Grand Father

A chosen one from his father and mothers side, he was born in au cap in the north side of Haiti he was from lacour dereale one of the oldest and popular lacour in au cap still today, he moved from au cap to bene in the south side of Haiti, that's where he had my grand father ( amant) he passed all the knowledge he had to him, once he passed amant became the second generation of Houngan in the family, he started very young he’d work for everyone in need . Back then Vodou wasn’t what it is today, people were hiding they’re spirituality if you get possesses by spirits you couldn’t go to school, church or even the neighborhood because you would get teased, they would treat you like you were crazy but that did not stop the spirits from taking over my grand fathers body whenever they felt the need too, and it’s always for someone in need of they’re help, so he continued to be their counselor, guardian, fortune teller, protector, lawyer, doctor, a leader , for his community. In 1953 he moved to cote de fer another town in the south, he was 28 years old he got married to st anne(my grand mother) in april -14-1954 they gave birth to they’re first child my mother (La Belle Deesse sr.) he started to teach her very young whenever he had healings to do he would always take her along. La belle deesse was sent to school in fond des blanc another town in the south side of cote de fer. On December 25 1961 my grand father died in cote de fer. He was just 35 years old. Meanwhile La Belle was in a corn field in fond des blanc, she was seating on a rock when she felt her head spinning that was the beginning of a long journey ahead of her, a spirit mounted her and walked from fond des blanc thru cote de fer which is 44 kilometers on her feet she was just 7 years old. The spirit that mounted her was marinette ,she was the first spirit to mount labelledeesse sr, when she regained consciousness she found her self home, that’s when they informed her of her fathers death. The choice of the next chosen one was already done; labelledeesse sr is the 3RD generations of mambo in our family lineage!
