Bay of Souls

~ ~ ~

St. Trinity was conceived on a visit to Haiti with Madison Smartt Bell, the great chronicler of the Haitian Revolution. Enjoying Madison's companionship and guidance, I was able to share a number of adventures in Haiti which I passed on to the denizens of Bay of Souls. Along with him, I heard the drums and saw the fires at the crossroads.

He bears no responsibility for variations of the cult as practiced on my island of St. Trinity. The spirits lost in passage through Bay of Souls are entirely in search of their own light. They and I ask his blessing.

I also wish to worshipfully salute the memory of Maya Deren, beautiful and gallant rider to the stars, author of Divine Horsemen, which is the greatest of works on vodoun. Her insights will guide errant souls forever, all our lost brothers and sisters in pursuit of the light where the world began.

Action de grâce.
