This Black Water Siren Studio exclusive represents the voodoo veve of

Damballah, the Creator of the Universe.

Completely hand carved in intricate detail, then cast in solid sterling silver.

A ring band is securely soldered on in your requested size,

oxidized to bring out the detail and polished to a high shine.

The face of the ring measures 3/4" wide by 1-1/8" tall.

Durable and hefty, this is an enduring piece of art that will stand the test of time

and become a family heirloom for generations.

This is solid 925 sterling silver. No coating or sealant has been applied.

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time due to exposure to environmental factors such as humidity and air quality.

If you find that your skin is turning black when wearing sterling silver it is because of the acidity of your skin,

exposure to chlorine or other salts, or certain ingredients in various applied cosmetics and lotions.

Damballah, the Eastern Light (Sun), is the Creator of the universe.

The sign of Damballah, also known as Papa Damballah, is the twin serpent.

He is “The Great Master”, the creator of the cosmos.

Damballah is one of the most important of all the Loa;

he is the Sky Father and the primordial creator of all life.

He rules the mind, intellect, and cosmic equilibrium.

Damballah, as the serpent spirit and “The Great Master”, created the cosmos by using his

7,000 coils to form the stars and the planets in the heavens and to shape the hills and valleys on earth.

By shedding the serpent skin, Damballah created all the waters on the earth.

Damballah, the patriarchal serpent divinity, is an ancient water spirit associated with rain, wisdom, and fertility.

He is usually entwined with his wife Ayida Wedo, the rainbow.

Damballah is often represented as St. Patrick (who mastered the serpents of Ireland),

and sometimes as the patriarchal Moses holding the Ten Commandments.

In many temples, a permanent basin of water is maintained for the Lwa.

Many representations include Damballah’s main sacrificial food

— an egg, the symbol of fertility and life.

Catholic counterpart: St. Patrick (who drove the snakes out of Ireland).

Sometimes also associated with Moses, whose staff transformed into a snake to

prove the power of God over that wielded by Egyptian priests.

Holiday: March 17 (St. Patrick's Day)

Color: White

Offerings: An egg on a mound of flour, corn syrup, chickens, other white objects such as white flowers.
