Contrary to popular belief the first Africans to set foot on Puerto Rico or theAmericas for that matter where free men. In 1509.a West African free man who was the son of a Yoruba King and latter baptized Juan Garrido was an African Conquistador who worked under Juan Ponce de Leon, "Puerto Rico's first Governor" andwas the first free African man to set foot on Puerto Rican soil almost 100 yearsprior to the first African slaves that came to the Continental United States, "Jamestown 1607". Another free black man was the historical Pedro Mejías, who married the last Cacica Chief of Puerto Rico, Yuiza who like Pedro Mejias was baptized a Catholic and renamed Luisa in order for both to be legally wed under Spanish law.

Like the Dominican Anacaona who makes up a part of the Agua Dulce Division, Yuiza was a Puerto Rican Cacica "Chief" who presently makes up a part of the Spiritsvenerated in Puerto Rican Sance. The northern town of Luisa Aldea in Puerto Rico is named after this very important historical figure happened to be the lastfemale Cacique Chief in the Caribbean.

Like many Spanish, French, Portuguese and latter English Colonies the African e

nslaved people came from different societies and tribes, each having their own dialect, language and culture, but the slaves of Puerto Rico were mainly of the Yoruba, Igbos, Congo and Bantu.

Haitian Vodou or Voudun consists of 21 Nations or Nasyons of Lwa or what Dominicans call los Loases or Misterios de La 21 Divisiones ( 21 Divisiones is also known as Budu or Vudu Dominicano.) This means that the Lwa come from 21 various tribes or Nations from West Africa, each having their own ancestral or village Orisha or Kimpungulu "Mpungo". Although some claim its less others claim it is more. It is historically proven that the African slaves brought to Cuba, Hispañola and Puerto Rico where from those that are numbered and listed below, which consist of what is known as the 21 Naciones, Nasyons or Nationes.

1. The Yoruba "Nago" 2. The Bantu, Bikongo Congo "Kongo"3. The Foula4. The Ewe5. The Fon6. Dahomey7. Arara 'Arada, Arda"8. Ibo Lele9. Angola10. Ogou11. Ketu12. Sango13. Togo14. Danwomen,

15. Mayonbe,16. Wangol,17. Makaya,18. Bambara19. Igbo20. Ado21. Hausa

This list can vary or change as the Mandingue "Mandinga", the Ashanti and othertribes were defenetly brought to the New World, that can also be a part of the N

ations, but as I have described, in Puerto Rico alone the majority of the African slaves were from Yoruba, Congo, Bantu and Igbo which was estimated to be around 15,000 African slaves by the year 1555.

The Vodou " Vodoun" 21 Naciones, " Nasyons or Nanchons " or 21 Divisiones "Divisions is a formation of a group of Spirits and Divinities that come from a geographical point of origin or blood lineage. Now in Haitian Vodou these 21 Nationes have been split into four groups, while in Dominican Vudu and Puerto Rican Sance, "also spelled Sanci or Sanse" they have been split into three.

In Haitian Vodou you have generally Rada, Petwo, Ghede and Congo, and other subdivisiones that the Lwa may fall within, such as Anago. While in Dominican Vuduyou have Division Blanca, Division Negra and Division India. Each of these "3 Potencias" are represented in this form.

1) Misterios deAlta Luz, Rada is ruled by Lightand represent the Sun.The Loases of this Division can also be broken down into other Sub Divisiones,and can pertain to other Divisions. The word Rada comes from the Arara word for Light or Sun, which discribes the Lwa of this Division. All though they are represented as Spirits of Aryan features, such as light skin, light eyes and blond hair. What this really means is that the Rada Division or Division Blanca areLwa of pure light, which speaks more of their auric layer than tone of humanlyflesh. They are very benevolent, docile, wise, ancient, calm and sweet in nature

.In our altars these Lwa are represented or synchrenized with images of CatholicSaints, but this is not always the rule of thumb, as Catholic imagery can and isoften used in all Diviones.

2) Misterios de la Oscuridad, PetroPetro is ruled by the Night and represent the light of the Moon. This is the Division where one finds the Petro and Ghuede. Again like the Rada, in this Division one will find sub divisiones or Lwa that are of Africa or Root Lwa that wereborn in the Americas. Many of the Lwa found in this Division are those that are honored in Cuban Palo Monte, Palo Mayombe and Brazilian Quimbanda. While theRada Lwa are more docile, the Petro Lwa are more agresive, outspoken, fierce, an

d hot tempered in nature. Many of these Lwa as I have mentioned are the fustrated energy of the Ancestors, who suffered bondage, or ridacule, and some can alsobe ancient Lwa from Africa, who became furotious with the mistreatment of theirpeople.

