Very often the Haitian Lwa Erzulie Danto is represented by statues and images of Santa Barbara Africana<\/a>. She is said to be a protector of women, a warrior whose power knows no bounds. People often talk about the great mother energy of the universe, and Erzulie Danto certainly fits into this category. Accordingly she is a mother who fiercely protects her children, and also keeps them well behaved. Protection from abuse, and betrayal are at the top of her list.\u00a0 Also called Erzili Dantor, she is a patroness of lesbians, and all lgbtq people. Therefore civil and human rights are also her domain. As a result if you are interested in honoring her there are several offerings you can make.<\/p>\n
