{"product_id":"haitian-drapo-vodou-flag-100","title":"Haitian Drapo Ogun Balendyo  #100","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern Haitian Vodou flags, or \u003ci\u003edrapo\u003c\/i\u003e, are striking expressions of contemporary textile art, dazzling with vibrant color choices and high-contrast sequins set against sturdy cotton, satin, or synthetic backings. While historically crafted exclusively to herald the arrival of spirits (\u003ci\u003elwa\u003c\/i\u003e) during ceremonial temple processions, non-vintage flags often bridge sacred tradition and fine art, crafted both for ritual practice and global art collectors. At the center of each piece sits a sharply defined \u003ci\u003evèvè\u003c\/i\u003e—the intricate geometric spirit symbol—or a blended image of a Catholic saint, framed by crisp, brilliant borders that flash with intense, fresh light. Unaffected by the softened patina or wear of age, these contemporary flags display crisp precision, newly stitched plastic or glass beads, and dynamic creative freedom, proving that this living tradition continues to evolve while keeping its sacred roots intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color tutor-markdown-rendering\" id=\"model-response-message-contentr_d4009706c081868b\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" dir=\"\"\u003eOgun Balendyo is a powerful and honored spirit (\u003ci\u003elwa\u003c\/i\u003e) within the Vodou pantheon, representing the fiery strength of the Ogun nation tempered by the wisdom, healing, and cool depth of the sea. Associated with Saint James the Greater and often depicted as a dignified military general, he is revered as a protector, healer, and advocate for justice who shields his followers from harm. Unlike some of his more turbulent warrior brothers, Ogun Balendyo brings a calmer, more composed authority, using his sword not only to defend against negative energy but also to clear paths toward peace, recovery, and spiritual clarity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" dir=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" dir=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e21 x 28\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ananse Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54982035439915,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/1154\/files\/haitian-drapo-ogun-balendyo-100-5147242.jpg?v=1786486149","url":"https:\/\/www.anansevillage.com\/products\/haitian-drapo-vodou-flag-100","provider":"Ananse Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
