MAMAN BRIGITTE Voodoo Veve Charm

Sterling Silver and Bronze charms are in stock and ready to ship immediately. Please be aware that the Gold veves are made to order and will generally take 3 to 5 weeks production time before shipment.

The Voodoo Goddess of Death. She is the one of the Ghede lwas, the deities associated with death and fertility. Her husband is Baron Samedi, the leader of the Ghede. Maman Brigitte protects cemeteries, especially graves that are marked with a cross. Since Voodoo combines elements of Christianity with native African beliefs, the cross symbolizes both the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the crossroads, where the human world intersects with the divine.

Beautifully and intricately detailed, this Black Water Siren Studio exclusive represents the Maman Brigitte voodoo veve. Completely hand carved, then cast in your choice of solid metal, oxidized to bring out the detail, and polished to a high shine. It is detailed on both sides, and will look great no matter which way it is worn. Durable and hefty, this is an enduring piece of art that will stand the test of time and become a family heirloom for generations.

Comes with a sturdy jump ring bail to wear on a chain or add to a charm bracelet. This does not include a chain. Please check the Accessories section for chains.

Charm is about 3/4″ wide by 1-3/16″ long including bail. A little over 1/16″ or 2mm thick.

Maman Brigitte is the lwa (goddess) of money, fertility, and death. Maman Brigitte is a tough-talking, sarcastically funny goddess who uses a lot of obscenities. She is both the queen of the cemetery and a just judge. Some also claim Brigitte is the protectress of sex workers. Some reports say Maman Brigitte is originally Celtic in origin, descended from Brigid, the Celtic goddess of poetry, smithcraft, and healing. Maman Brigitte is one of the few lwa who is white and is depicted as being fair-haired and green-eyed with light European skin.
