O céu é lindo,
mas o mar também é.
(Ponto de Cura)
The sun is too beautiful.
And so is the sea.

The eighth annual ceremony held for the loa, Agwe, in Queens, New York. The celebrants arrive, the sanctuary is meticulously set up, the drummers gather, and the celebration begins.
According to Gary Pierre:
“Agwe is the Loa of direction. His territory is the winds and the currents, waves and depths of the oceans. Agwe rules over the sea, fish, and aquatic plants, as well as the patron loa of fishermen and sailors. He helps sailors find their bearings when lost at sea. He provides inspiration and guidance whenever an individual needs them in times of turmoil, loss, or indecision. He lives in a glorious palace under the seas.
He is considered to be married to Erzulie Freda and La Sirene. He goes by several titles, including Shell of the Sea, Golden Shell, The Angel in the Mirror, The Eel, and The Tadpole in the Pond.
His colors are blue, white, and occasionally sea green or brown. His veve (ritual symbol) is a boat with sails. His symbols are painted shells, painted oars, and sea life like the Seahorse and Starfish. He is syncretized with the Catholic Saint Ulrich of Augsburg and occasionally the archangel Raphael, both of whom are depicted holding fish. His holy day is Thursday.
He is saluted or signaled with blowing on a conch-shell and/or volleys of gunfire. When he possesses a devotee he often pushes himself around the temple on a chair (his boat) with a cane (his oar), shouting naval commands and saluting members of the congregation.
Small offerings to Agwe are poured or dropped overboard in deep ocean water. Large offerings to Agwe are left on constructed rafts, which are floated or towed out, to sea. If the raft sinks, it is accepted; if it returns to shore it is rejected. After the offering is left, the supplicants cannot look back at that place or it will anger Agwe.”
A panorama of Mauna Loa taken from the slopes of Maunakea under a full moon on the Big Island of Hawaii. This is one of the last photos taken using my beloved Nikon D5300 before it was stolen while filming time-lapse on the summit. I have now upgraded to a D5500.
Nani Loa is an nine year old Maine Coon. She is a very loving kitty but was raised in a cattery and came to us at age 5, as a result she tends to be pretty shy.
