In Vodou and especially in Haiti Ayizan (also Grande Ai-Zan Aizan or Ayizan Velekete) is the loa of the marketplace and commerce. She is a racine or root Loa associated with Vodoun rites of initiation (called kanzo). Just as her husband Loco is the archetypal Houngan (priest) Ayizan is regarded as the first or archetypal Mambo (priestess) and as such is also associated with priestly knowledge and mysteries particularly those of initiation and the natural world.
