  13. It's the #DayOfAres / Mars' Day / #Tuesday! 🗡️

    For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #BosouKoblamin is a violent #Loa in #HaitianVodou, capable of defeating his enemies. He is very popular during times of war. He protects his followers when they travel at night. #Bosou's appearance is that of a man with three horns representing strength, wildness, and violence. When a service is held, he is offered a pig, his favorite food.
