All servitors wrapped their heads for ceremony. It's both a demonstration of humility and a show of support for the Lwa being fetted. Satin is the preferred fabric. It's
shiny surface reflecting the candles and lights of the peristyle, making the servitor flash and sparkle as they dance around the poto mitan. amd it's that flash that is so irresistible to the spirits.
the reason we tie our heads to call down the Lwa - They love shiny thing!
Fet Gede is the season of remembering the dead, and the colors are often somber and funereal in design. We offer here the three most popular colors - deep violet, black
and white satin. Muschoir is 24 inches squares, heavy satin with finished edges.
