Agassou

I have a particular affinity for Agassou. He is the product of a divine mating - his mother was a princess and is said to have mated with a Leopard, giving birth to Agassou. Those in the occult know this to be the pairing of a Nephilim, with the resulting offspring being demi-divine. The angel Cassial has been recorded since ancient antiquity, to incarnate as a leopard. Perhaps, this was one of his encounters, recorded and remembered down through the ages.

Agassou is further noted as ruler and king of a particular sect in Africa that has come to be known as the Leopard Society. His brothers were also to have been the progeny of angelic matings. Their lineage, their royal regalia and their legacy is still held to this very day, by the Leopard Society of West Africa. In that society, the men take their lineage, to this very day, from the clan of Agassou. His shield and his spear are guarded to this very day - gifts that are said to have been given to him by his angelic father.

As such, Agassou is then the first human we can trace back to see how he ascended to the status of Lwa. In the Priyere, we call him "Houngan Agassou de Bo Miwa", in honor of his work as both a Priest/King and a magician. It is also a very ancient reference to Cassial, who was often referred to as the "Mirror of God".

I do not know of any Catholic syncretizations, but in my house, we use the veve in Riguad's book, to signify Agassou's royal and important status.
