Grand Bois
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Haitian Vodou, Grand Bois (meaning great wood, also Grans Bwa, Bran Bwa, Ganga-Bois) is an elemental, nature-oriented loa closely associated with trees, plants and herbs. Offerings to him include leaves and herbs, honey, and spiced rum. As a loa of the wilderness he can be fierce and unpredictable in some aspects.
Grand Bois is represented by Saint Sebastian as his Catholic counterpart.
