A Voodoo Valentine

Here you go everybody! A St. Valentine's deviation style. It seems our main protagonist here from my series "Priestess" is invoking the loa (goddess) Erzulie in an attempt to win your affection.

Wikipedia says:
In Vodun, the loa Erzulie (also Ezili, Erzulie Ge-Rouge) is the spirit of love, beauty, jewelry, dancing, luxury and flowers. She wears three wedding bands, one for each husband: Damballa, Agwe and Ogoun. She is often represented by a water snake or heart symbol. Her colors are pink and red.
Under the name Erzulie Ge-Rouge, she appears curled up, crying for the shortness of life and limitations of love.

I mean, c'mon guys, look how serious she is! She summoned a goddess for you! How many girls have done *that* to win your affection?

Anyhow, this is just a little something fun for the holiday. Submitted as a print, too.
