Spirit
Bundles - Paket Kongo
Spirit-activated healing bundles,
consists of curative herbs wrapped
in cloths, criss-crossed with colorful
satin ribbons, held in place with
straight pins and topped with feathers.
They amplify the healing nature of
Vodou. Paket with arms akimbo are
considered female; those with vertical
stem are male. After having been "heated
up" through fire rituals, these
paket kongo work together to
affect their cures, frequently in
the name of Simbi Andeso, the water
associated with healing medicines.
