Attributes
Agwé (or Agoué) is the master of the sea waves and is also known by the names "Shell of the Sea," "Eel," or "Pond Tadpole." He is the protector of sailors, fishermen, and boats, as well as the animals and plants living in the sea.
Agwé resides in the underwater palace of Lan zilés, located in the open sea toward the west. Followers honor him by offering gifts during Vodou ceremonies in this sacred area. His palace is hard to reach and is known to house the largest collection of sea charts, carefully guarded by a loa guardian. This guardian fiercely defends his treasure against those who seek the charts out of mere greed.
