 Nothing is more sought after, fear and admired in Vodou than Wanga - the petitioning of the Lwa for a purpose. Mambos and Houngans in Haiti make or break their reputations on Wanga. So what exactly is this amazing feat of magic? It’s a prayer to the Spirits, a desire made manifest, an action for which people are held accountable. And it’s effectiveness is undeniable. Wanga works.
Mambo creates Wanga for the truly hard case, where paquets, lave tets and other prayer forms are not as effective. The power comes from the commitment of the petitioner. Mambo can make the pwen, but YOU must participate, in order for it to work.
Wanga is created for each scenario. There is no such thing as a generic wanga - for this to be effective Mambo needs you. You might have to offer up something. You might have to obtain something. You will definitely have to work with her - for Wanga is about a pack between you and the Lwa. Mambo is the mediator. You are the petitioner. And between the Lwa, Mambo and you, the wanga works.
Caveat Emptor: Be careful what you ask for.
Contact Mambo for specific wanga and pricing. Be aware - this is not inexpensive. The materials are often very expensive and difficult to obtain. And there’s a lot of time involved. But the results are worth the effort. Just like in life.
