Wikipedia's community maintained article on Damballa gathers, with citations, his standing as the eldest and most venerated of the Rada loa, his serpent form and association with primordial creation and with Ayida-Weddo, and his correspondence to Catholic saints in Haitian Vodou practice. Its strength is breadth across Vodou cosmology; a claim about a specific lineage's practice should be checked against dedicated ethnographic fieldwork rather than resting on this page alone.
