Imust admitmyfirst thought of the two gentlemen was of the Marrassa twins playing games with Legba' but there is insufficient information given of the dream in order to build a proper picture'
I also lean towards Eggun working with something' but I can no see the dream so can no feel it' smell it' touch it' taste it' in order to see the pattern of any loa present of no'

All great exorcise though'

It is one of the wonderful things about Vodou (IMO) that it has such a large (and ever growing) family of Loas. Now that you have listed them Nobu i must admit that i do recognize few more Barons such as la Croix and Cimitiere, though i know little about them. The extended families of Loas can sometimes seem endless.
I must also admit that i have no clue what you are talking about when you refer to GG. I am also not sure that we can confine the figures in Maggie's dream to your "GG" family unless Maggie has some particular experience or affinity to working with these spirits. I don't think we can eliminate the possibility of one of these figures being Kouzen (Azaka) simply because he isn't part of the GG family. This is not to say that a Loa that you are completely unfamiliar with might not come to you in a dream, but if we are to look at likelihoods, it seems far more likely that the beings in Maggie's dream are ones that she has already encountered either through direct experience or study, something that she is already aware of.. More very specific Loas are more likely to be dealing with someone from a specific house or family where that very specific Loa is known. I thought of Kouzen Zaka because he is well known even by people with just a general knowledge of Vodou and demin is his known mode of dress, usually with a straw hat.
I am also not sure that we have enough information of these dreams even to know for sure that this is a contact by Loas.
All that aside i would be greatly interested in hearing more about the GG. I am also very interested that in this family a Baron was thrown out for being too lude. I thought ludness and outrageous behavior was a hallmark of the Ghedes.

Dreams can be very life changing. This is the one that changed my focus from the world to the spiritual. I first wrote of it on HX but will copy it here. I would be intesrested in your thoughts....

The dreams yes....so many dreams. Well I have already told my story, that Vodun caught me when I traveled to Benin trying to get a PHD. But there was one defining moment. You see, my main thing was to get my PhD and go back to NYC and continue my life in the field of Psychoanalysis. I had taught high school for 7 years and returned to graduate school to get a Master's in Psychoanalysis. I studied at the Object Relations Institute of Psychotherapy to become an analyst: but, I was told that I was absolutely obsessing on everything African. Anyway, I journeyed to Africa to prove that conventional Psychotherapy simply didn't work for African Americans and attempted to take a more cultural approach to psycho-therapeutic treatment. But, I got caught by the Voduns.

Upon arrival, I was told that my visits to Africa were not by chance. I had been on a life journey that led me to Vodun. In 1998 I traveled to Benin on three separate occasions. Each time it was a dream that made me go back. On one occasion I remember a dream that woke me in the night screaming! There was a grand serpent! I put the snake in a bag and attempted to get rid of it; but, everywhere I took it, it would be back when I returned home. I tried to put it on a plane, trains, throw it in dumpsters...every way I could think of throwing it away I would try it. But the snake would always be back, at the house, when I returned. I am terrified of snakes! This great snake...ayidowedo...simply would not let me reject it. But, my defining moment came when I came back after 3 months in an initiation chamber in Benin, West Africa.

There was an old woman who lived behind me. I did not know, at the time, that she was a relative of Dagbo Hounon Houna....the Supreme Chef du Vodun. As family head Dagbo had asked me for money to build a small apt. to have a place to live when I came for ceremonies. I didn't know that the property actually belonged to one of his family member's who had died. He used me to develop the property, put water on it etc. etc. There was an old woman who lived behind me. The old woman hated me. She would sit on my porch and beg for food. I would give her what I had; but, she also would pour down curses on my head on occasion. So, I would ask her to leave. I didn't know that she actually was the wife of the property owner who had died.

Upon my return from a 3 month initiation the woman was sick. I was told she was dying. I went to her. Dagbo's son said, " Mami forget her. It is her time...she is dying!" The lady was skin and bone. I went to the pharmacy and got vitamins (B12) for her. She was not eating; and, I was attempting to help. A day later she got up...the family took pictures...and she died a day after that. I was saddened.

About a week or two later I had the dream that changed my life. In this dream I was walking on a very long journey; and, in my arms I was carrying this woman. She was a bag of bones! I walked and I walked carrying her. While on the journey I kept saying to myself...."This woman is broken...they will NEVER accept her! Why am I doing this...she is not worthy!" I walked and I walked. At the end of my journey I came to a great light; and, I lifted her up to the light. Hands reached out to accept her; and, a voice said unto me, "IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF HER THAT WE ACCEPT HER; BUT, IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU!" Tears flowed from my eyes!

That is the dream that changed my life! I knew then that there was something going on in my life that I needed to pay attention to. I was a PRIESTESS! I have not looked back!
