Gran Ibo is a goddess/loa of wisdom and patience. She sits and waits, watching and embracing the heart of the swamp. She holds the secrets of the mysteries that lie therein. She is the one who knows the magic and the medicine found within her little sisters who are the healing plants and herbs of the forest. She knows the power of the water. Through her, the roots, plants, herbs, and flowers of the swamp communicate to the voodooist.

This goddess is a hermit. She is ancient and wise. Her home is in the solitude of nature away from prying eyes. Her sacred animal is the yellow canary who whispers secrets of the mysteries into her ears. Canaries lead the soul to the ancestral realm. Give Gran Ibo and her canary food, blue-gray candles, swamp plants, plants with healing properties, seeds, and love and respect. 

Gran Ibo is excellent with oils and incenses.  She has inner peace and bliss.  She has foresight into things.  She is not rash nor is she impulsive. She understands and hears all the languages of life forms around her. If you lie she will see right through you.   She is the Loa of the Vodun tradition called Congo.

She will either hold her crystal ball so she can see what the future holds for you, or an abalone shell with a small sage smudge stick. The additional item will depend on availability at the time of creation.