3) Misterios de La Raiz, Division Agua DulceThis the root and represents the land, thus the earth. Division Indio or AguaDulce does not consist of Lwa from Africa, but the Spirits as honored and venerated by the Taino, and Arawak natives of the Caribbean and known as a group as Zemi or Cemi.

This Division for those that do not understand our traditions, would find it a bit confusing, but in all actuality is a simple Division to understand. These Lw

a are the Spirits of the Land, the Root Lwa, Loases de la Raiz or as they are called in Haitian Vodou, the Rasin Lwa. This means that they are native of the land, native born, spirits of the earth or place in which one is currently in.

Many of these Lwa are also the Mestizo, Mulatto or Sambo offspring or vuelta ofa Rada, Petro and or Rasin Lwa, which spawned a new Spirit, or an ancient TainoSpirit "Zemi" who has adapted an African Lwa name, such as is the case with Erzulie Dantor and Cachita Tumbo which are both Root Lwa, and to make it a little bit more confusing, Erzulie Dantor also falls under the Petro Lwa and the Sance sub division of Lwa known as Metresas. Anaisa Pye is another root Lwa.

"Guabancex and Coatrisquie"

In Haitian Vodou this Division does not egsist as it does in Puerto Rican Sanceand Dominican 21 Division; many of the Lwa in this Division, "Like Erzulie Dantor and Cachita Tumbo" are actually mixed into other Divisiones.

Many of the Lwa or Misterios in this Division can be found in Vodou, Sance and 21 Divisiones, while others are more local Lwa from the island and its Sociedadesthat honor them. For excample many local Cacique, Caciquas and Bohique havein death reached Lwa statues, and each Island has their own.

The Petro Lwa can also fall under la Raiz and under Rada, and most are clasifiedas Meztiso, Mulatto and Zambaggoa "Zambo /Sambo" Spirits.

1. Mestizo - white and native2. Mulatto - white and black3. Zambo - white, black and natives

The word Lwa in Spanish "Loase pronounced Loh Ah Seh or Loases" comes from the French word Loi prounounced L Wah, or the Haitian Kreyol word Lalwa or la lwa which mean, the Law. Thus the Vodou Spirits embody the cosmic laws of creation. The Lwa are also known as the Misterios or the Mysteries.

THE 21 & 7 DIVISIONS / DIVISIONES

Many people in the Americas who follow an African religions and Spiritual traditions recognize the two most iconic images within our traditions, which are La Siete Potencia Africana ( Seven African Powers ), and the image used for La 21 Divisiones. But unlike the 7 African Powers that often uses the name of the Orishaunder its synchronized Catholic Saint, very rarely will one find this on the picture for the 21 Divisiones, which traditionally uses both the Catholic image and the Catholic name.

I would like to take this time on this article to use the name of the Lwa as itpertains to the traditional Dominican image of the 21 Divisiones with their Santos counterpart. But before I go further, I need to clarify that there are morethan 21 Lwa, just as their are more than 7 Orisha, in the Lukumi Pantheon. Elders will often say there are 101, 201, 1001, or 2001, the number one at the end symbolizes infinite or that there are Lwa that we do not know of, as it is impossible for any human to know them all.

The iconic 21 Divisiones is the pantheon of Lwa that are highly venerated in theDominican Republic. They are the local and most loved and widly known Lwa of the Dominican Republic, and while Puerto Rican Sance recognizes these Lwa, many Lwa are known or venerated in the Dominican Republic that are not known in Puerto

Rico and visa versa, the same can be said with Haitian Vodou and Louisiana Voodoo, as each has their own local Spirits.

Also in Sance many of the local Emisarios or Spirits of the Comisiones, that make up the Cuadro Espiritual, which is not worked in Dominican 21 Division are ontheir way of becoming Lwa, these spirits are known as Corrientes or Sance, and will one day become local Lwa Misterios. Thus in part why in Sance they have their own sub Division, known more as Comisiones, which are Spirits that make up one's spiritual frame, and one day will be Lwa. Similiar cocepts can be found in American Voodoo. For instance, Marie Lavou, Black Hawk and Dr John are but a few

18. Gran Cacique19.. Ersili Danto Pye = Santa Barbara Africana /20. Tindjo Alawe = San Rafael21. Bondye = Papa Buen Dios el Todopoderoso

