Baron La Croix

In Vodou, Baron La Croix (French for "Baron of the Cross"), or Bawon Lakwa in Kreyol, is one of the Guédé, a Loa of the dead and sexuality, along with Baron Samedi and Baron Cimetière. He is the ultimate suave and sophisticated spirit of Death - quite cultured and debonair. He has an existential philosophy about death, finding death's reason for being both humorous and absurd. Baron La Croix is the extreme expression of individuality, and offers to you the reminder of delighting in life's pleasures.

    —Baron Lane (b. 1918)

    “As ye of clay were cast by kind,
    So shall ye waste to dust.”
