Papa Legba:

 
Papa Legba belongs to the most important and mightiest Loa in the Voodoo. He is the guardian of the gate to the world of the Loa and with it also to the world of the people. One says, without him no Loa can enter the Peristyl and there also are here exceptions, as for example baron Samedi), this is why Papa Legba is welcomed as a rule before every bigger Voodoo ceremony and is asked, he may open the gate to the world of the Loa, so that these can take part in the ceremony.

 
Papa Legba guards the gates, doors and the crossroads, therefore, are, very roughly said, all "passageways" his area. Therefore he controls not only who comes or what by the passageway, but also who / what may not happen.

 
Papa Legba has many faces and appears in different way, mostly, nevertheless, he is shown as the old, small man with crutch who carries the clothes of a beggar and a straw bag on the stooped back. His body is littered with wounds, his limbs twists and a foot lame. If he appears in this form, he looks very frail - what is delusive, nevertheless. One should never forget to his frail appearance in spite of that he belongs to the strongest and mightiest Loa. Besides, he is valid, by the way, as a Trickster. This quality of him often appears in the everyday life, he leads that which confides in him, often to his borders - absolutely in positive regard. What has one, nevertheless, during one with Legba and what he "openly or unanimously" is confronted, does not note mostly for the moment.

 
Papa Legba can remove obstacles from the way and open ways which could not be walked before. However, he is also that of the doors can close if it time is to be freed itself of old person to open for new; but even if he has the feeling not to be taken seriously by you then the doors which would have better stayed open can also shut! Papa Legba knows what and which experience of life you need and what will bring not, and he you on the suitable path.

 
Papa Legba loves sweets and particularly cakes of all kind, coffee, coke, roasted maize, peanuts, bananas and bread, however, also popcorn and coconut. He fills his maize whistle with pleasure with fine tobacco and also against a big glass of rum he has to argue nothing.
