Badessy
Badessy is a minor loa who holds the domain of the sky in Vodou and particularly in Haiti. "Associated with Damballah, as members of the Sky Pantheon, are Badessy, the wind, Sobo and Agarou Tonerre, the thunder. It is possible that there was a time when such natural elements were very important in men's lives, and although these divinities still hold their important position in the ritual order, they do not frequently possess the serviteur. They seem to belong to another period of history. Yet, precisely because these divinities are, to a certain extent, vestigial, they give, like Damballah's detachment, a sense of historical extension, of the ancient origin of the race. To invoke them today is to stretch one's hand back to that time and to gather up all history into a solid, contemporary ground beneath one's feet.p.116"~Maya Deren
