Lwa, eski yaz\u0131mda Loa olarak da ge\u00e7mekte olup Haiti Vodoosunun din\u00ee merkezini olu\u015ftururlar. Kapal\u0131 bir panteon anlam\u0131nda tanr\u0131lar de\u011fil, Yarat\u0131c\u0131 Tanr\u0131 Bondye ile insan d\u00fcnyas\u0131 aras\u0131nda arabuluculuk eden ruhlard\u0131r.<\/p>

Bondye her \u015feye kadir olmakla birlikte ayn\u0131 zamanda uzak ve eylemsiz kabul edilir: D\u00fcnyay\u0131 yaratm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r, ancak g\u00fcndelik ya\u015fama do\u011frudan m\u00fcdahale etmez.<\/p>

Bu nedenle din\u00ee pratik neredeyse tamamen Lwa’ya y\u00f6nelir; Lwa yak\u0131n, hitap edilebilir ve etkin varl\u0131klar olarak deneyimlenir. Din bilimi bu ili\u015fkiyi s\u0131kl\u0131kla deus otiosus<\/em>, yani etkin ara g\u00fc\u00e7lerin i\u015flevlerini \u00fcstlendi\u011fi aylak Tanr\u0131 kavram\u0131yla tan\u0131mlar.<\/p>

Vodou, s\u00f6m\u00fcrgeci Saint-Domingue’de ba\u015fta g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fcz Benin, Togo ve Nijerya b\u00f6lgeleri ile Kongo b\u00f6lgesinden gelen Bat\u0131 Afrika dinlerinin Frans\u0131z k\u00f6le sahiplerinin Katolikli\u011fiyle bulu\u015fmas\u0131ndan do\u011fmu\u015ftur.<\/p>

Lwa’lar Afrika k\u00f6kenli tanr\u0131lar\u0131n adlar\u0131n\u0131 ve ki\u015filik \u00f6zelliklerini ta\u015f\u0131makla birlikte tarihsel s\u00fcre\u00e7 i\u00e7inde Katolik azizlerle kayna\u015fm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.

Vodou<\/a> i\u00e7inde Lwa’lar ne kesin olarak iyi ne de kesin olarak k\u00f6t\u00fcd\u00fcr. Karakterleri, tercihleri, zay\u0131fl\u0131klar\u0131 ve talepleri vard\u0131r.<\/p>

En \u00f6nemlileri Rada ve Petwo’dur.<\/p>

Rada Lwa’lar\u0131 sakin, \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fcl\u00fc ve Dahomey ile Yoruba’ya yak\u0131n geleneklerle ba\u011flant\u0131l\u0131 kabul edilir. Petwo Lwa’lar\u0131 ise ate\u015fli, h\u0131zl\u0131 ve kararl\u0131 olarak nitelendirilir; adlar\u0131 \u00e7o\u011funlukla Don Pedro adl\u0131 tarihsel bir \u015fahsiyetle ili\u015fkilendirilir ve s\u00f6m\u00fcrge d\u00f6neminin sertlik ile direni\u015f deneyimiyle \u00f6zde\u015fle\u015ftirilir.<\/p>

Lwa’n\u0131n tek bi\u00e7imli bir g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fc yoktur. Ba\u015fl\u0131ca iki bi\u00e7imde ortaya \u00e7\u0131karlar: \u00e7a\u011fr\u0131ld\u0131klar\u0131nda kullan\u0131lan simgesel i\u015faretlerde ve beden ele ge\u00e7irme s\u0131ras\u0131ndaki bedensel varl\u0131kta.<\/p>

Her Lwa’n\u0131n bir Veve<\/em>‘si vard\u0131r; bu, t\u00f6ren<\/span> s\u0131ras\u0131nda un, k\u00fcl ya da kahve tozu ile yere \u00e7izilen karma\u015f\u0131k bir zemin i\u015faretidir ve ruhu<\/span> adeta davet eder. Veve’ler salt semboller de\u011fil, d\u00fcnyalar aras\u0131nda i\u015flevsel ba\u011flant\u0131 hatlar\u0131 olarak kabul edilir.<\/p>

Her Lwa’ya belirli nitelikler atanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r: renkler, yiyecekler, i\u00e7ecekler, danslar, ritimler, haftan\u0131n g\u00fcnleri ve nesneler. Bu atamalar inananlar\u0131n bir ruhu<\/span> tan\u0131mas\u0131na ve do\u011fru bi\u00e7imde kar\u015f\u0131lamas\u0131na imk\u00e2n tan\u0131r. Bir i\u00e7ki ya da nesne isteyen, belirli bir dans fig\u00fcr\u00fc sergileyen Lwa b\u00f6ylece kendini belli eder.<\/p>

Beden ele ge\u00e7irmede Lwa inanan\u0131n \u00fczerine biner; bu nedenle insan chwal<\/em> (at) olarak adland\u0131r\u0131l\u0131r. Ruh<\/span>, ele ge\u00e7irilen ki\u015finin bedeni arac\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131yla konu\u015fur, yer, dans eder ve eylemde bulunur; ele ge\u00e7irilen ki\u015fi ise genellikle sonras\u0131nda ya\u015fananlar\u0131 hat\u0131rlamaz.<\/p>

Katolik imge d\u00fcnyas\u0131 bir ba\u015fka tezah\u00fcr bi\u00e7imini sunar: Vodou sunaklar\u0131nda azizlerin kromoligografik resimleri bulunur ve bu resimler ayn\u0131 zamanda ilgili Lwa’n\u0131n tasviri say\u0131l\u0131r.