JEFES OF THE 21 DIVISIONES

1) División Legbá or Division Leguas :The ancient elder, and young Loases Lords of the pathways, communication, guardians, gatekeepers and messengers of the Misterios. Although the Legba have the

ir own Division they pertain to every other, for without them, the doors betweenthe Spiritual, Astral and Material plane could not be opened or closed. Nothing is done without first egknowlowding Legba, may it be by a prayer, the tappingthree times on the altar or ritualistic dance and gestures with the ritual rattle and the Jarro Divisional. The Jefe "Chief' is Papa Legba also known in Africaas Legbara. He is not the eldest, nor the youngest, but surely one of the wisest of his Division. In this Division one finds Legbá Carfú, Legbá Atibón, Leguasito, Roita Legba and countless other Legbas. Their color is often brown with another color to distinquish the Lwa.

Yoruba tradition states that when God "Olodumare" fell ill, all the Orisha triedto find a remedy for that which ailed him, but it was only Elegbara who found the remedy, thus Olodumare blessed him with having the abilities to be in all are

as at once. Another legend states that when Nzambi Bondye created the universehe left Legba in charge of planet earth, so that he "God" may rest. Papa Legbawith the help of Papa Ogun and other Loases helped to create the foundation ofwhat would be life on earth.

2) División del Fuego / del Monte or Division Ogunes:The Jefe Chief is Ogun Balendjo, eldest son of Papa Ogun. Unlike Papa Ogun whois often distant from humans, Ogun Balendjo and his brothers have a close relationship with life on earth and its ever growth in tecnology. The Ogun answer tono other Lwa or humans for that matter but Legba who they have the greatest resp

7/27/2019 Sanci


ect, in which they abandon their weapons, spears and military supplies and become the great leaders. Where Legba opens the pathways, Ogun leads and clears thepath and comes to heal and console.

Many of the Ogun dress in Blue, although Green and Red is also used, and ofren are seen riding their trusted White stallions. There are many Lwa in this division, such as Ogun Balendjo, Ogún Badagrí, Ogún Batalá, Ogún Fegallo, Ogún Negué, Ogún Paun Ansú. But many who pertain to this Division do not carry the name Ogun such asOsanj and the sub division of Gran Bwa as well as other Lwa that do not carry the Ogun sername.

Ogun's importance is retold in the story of when Bondye gave the keys of the earth to Legba. Legba quickly went to Ogun. Legba commisioned him to carve the roads through the ruff turain and jungles that had been the earth at the time. Ogun was the only Lwa with the proper wisdom and knolwedge of human evolution andhe taught them "humans" the art of making tools and the implements nesessery forthe evolution of the earth. He quickly won favor in Bondye's eyes who comisioned him as King amongst the other Lwa, but Ogun refused, when he saw the greed and power humans had and how they used and manipulated his implements for war andstrife, that Ogun refused the position and went to live in the deepest of jungles. Although he presides till this day in the deepest of woods it is because ofOgun that humans learned the art of tools, war, healing and tecnology .

( The first cells on earth feed of amino acids and grew on iron, and that Lightn

ing might have helped create the key building blocks of life on Earth .... Ok this is not a science class, you get the picture...)

3) División Radá, Division Rodas,División del Aire or Division Blanca:In Dominican Vudu known as La 21 Divisiones, the Jefe to this Division is Pié Pier Basicó or Ferraille Adogan Piel, Papa Pie Anciano, who is synchenized with SanSimon Pedro or San Marcos de Leon who is an ancient Ogun Lwa of Fire. In this Division one finds the highly elevated Lwa of the skies and air element, such as Belié Belcán Toné (who happens to be an Ogun.) Dambala, Papa Legba, Papa Loko, Papa Sobo, La Sirena Yemalla, Gran Ersili, Erzulie Freda, Agwe, Gran Halouba, Klemezin,and Filomez to name a few. Many dress in white with another color to distinguishthe Lwa.

The Rada Lwa are the ancient Spirits of Africa, and every culture that came fromAfrica, "every single one" their Spirits, and Deities are the spawn and children of the Rada, who are as ancient as they are wise and benevolent.

