The Gede (French: Guede) are the family of lwa, spirits or deities associated with Ancestor worship in Haitian Vodou, that represent the powers of death and fertility.
In possession, they will drink or rub themselves with a mixture of clairin (raw rum) and twenty-one scotch bonnet or goat peppers.
Fèt Gede is celebrated on 2 November, All Souls' Day ("Festival of the Dead").
[6] Boons granted by the Gede not repaid by this date will be avenged afterwards.
[citation needed] The Guede lwa have their own versions of the Twins, which appear as gravediggers.
