Who is Baron Kriminal? I've been seeing posts about him, especially during this last Fete of Ghede but I don't recognize the name.
Hello!
Kriminèl is a lwa who is sometimes called Baron/Bawon or Mèt Kriminèl as a title of respect, or sometimes called by his other name, Linglessou/Lenglessou. He is a spirit who walks deep in the Petwo nasyon and is known to be fairly unpredictable in terms of temperament and capacity for violence. He can be a challenge in that he is known to often desire to cause harm to his chwal by eating broken glass, stabbing with a knife, etc.
The family of spirits who hold the title Baron/Bawon are often spirits who embody an aspect of death, in a way (the graveyard, the grave, death itself, etc) and if/when Kriminèl is given that title, how he embraces death is as the amoral murderer who can take life or allow it to continue to grow. Since he sometimes takes the Bawon title, he will sometimes be included in fet Gede as a courtesy, which is probably why you were seeing his name a bunch.
I hope this frames things a little more for you! Let me know if I can offer more clarity.
