The Lwa unlike many deities, you cannot simply call on them and expect them to respond to you. Lwa works with you, you do not work with Lwa. Meaning that the Lwa, in this case Papa Legba, has the choice if he wishes to work with you or not as does any other lwa. I recommend not trying to communicate with any deity if you do not know how to correctly call upon them, sometimes reading from a good article is not sufficient enough to know about how a deity works. In conclusion, if you are not sure that Papa Legba is interested in working with you, then it is best not to call upon him as you will not get any results.

Did you make an offering to him. He doesn't like being disrespected. He has the power. He might not deem you worthy. I don't know.

Papa Legba is the lwa of opening or closing the roads. Give him a offering and he will. People normally just don't work with him alone, you use him to open the gates to the others. You can use him alone but you would petition other lwas alongside Papa Legba just for him to open the roads.

As for the comment above, in Vodou the spirits normally call you forth into service and you must do so. It isn't up for debate because it is your destiny. These are comments from people who practiced over 20 years of their life into the religion of Vodou.

Why didnt Legba come because you dont just call to a Lwa and done you need to build a relationship Vodou is about relationships with the Lwa Legba is a Lwa that is easy to please and remeber serving the Ancestors because without the Ancestors no Lwa can come

I'm Roman Catholic But I have much respect for Vodou and has a counjor man of HooDoo I am constantly having people call me and tell me I practice Hoodoo..It's very annoying because we are very much different with a few similarities
I feel out of respect I should learn about Vodou just to know some basic information while dealing with this situation,does anyone have any books that you can tell me that will give me a basic Idea of Vodou?Thanks in advance and Peace to the Gods,from Queens NY
