SIREN maitress la Siren (the mermaid), another form of Erzulie, the
Haitian voodum Goddess of love and the wife of Agoue, whose sign or
Veve is the whale. The conche shells represent fertility. La Siren
entertains herself with music, which is why she has an instrument
near her month. This instrument is so pleasant to hear that it puts
sailors to sleep on their ships!
