The Gede are a prominent and intriguing pantheon of spirits in Haitian Vodou, renowned for their association with death, fertility, and the afterlife. They are often depicted as lively, mischievous, and sometimes grotesque figures who embody the spirits of the dead and serve as intermediaries between the living and the spirit world.

Originating from West African spiritual traditions, the Gede were integrated into Haitian Vodou through the combination of African beliefs and the cultural influences of the Caribbean. They are particularly linked to the Dahomey and Yoruba traditions, where spirits of ancestors and death play a central role. The Gede are considered to be powerful protectors of their devotees and are invoked during various ceremonies to bring blessings, justice, and guidance.

The Gede are most famously associated with Baron Samedi, the leader of the Gede spirits, who is recognised by his top hat, dark glasses, and humorous, often provocative behaviour. Baron Samedi is a guardian of the dead and helps souls transition into the afterlife. Despite their connection to death, the Gede are also associated with fertility, rebirth, and the cycle of life, symbolising the continuity between life and death.

Rituals dedicated to the Gede often involve colourful costumes, lively music, dancing, and offerings of rum, cigars, and food. Participants may dress in skull masks or bones to honour these spirits, and ceremonies can be both solemn and celebratory. The Gede are revered for their honesty, boldness, and sense of humour, which often manifests in their interactions with practitioners.
