In Haitian Vodou, Simbi are a large family of serpent deities. Pictured is the ritual symbol for Simbi of the Water (Simbi Dlo), which is actually taken from a photograph of a shield on one of my Voodoo dolls. The background is a vintage photo of Marie Laveau's grave. Simbi is the bearer of souls to all places, and the creative principle.This is one in a series of vintage feel Voodoodles I am working on.
