Samedi

Thirteen tiger teeth in my talismanSt. John The Conqueror and a black cat boneBeen seen walkin’ with the GuardiansNow I’m in the alley and I’m all aloneCan’t run can’t hide from destinyKnew this day was comin’ nearly all of my lifeBeen done ain’t the only boy from TennesseeTo carve his name in cypress with a jawbone knife

Samedi and Blood Magic:

Samedi may learn Necromancy and Wanga at out-of-clan costs without a teacher or without having to join a Serpent cult, usually expressed through Vodou, Palo Mayombe, or other Afro-Indigenous-American religions. They avoid teaching others, as those who join the Baron’s cult become the Baron’s playthings.
