Papa Legba:

is a lwa in Haitian Vodou, Winti, and Louisiana Voodoo, who serves as the intermediary between Bondye and humanity. He stands at a spiritual crossroads and grants (or denies) permission to communicate with the spirits of Guinée, and is believed to speak all human languages. In Haiti, he is the great elocutioner. Legba facilitates communication, speech, and understanding. He is commonly associated with dogs. Papa Legba is invoked at the beginning of every ceremony. Papa Legba originates from the historic West African kingdom of Dahomey, located within present-day Benin.