When Buen Dios created the universe he came to an area we now call earth, and through his will he called on Da, and Da with his coils formed the earth. Da withhis coils formed the hills and the valleys, he formed the trees and he formed the jungles. Then Buen Dios knew it was good, that he lit the earth by day withthe sun and the night with the moon and stars "Mawu - Lisa". Then from Da's golden coils deceanded the first Premordials, who forged metal, created volcanoes,the vast seas, lakes, streams and ponds. Then lightning deceaned on a sacred place called IFE, and the sacred stones where formed, which would house the Sacred

Premordials. Then Da's reflection on the water created a rainbow, and Papa Buen Dios said, this shall be your wife. Then Buen Dios looked at Da and said. 'From this day forth you shall be called Dambala and your wife the Rainbow Serpent shall be called Aida Wedo, and through you the Cosmic Sperm and her the CosmicEgg, will from clay create smaller forms of stone, and I shall breath life intothem, and all life that walks, crawls, slithers, flies, runs and swims will reside in Ife, the birthplace place of Life. Thus life descended in drops of rainand lightning bolts on Ife, and the first stones became life forms and Buen Diossent Fa to give consciousness to these life forms and they soon filled the earth with beauty and wonder.

4) División India, Division Indios or Division Agua Dulce:

The Jefe is a Loa de Raiz (Root) Lwa by the name Cacique Samaó or Gamaó. This Division is the largest Division in Sance, Zancie and 21 Division, and it consists of 1/3 of the Great Spirits of the Native people of the Americas, the Indigenouspeople, and the Root or Misterios de Raiz. Within this Division one does not just find the Cemi "Zemi" Spirits of the Taino, Arawak and Caribs, but also historical and elevated Cacique and Cacica chiefs, Nitaino warriors, Naboria common folks, Bohique priests and Bohitu Shamans, who have ascended into Lwa status. This Division is of the element of fresh sweet water. There colors are blue, green, red and yellow.

A Puerto Rican Taino folklore tells the tail of how Yucaju "God" had a son namedYayael who rebelled against his father, Yucaju banished his son, but Yayael kept rebelling against his father, for he wanted to be more powerful than he. In afit of rage Yucaju killed his son, and when his rage was gone, remorse startedto set in. So he took a Jiguera goard from the Higuera Tree and placed Yayael'sbones within it. Then Yucaju painted Zemi symbols on the gourd and hung it above the entrance of his hut, in case any other Cemi dared rebel against Yucaju they would meet the same fate. and to demonstrate Yucaju's strength and power. But Atabeira the great mother of the Sea, wanted to see her son, and begged Yucaju to let her see his remains within the Jiguera. When Yucaju agreed, he took down the Jiguera and opened it so that Atabeira could see the remains of Yayael.

But instead of Yayael's bones, what was inside the jiguera was fresh sweet water"Agua Dulce" and fresh water fish. At the time the only waters of the earth were the salty waters of Atabeira, and the only fish where those that lived withinthe sea. So they poured the fresh water on the earth and its fresh water fishwhich created the streams, rivers, ponds and lakes and the life within it, whichwould sustain animal and plant life on earth. But they could not resist the urge to feast from some of the fish within the jiguera gourd. Thus Yayael becameas great as his father, for he created sustainable life for humans, and also lived within his father and mother.

Within this Division there are many Lwa and Cemi some of the most popular are Tindjo Alawe, Agueybana, Hacuaí Dantó, Agalla Dulce, Doña Mencia, Doña Ines, Yuiza, Anacana, Caonabo, Cayacoa, Guaroa, Tamayo, Carmelina Dansolei, "Carmelina Dan Soley"

, India Agua Azul. Indio Carinoa, Pluma Blanca, Toro Sentado, Aguila Roja, Aguila Blanca, Indio Enriquillo, India Ciboney, India Jihoanya and Gran Cacique to name a few, in this Division one also finds the Comisiones de Indios which are Emisarios of the Division such as Indio de la Paz, Indio de la Fuerza, Indio Poderoso, Indio de la Guerra, Indio Bravo, Indio Libertador and Indio Valiente.

5) División Del Cementerio, Division Guedé:The Jefe of this Division is Barón Samedí also known as Baron del Cementerio or elVaron del Cementerio. He is the son of Aganman Nibo who is known as Papa GhedeLimbo. The Ghede Division lives within the stomach of el Baron del Cementerio, and come out through the birth canal of La Baronesa which is symbolized by the entrance of a graveyard. The Ghede are the dead, but definitely not the Ancestors. Unlike the Ancestors who do not reside in the graveyard, the Ghede do, often

under the tombs and grave sites. For this reason alone one never places the Ghede near the Ancestors or ones departed. El Baron is always represented by the eldest tomb of a male buried in that particular cemetery while La Baronesa who isalso called Madame Brigitte, is represented by the oldest female tomb. Ghede Limbo is represented by the oldest tomb with a cross. Of all the Divisions thereare more Ghede then there are Lwa, and some of the most recognized besides theones I mentioned are, Barón Sandí, Lakuá, Ghede Zaina, Luis Ghede, Ghede Zumbí, Gedelíaedelina and Guedesito. There color is often Black or purple with another colorto distinguish the Ghede.

