Dan Petro
Haitian Vodou · deity · Haitian Vodou traditional religion; continuing · Recorded classification
THE PETWO NATION WAS ABSENT FROM THE CORPUS ENTIRELY AND HE IS ITS ORIGIN. Every one of the twelve records that preceded this batch is Rada or Gede. The Petwo are described in the sources as born out of the harsh conditions of slavery and resistance in the New World, which is why an African-derived-religion key that holds only the Rada holds only half of what the religion is.
