Editing Gede (Haitian Vodou) (section)

== Bawon Gede==
The Gede are closely associated with the lwa, Bawon, whose aspects are Bawon Samdi (Baron Saturday) - ruler of the graveyard, [[Baron La Croix]] (Baron of the Cross) - guardian of the gravestone, and [[Baron Cimetière]] (Baron of the Cemetery) - guardian of the grave. 
Depending on the tradition followed, Bawon is:
# one of the Gede
# their spiritual protector, who has raised them from the dead with the help of Bawon Samdi's wife, [[Maman Brigitte]].
# An aspect of the Gede gods.

In any of these configurations, Bawon, Maman Brigitte, and the Gede rule death, the cemetery, and the grave.
