Erzulie Freda

Erzulie Freda is the lwa of love, beauty, jewelry, and the "ideal" that can never be reached. She is the lady of the pink silk and the perfume, the one who represents the longing of the heart for a perfection that the material world cannot provide. She is often seen weeping, for the world is too harsh for her beauty. She represents the "Spirit of Desire"—the force that drives us to seek something better, something softer, and something more divine than the reality we live in.
