Comment

As a Haitian-American, I will post one correction. "Bwa Chech" may mean in polite society "dry arms"...but it also refers to a vagina lacking lubrication, which also seen as vaguely vampiric in addition to being unpleasant for lovemaking.

Unsure regarding the assertion that she is the protector of werewolves. This may be a reference to a lougarou, which in French translates somewhat to "werewolf". From what I understand, Haitian lougarou is not a werewolf, per say, as much as it is a vampiric bird creature. The link directing to the werewolves page is misleading.

Mambo Cécile Fatiman?

The article says Marinette was the woman who sacrificed the black pig at the start of the Haitian Revolution; I am curious if anyone knows whether this refers to mambo Cécile Fatiman? [[1]] Sugarspidersilk (talk) 01:10, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
