Page "Kalfu" Paragraph 7

Kalfou is a loa not to be trifled with by any means.

He is the god of the crossroads, controlling all who venture within it and creating confusion and disorder wherever he goes ; he is also the god of black magic, a malicious magician with enormous powers over life, death and everything in between.

He is Legba's twin, and as such often plays the trickster, impersonating his brother or following behind him, nullifying his deeds ; he is the uncontrollable force of bad luck, grinning as he throws everything around him into disarray.

Despite the healthy fear with which the worshipers ( and even the Loa themselves ) regard him, he is also viewed as a necessary evil ; there must always be a Kalfu to balance Legba, and a force of overwhelming creativity and expression, even if that expression often takes horrifying forms.

Know and respect this loa.
