Another of Haiti's Voodoo inspired myths, The Damballa Wedo is a part-serpent, part-human creature. It is a house dwelling spirit that will take occasional possession of a living member of one's family (if displeased). The Damballa communicates by hisses. It often causes the possessed to have white eyes when he is present. An offering of an infertile egg and honey will keep Damballa happy. IF not, the possessed person will retain Damballa's spirit (to the terror of the other family members!)
