How Petro Lwa Work
“Wheras Rada spirits are seen as Stately and sometimes aloof, the Petro lwa are VERY engaging, sometimes harsh or seen as aggressive, and less forgiving than their Rada counterparts. Work performed by Rada lwa tends to be subtle, reweaving the general pattern of the world around you to bring you closer to your wants and needs… but Petro lwa are direct and HOT; they wont necessarily reweave patterns gently, often preferring to give a strong pull HERE and a hard yank THERE until what you want/need is right next to you… but the whole of the area’s general pattern may be a bit wrinkled or pulled about a bit by the time they’re done. Petro spirits are FAST! (Rada spirits can be VERY fast as well, but they’re usually known for being a little slower to act than the fiery Petro lwa) Where people generally turn to the Rada lwa for gentle work and improving conditions, people generally turn to the rougher and hotter Petro lwa for immediacy, protection, fast change… all this and more are the province of the Petro spirits.”
