    Ok, there i go, but let me tell you, some of the spirits you have mentioned are petro, that means, they are fierce, and not so easy to handle for a non initiated person. You know what i mean?
    1- Kongo Mambo, that´s a priestess spirit that performs kongo magick, she´s a fortuneteller, witch, black woman, and is supossed to be one of the gatekeepers of the kongo tradition.
    2- Ogu Feray, one of the Ogu Family members, he is the patron of the ironsmiths, also a warrior, a horsemen in a brown horse, and besided he can handle fire without burning.
    3- Guede Rada, a certain guede group that acts as a Rada misterie, it means they are loa that belongs to the two principal loa groups simoultaneously (at the same time).
    4- Les morts, obviously it is referred to the people dead, the spirits of dead people that are close to any person, no matter in what way (it could be in a good way as leaders and guiders, or in a bad way, as obsessive spirtis that need your help).
    5- Erzulie La Flambeau, this is one of the many aspects of Erzulie, she represents the fire of passion that consumes the heart, but also represents the rage that is inside someones heart (I mostly have seen this last side of her: a revengeful woman who decides taking revenge on the cheaters and enemies of her childs)
    6- Legba Rada, that´s not specifically a loa name, but it means the self aspect of Legba, he is a Rada spirit, even if there is a Legba Petro, whom is different from Legba himself, because Legba belongs to the Rada Nation of spirits, so he is a cool welldoer spirit.
    7- Simbi Rada, and in the Simbi family that are water spirits, and tradition spirits, they all are magicians, representing each one of them some of the original african magic tradition, so Simbi Rada represents the aspect of the Magic in the Rada Nation.
    8- Ancestors, those are the spiritis of the elders in the voodoo religion, they represent your ancestors, and also the spiritis of powerful hungans and mambos (priests and priestesses of the voodoo) that are related somehow to you.
    9- Olodumare, the yoruba name for God, but in this aspect God is above all and has no representation, Olodoumare is the power that created everything in the universe, and can not be simplified by the human mind.
    10- Les Barons, the Barons are the bosses in the Guede Family, or Guede Nation, the Barons are guedes, indeed, but there where guedes are funny and clumsy, the barons are serious (as serious as dead itself can be) They are Lords of Dead, and Masters over the other Guedes, whom they direct. Their place is in the sematary, but they can come across there to anywhere.
    Wow, how many questions answered.

      THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH!
      ( grinning )
      i have been toting this reading all over for weeks now hoping someone will want to discuss it with me!
      your insights have given me another way to look at it.

      okay...its obvious that this woman needs to be initiated, probably as a mambo
      the dead are REALLY strong in this reading...her personal 'power' will come from the dead
      i have never seen so many dead in ANYBODYS cards
      she comes from a line of witches/priestess, her power is inherited
      but what role will these dead play in her life? do they just need feeding,or are they here to stay?
      she says she lights candles and incense for her ancestors on a regular basis
      will her met tet be maman brigitte? erzulie dantor?
      many people say you cannot have a 'hot' lwa on your head
      but it looks like she will!...the only cool lwa in this reading are legba and simbi..and they not all that 'cool' -both are very changeable
      isnt it equally rare to have simbi or legba for your met tet?
      you cant put the dead on someones head! LOL!
      if i werent vodou, i would tell this woman to go somewhere and initiate egun priestess
      what advice do you give this woman?

      hugs,
      vdoll

      she says all she dream about is the dead...but she say they dont tell her nothing,they just give her nightmares and gross her out.

          My advice to that woman would be, that, yes, as you said, she has to be initiated, and would be good that she´s initiated in voudou, she has a lot of power coming from dead, maybe she is very related to Mamman Brigitte (the baron´s wife), and that could bring her a new path in her life. There is something interesting i noticed, and it´s that she has a reading that points toward something related with another life, i mean, another encarnation before her, so she has to make a rebirth, for the purpose of cutting that edge in her life, or she´ll keep having a disturbating relationship with dead.