In many African cultures especially the Bantu it was believed that the first twohuman souls, one male and the other female "children of Mawu the Moon and Lisathe Sun and grandchildren of Nana Buluku" traveled to the earth on Da's golden thread which was symbolic of a Spider's web or a Serpent's coil "Lightning" and then took human form. They lived a long and fruitful life in a place called Ife,that was made suitable for them to inhabit by elder Primordials. When they diedthey became the first Dead, the first Ghede, Ti Ghede, and Ghede Zaina. Ghede Zaina is known as brother of Gun and Da. "Ogun and Dambala"

While Haitian Vodou and Dominican Vudu de la 21 Divisiones honors the Ghede andthey are often the last to be invoked in Fete, the Ghede are not so much invokedor involved in the practices of Puerto Rican Sance, unless the Sociedad has a strong tie with Haitian Voudon. The Lwa such as El Baron del Cementerio, often come silently to observe and is given his gin, and the Ghede are honored in the cemetery and tombs, but rarely do they participate in Sance Fiestas.

The Ghede love spicy foods, Habaneros, and when mounting a Houngan or Papa Bocorlove to drink Gin and eat the ashes from lit cigars, many also use the ashes topaint their faces. They always boast on how the Rada Lwa make their promises but it is the Ghede who often comply, especially when it comes to the dirty workthat the Rada refuse to do. Many of the Rada Lwa and Metresas find the Ghede tobe vulgar, loud and obnoxious and will not be in the same vicinity when they are present.

6) División Petrós or Division Negra:The Jefe of this Division is Gran Buá Yilet and Ti Jean Petro.

Ti Jean Petro was a Dominican African ."Spanish" slave from Santa Cruz de Barahona " a City in the South of the Dominican Republic" who became a powerful and well respected Papa Bokor by the name of Don Juan Felipe Pedro. He Incorporated not just only the off springs of Arawak and African Spirits from the Kongo and Dahomey who were as oppressed as its people, but also harnessed the oppressed energies of the Ancestral Lwa. Although many are Lwa, many are elevated historicalfigures who fought for independence, justice and freedom at all costs. These Ancestral Spirits where called Bukulu or Egun by the Africans and Hupia or Opia bythe Taino and Arawak people. The Petro are the of springs of these two cultures. They are the root lwa of the new world and do not appear in African Vodou, a

nd are more aggressive in nature than their Rada counterpart. There are many Petros, each country has its own local one, while other share many in common suchas Erzulie Dantor, Mambo Fatima, Mambo Maronet, Ti Jean Petro, Jean Fegó Pié, LegbaKalfou, Pile Fey Simbi Dlo, Gran Torolisa, Juan Danto Pie, Tiyán Petró and many more. There color is Red with another color to distinguish the Lwa. When dealingwith the Petro, one must be careful what is asked for, they literarly listen toeverything you say, and if it is of a vengenceful nature they are quick to repaytheir depots. They are not as lenient as the Rada Lwa, when it comes to dealingwith punishments. The Petro like all Lwa are no ones watch dog, or no ones genie in a bottle waiting for its master's command, no man has power over any Lwa and they are forces of nature that demand the greatest of respects.

In Haiti and the Dominican Republic the Petwo or Petro are the spirits of Africa

n slaves and Indians who fought for freedom and independence. In Puerto Rican Sance this Division is known as Division Negra or Morena and most are the brave souls of those who practiced their traditions despite adversary. In Sance the Congo Spirits, las Negras, los Cimarones, and Esclavos of a person's Cuadro Espiritual fall under this Division, these Spirits are often los Emisarios or Los Sance of the Petro Lwa. This Division in Haiti and the Dominican Republic is associated with Blood and Fire, and enjoy their blood offerings while in Sance theseare the Emisarios which do not ask for nor work with blood, but are given guavafruit and red wine. This Division works at night and preside in the woods and dense forests of the Caribbean Islands where their Servidores labor their energy.

in the creation of the earth, these Lwa landed on top of trees, thus they are said to manifest their energy in Palm Trees and Ceibas.
