Erzulie (sometimes spelled Erzili or Èzili) is a family of loa, or spirits, in Vodou.
== Overview == The Erzulie is a family of loa that are often associated with water (fluidity), femininity, and feminine bodies. They are one of the only group of spirits directly tied to these characteristics and those who become possessed (through spirit possession) often are women or Masisi (effeminate and or homosexual men).
