heard of.

Baron Samedi is French for “Baron Saturday”, for those working for the weekend.

The veve of Baron Samedi

Players of Vampire: The Masquerade will recognize him as the inspiration for the Samedi bloodline. 

He is also, with the cigar and rum, likely the inspiration for Jobu from the movie Major League.

Damballah – loa of the cobra. In Christian syncretism, equated with Saint Patrick or Moses.
