These figures live in a land where everything is the exact opposite of the earth and which is accessed through the poteau mitan (puh-TOW mee-TAN). One of these figures presides over the chanting done during ordeal by fire, or the canzo. These figures are often split into the "Rada" types, which are more benevolent, and the "Petro" types, which are more aggressive. Another one of these figures, whose name means "great wood," forms a trinity with two others whose names refer to graveyards and (*) crossroads. One of these figures wears three wedding rings representing her three husbands; those husbands include one called "Shell of the Sea" and "Golden Shell," and are Agwe (UG-way), Ogoun (OH-goon), and Damballa (dum-BALL-uh). Another one of these figures is the leader of the Guédé (guh-WAY-day) and is the husband of Maman Brigitte (muh-MAN bruh-JEET); that one of these figures is depicted in a top hat and tuxedo and named Baron Samedi (suh-MAY-dee). For 10 points, name these spirits from Voodoo mythology.
