Death in Vodou is a two-stage process and the second stage costs money. The desounen, performed at or shortly after death, separates the gwo bonanj from the body and from the lwa seated in the person's head. The spirit then goes anba dlo, under the water, to Ginen. A year and a day later the family should perform the wete mò nan dlo — known in French as the retirer d'en bas de l'eau — which calls the spirit up out of the waters and installs it in a govi, a clay vessel kept in the temple or the household altar, from which it can subsequently be consulted and can act as a family lwa. A family too poor to hold the second ceremony knows that their relative is still in the water, and this is a real and specific anxiety, frequently deferred for years and frequently funded by relatives abroad.
