Papa Legba usually appears as an old man on a crutch or with a cane, wearing a broad brimmed straw hat and smoking a pipe, or sprinkling water. He is always the first and last spirit invoked in any ceremony, because his permission is needed for any communication between humans and the loa - he opens and closes the gates to the spirit world. Legba is believed to speak all human languages. In New Orleans, the gates of Guinee are considered to be the portal to the afterworld. He is the most important loa because he stands at a spiritual crossroads and grants or denies permission to speak with the spirits of Guinee.
