==Marassa: The divine twins== {{tone|section|date=October 2015}} The Guede lwa have their own versions of the Twins, which appear as gravediggers. Twins are seen as having divine insight and vision. They are also part of the material world and the spiritual world (in their case, the living and the dead). They usually wear contrasting colors. Guede Masaka assists Guede Nibo. He is an androgynous male gravedigger and spirit of the dead, recognized by his black shirt, white jacket, and white headscarf.<ref name="Queer">{{cite book|title=Cassell's Encyclopedia of Queer Myth, Symbol, and Spirit |first1=Randy |last1=Conner |first2=David Hatfield |last2=Sparks |first3=Mariya |last3=Sparks |publisher=Cassell |year=1997 |isbn=9780304337606 |page=157}}</ref> Guede Oussou wears a black or mauve jacket marked on the back with a white cross and a black or mauve headscarf. His name means "tipsy" due to his love of white rum. Guede Oussou is sometimes also linked with the female Guede L'Oraille.<ref name="Queer" />
