An
Orisha is a spirit or god in the belief system of
Vodun (or Voodoo)
as practiced by the
Yoruba people and others in West Africa. They were
brought into the
New World along with slaves to
Haiti, where they are
known as
loa. During rituals, worshippers are said to be
possessed (or "ridden") by the orisha.
Orishas include Shango and Eshu.
