Wikipedia's community maintained article on Baron Samedi gathers, with citations, his place as the loa of the dead at the head of the Gede family in Haitian Vodou, his iconography of top hat, tailcoat and skull face paint, and his reception in popular culture. Its strength is breadth across Vodou cosmology and its popular depictions; a claim about a specific ceremony or regional practice should be checked against dedicated ethnographic fieldwork rather than resting on this page alone.
