Categories: Americas mythology stubs
Ezili Dantor (also spelled Erzulie with Danto or Danthor) is the Haitian lwa of motherhood, single motherhood in particular. She is often represented by the image of Our Lady of Czestohowa, a Black Madonna, as well as Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Ezili Dantor is associated with the black creole pig of Haiti, her favorite animal sacrifice, and the colors red and blue, sometimes green. Her favorite offerings include: a fried pork dish known as griot, rum, Florida water perfume, and strong unfiltered cigarettes.
