Inspired by this hilarious comic by @elsa-fogen and really enjoyed the idea of Alastor performing voodoo magic + I love the thought that he has a little voodoo doll of Vox that he can torture anytime he's bored 💕

Baron Samedi

Baron Samedi is a well-known loa, or spirit, in Haitian Vodou. He is linked to death, the afterlife, and the crossroads. His name means "Baron Saturday," which is the day that people usually think of as the day of the dead. Baron Samedi is the head of the Guédé, a group of spirits that are connected to death and fertility. He also protects cemeteries. People often draw him as a skeleton with a top hat, dark glasses, and a black tailcoat, which makes him look like an undertaker. Sometimes, he is shown with cotton plugs in his nose to look like a dead body. People know Baron Samedi for being loud and rude, and he often shows off his wit, humor, and sexual playfulness. He is a trickster who isn't afraid to make fun of or go against social norms. He is a very respected loa, even though he is a bit of a troublemaker. This is because he has the power to let people into the afterlife or not. He is the gatekeeper to the spiritual world and makes sure that the dead are buried properly and that graves are not desecrated.

Baron Samedi is also linked to healing and resurrection, in addition to his role in death and the afterlife. People think he knows a lot about magic and medicine, especially when it comes to poisons and diseases that could kill him. People who follow him ask for his help with health problems or when they are having trouble that needs his help. People often give Baron Samedi rum, cigars, black coffee, and spicy foods as gifts. This is because he is bold and likes to have fun. People are scared of and happy to see Baron Samedi. He reminds us that death is unavoidable, but he also represents the joy and energy of life. He often has lively rituals with music, dance, and laughter, and he encourages people to live in the moment. When Baron Samedi takes over a Vodou practitioner, the possessed person may act like he usually does, drinking, smoking, and telling dirty jokes, all while giving advice and wisdom. Baron Samedi's impact goes beyond Haitian Vodou; it has made its way into movies, music, books, and TV shows. People often see him as a mysterious and charming person who represents the meeting of life, death, and the supernatural. Baron Samedi is one of the most famous and long-lasting figures in Haitian spirituality because he is both a protector of the dead and a celebrator of life's joys.
