Erzulie

I really enjoyed the concept of a goddess within the culture who is so beautiful and seductive that she can bewitch any man. From a non-believer's point of view this is really interesting. Men are known to be generally the less loyal sex. Why not create a goddess that allows for this? In this way, men can have an affair outside of marriage, women can blame it on Erzulie and then men can come back to their wives. This eliminates the need to place blame on the husband and also the wife's need to know more about the mistress. She can just believe that it was Erzulie. I think this would also cushion the blow to the self-esteem a woman would feel if her husband cheated on her. After all, no man can resist Erzulie, no matter how beautiful/sexy/perfect his wife is.

Also I have a question for the author: When Felicia spells out her message, "Mi haut, mi bas" does she intend for it to help Zora out later with the Sect Rouge later or does this insinuate a connection between the Sect Rouge and Felicia's zombie state? Also, how is it that Zora is able to pass by the Sect Rouge without giving the password?
