'''Loa''' was a word used in [[Haiti]] to refer to a type of spirit or [[god]] found in [[voodoo|voodoo/vodoun]] religions. They differed from other gods and [[angel (mythology)|angels]] in that they didn't exist far above people. Instead of being worshipped the loa were treated as friends who could be talked to, who could dance with the priests and priestesses, and who were capable of becoming drunk and angry like anyone else. They could be used as symbols that were both real and not quite real.
