WHAT

FRESH

HELL

IS

INTERPOSITION

NULLIFICATION

Elegua [the trickster, guardian of the crossroads, messenger to god, lover of children; his numbers are 3 and 21; his day is Monday and his colors are black and red; his offerings are candy, cigars, and rum, and those too you would find on her shelves]

Saint Anthony [to help her find things buried in the archaeology of her apartment]

Santa Barbara [to protect her from lightning]

Obatala [king of the white cloth—a benign deity by the measure and history of the world’s big-brand religions, minus some sacrificial chickens and an occasional goat—the essence of purity, justice, and clear thinking, but overly fond of palm wine; one with whom she might have identified]

Ben Turpin [the cross-eyed silent film comedian]
