Ogii

Suriname; French Guiana

Ogii, shown here in the form of a parrot, a salamander, and a snake, is the king of the forest spirits, a very powerful god that, unless appeased, can be a destructive force. Following their ancient religion, the Ndyuka people build shrines to Ogii and place offerings on his altars.
