In Vodou, Baron Cimitière (Baron Cemetery) is one of the Guédé, a spirit of the dead, along with Baron Samedi and Baron La Croix. He is said to be the male guardian of the cemetery, protecting its graves. His wife Maman Brigitte, the female guardian, protects the headstones.
His horses wear a tuxedo or tails and a top hat. They have expensive tastes, smoking cigars and drinking wine or fine liquor. They are just as crass as the other Guede, but ape polite manners and upper-class airs while doing so.
[edit] Other Manifestations
- Brave Guede: The doorman between the world of the living and the afterlife, guardian of the cemetery gate. He keeps the dead in and the living out.
