The Marassa - the divine twin children who represent love, justice, life, purification and blessings.
 
Although the Marassa are twins, there are actually three of them; they manifest their presence by exhibiting characteristics of children, but are more ancient than other Loas. The Marassa are considered very sacred, they have the ability to heal and can enhance your clairvoyant powers. They are often called upon by farmers to bless crops, and by merchants to bless the marketplace. If you’re seeking help with your business, or with your creative projects, you can work with the Marassa. They can be especially helpful if your business deals with children or with things that appeal to children.
 
What The Marassa Can Do For You:
The Marassa are often petitioned for aid with healing, luck, increased intuition and fertility. Childless women seeking to conceive may ask the Marassa for assistance, as will those faced with a difficult pregnancy. The Marassa enhance the well being of children and can intervene when a child is gravely ill.
 
Offerings:
Candies, sweets, sugary soda, molasses, honey, pudding, cookies and white rice. Like many children, the Marassa love anything sweet but don't like vegetables. If they don’t get what they want, they will sometimes throw tantrums and take their blessings away.
 
Decorate Your Altar:
If you are a twin, or if you have twins in your family, you should pay homage to the Marassa. Draw out Marassa’s vévé (symbol) and place it on top of or above the altar. Set up your altar with a pink, light blue, or white cloth, and place some small children's toys as well as your offerings on top. It is important to always light a lamp for the Marassa.
