Symbol of ancestry, home, and family.
Agassou is the spirit or ruler of the leopard. Agassou was born when a leopard mated with his mother, the princess. He ascended to the throne and brought voodoo from West Africa to Haiti. He represents ancestors, home, and family. His spears and shields, which were handed to Agassou by his father, the leopard spirit, are now guarded by the Leopard Society. St. Louis IV was Agassou’s representative.
