Loco (Voodoo)
Loco (also Papa Loko ) is the loa of trees and plants in the Voodoo religion . He is the patron of all remedies that are made from plants and thus also the protector of the healers who work with plant medicine .
He is mainly called upon during rituals that involve healing. The healer asks Loco for support and that his medicine will work. A tree or a flower is often planted for him after the ritual. Tree bark (from an already dead tree) can also be burned.
