Filomez ist the most beloved and clean under the good Loa. In some Schools of Voodoo (“Houses”) she is the younger Sister of Love-Goddess Erzulie, but without her Prejudice and Jealousy, in some not. She is imagined as a beautiful young Women bearing a Bunch of Flowers, which is her Symbol, her Color is White. She is a benevolent Water-Spirit, which is able to clean every Guilt and lift even the worst Curses of the dark Loas with ease, if the Believer is honestly begging for it. She does ask not for Sacrifices, but it may be wise to hold a white Lily, which she is said to love most. Everyone can turn to her for Help, without the Aid of a Priest (and without paying Money!).The Christian Counterpart is Mother Mary, while St. Philomena of Rome is her Eponym. Filomez is an Example for that gruesome Voodoo-Religion is not evil as a Whole, and that in its Believes evil Forces are always overthrown by the good Ones!
