{{wikipediainfo}}The '''''loa''''' (called '''''dakina''''' by the [[Native American]]s) were a type of [[spirit]] in [[voodoo|voodoo/vodoun]] religions. Unlike other spirits, they existed alongside [[human]]kind, rather than above it, and were treated as friends rather than [[god]]s.

[[Faction Paradox]] often used the loa as spiritual tools, summoning them so the loa would invest them with that loa's particular abilities. Godfather [[Morlock]] was known to have summoned loa out of thin air when he needed them. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') Godfather [[Avatar]] was a loa and was capable of riding a human psyche. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Of the City of the Saved...

From the perspective of the [[Great Houses]], who saw history as a quantifiable string of equations, loa did not exist. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Weapons Grade Snake Oil (novel)|Weapons Grade Snake Oil]]'') When Mother [[Tarra]] invoked the loa among a [[coven]] of young [[Gallifreyan]]s, [[Kellen (The Ancestor Cell)|Kellen]] preferred to refer to them as equations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'') However, Faction Paradox was against this formulation, defining history as an ever-changing pattern, and just as shapes can be seen in clouds in the sky, the loa could be seen in time.
