All roles that papa doc was once affiliated and appealed to because these fields are at the heart of human life and having a career in any one of them one is looked upon with reverence. Many individuals in these fields often have many admirers and the darker charismatic personalities can easily exploit the vulnerability of others to gain a cult like following.

    5:24 Of Note is that Baron Samedi (aka Bawon Samedi) isn’t the Guardian of Graveyards, that would be the similar lwa, Baron Cimetière. Baron Samedi’s charge is death, the giving of life, and of rebirth. He is the lwa who greets and guides the dead to the underworld and leader of the Gede. Other than that (admittedly easy to make) mistake, your research team did a great job!
