In Vodou, Haitian Vodou no body will teach you if you not belong to the house. You can found info here and there about how to serve few Lwas but this information is not written of initiated (Kanzoed) people and it is completely incorrect. Few books written of people who did Kanzoed but those people won't give you real and true information just like that the information is general, in every house in Vodou we serve law different there is some basics stuff but we all do different way. If you want practice Vodou you need to found right spiritual house for you, spiritual family, parents and then your journey in Vodou will start. By then I wouldn't suggest you to do something you don't know, Lwa is not joke and they can get mad or upset with way you serve them.. Vodou is religion and huge traditional system is not game, you have to spend many years to get there to understand it. Life time study but also life time benefits.Good luck.
Yes Satela you are correct about that. Blancowl I will only tell what I can, I don't like discussing this on forums. It seems to me you are trying to summon a Lwa that you clearly know nothing about, Papa Legba or Eshu is always invoked at the start and end of every ceremony, or ritual. Before speaking to any other Lwa , you must consult with Legba, he will determine who passes between those gates, why? because he stands at each crossroad.
I will not give out anymore information, anyone else that has been wondering this I suggest you start digging up some information about him.
As always I wish you all the best :D
Papa Legba is the first one you call and the last. He is connected with gates.Papa Legba is associated with Saint Peter. I am sure you can do some research to futher help you. Also buying some books on the matter might be useful, make sure you get reputable ones.
I am confused you want to speak with him,invoke him or evoke him,well If you want to practice voudou you must that you always must call him before and after a ceremony.But you have a connection with him?Here is a good site which will help you http://www.patheos.com/blogs/voodoouniverse/2014/01/the-voodoo-truth-about-papa-legba/
Papa Legba is a Lwa that is in the Rada family and there is in the Petwo served as Papa-Legba-Nan-Petro and also some consider his evil twin Kalfou
Papa Legba is a very old and wise spirits he is also a trickster he is old but very strong and powerful he is the opener of the gates without him no Lwa can hear our calls he is can be served on all days his colors are red,yellow and purple depending on the house his offerings are hard candies,roast chicken,roast sweet patatoes,rum,vodka,toys Papa Legba lives at the crossroads some say
Papa Legba and Esu are not the same Papa Legba is Vodou and Esu is Ifa Santeria do not confuse Legba and Ellegua or Esu even Ellegua and Esu are not the same
