Ayida Wedo is the goddess of the rainbow and the wife of Damballah Wedo. She is considered to be the co-creator of the vodoun pantheon. In this card, Ayida Wedo has a snake wrapped around her right arm and neck. The face of the snake seems to be her face (the snake is green, a nod to Simbi, the trickster snake of illusion). This symbolizes oneness (two become one). Ayida Wedo’s skirt covers her genital region, though it is sheer, and gives a hint of what is there (coyness?). The skirt is white, symbolizing purity, innocence, peace; she is otherwise naked, but the snake and her left arm covers her breasts. Her right arm is upraised (harness divine energies?).
The background is of pastel colors and movement fledgling energies. The snake is flicking its tongue, which is how snakes taste in real life. This could indicate testing the waters (of emotion), so to speak.
