Loa

A loa is a spiritual being in voodoo practices. There are two types of loas; one good and one evil. The benevolent loas are known as the "Rada loa" while the malevolent ones are known as the "Petro loa". Both humans and witches can be voodooists when they serve a loa.

One of the strictest rules in voodoo practice is that a voodooist can only serve one loa. If they break the law, and both loas see each other during a summoning, the servants will pay the price with their lives. When summoned, the loas come in animal forms.

They are only featured in the novel, Voodoo Moon.

History
Gabrielle Toussaint and her boyfriend Andre were servants of two Petro loas, one of which was called Zdenek. They were careful not to let the loas meet each other to avoid consequences.

During a fight with the Charmed Ones, Gabrielle and Andre summoned a Petro loa in snake form. The Charmed Ones tried to banish it with a spell, but it failed. Another witch, Randy Claudel, who was also a servant of a Rada loa, threw Zdenek's vévé into a bonfire, which summoned Zdenek. The loas met each other, realized their servants had broken the rules and claimed their lives as punishment.
