Meaning of met tet | Babel Free

Definitions

The loa with whom a Vodouisant has a particular connection, and with whom they specially identify.

Examples

“While his physical heritage may show resemblance to one parent or the other, in infancy, his deities, including the maît-tête, become manifest only with maturity and establish their special position.”

“The Vodou system of identifying each person's mèt tèt amounts to a method for personality typing, and this system is of great significance for understanding the moral force field of Haitian Vodou.”

“Outside Haiti, where Vodou ceremonies are held less frequently and possession is an aberration, not a commonplace, it is more difficult to determine which lwa is your met tet.”
