Many spiritual traditions embrace the belief in angels and spirit guides, and Voodoo is no different with the Divine Voodoo Spirits known as the Lwa. Each tradition offers many different ways to connect with these entities. Often, people use prayer, meditation, or other spiritual practices to communicate with angels or spirit guides, while others may seek out the guidance of a spiritual advisor or healer.

We offer more in-depth and academic resources for exploring more information on Angels, Spirit Guides, and Divine Voodoo Spirits as showcased in our extensive article section for those wishing to read more!
ANGELS, SPIRIT GUIDES & DIVINE VOODOO SPIRITS: WHAT ARE THEY?
- Angels and spirit guides are often associated with spiritual traditions that focus on connecting with divine or spiritual energies. These entities are believed to offer guidance and protection in life, and many people believe that they can communicate with angels and spirit guides through prayer, meditation, or other spiritual practices.
- As you may have gathered, Voodoo is a spiritual tradition that originated in Africa and has developed into a complex system of beliefs and practices in the Americas (especially New Orleans, Louisiana 😊). Voodoo rituals often involve the use of symbols, music, dance, and offerings to connect with spiritual energies. These spiritual energies are known as the Voodoo Lwa.
- Angels, Spirit Guides and Voodoo Lwa; very similar and powerful spiritual energies to draw upon in any magical works, Voodoo Spells, rituals, spiritual readings, and manifestation work.
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ANGELS, SPIRIT GUIDES & VOODOO SPIRITS:
While angels and spirit guides are not typically associated with Voodoo, there are some similarities between the two traditions. So much so, there is even an expression in the Vodou about the Divine Vodou 
Spirits we use, “Angels in the Mirror” as a way of acknowledging when the Voodoo Lwa appear in ceremony, Voodoo spells, private rituals, or personal communing time with the Lwa.
Another similarity is that all involve the use of rituals and symbols to connect with spiritual energies, and both emphasize the importance of developing a personal relationship with the divine or spiritual realm. In the Vodou these symbols are known as “Veves”, and you will see powerful Voodoo Veves throughout on entire site and on every single handmade Vodou product at Erzulie’s!

ANGELS: A BRIEF OVERVIEW ABOUT ANGELS & THEIR ROLES:
Angels and spirit guides are often associated with spiritual traditions that emphasize the belief in divine or spiritual energies. Angels are typically seen as celestial beings who serve as messengers from God or other higher powers. They are often depicted as having wings and a human-like form, and they are believed to offer guidance, protection, and support to humans.
SPIRIT GUIDES: A BRIEF OVERVIEW ABOUT SPIRIT GUIDES & THEIR ROLES:
Spirit guides, on the other hand, are believed to be non-physical entities that offer guidance and wisdom to humans. They are often seen as personal guides who are assigned to individuals to help them navigate their life journey. Spirit guides can take many forms, such as animals, ancestors, or ascended masters, and they are believed to communicate with individuals through intuition, dreams, or other spiritual practices.
