Brief Bio

In West African mythology, specifically in Dahomey (now Benin) and related traditions, the term "Azě" (or its variations like "Aziza") refers to a class of supernatural beings, often described as small, forest-dwelling spirits. They are associated with both beneficial and harmful magic, and their lore is interwoven with the concept of Vodún (or Vodou) religious practices. There is often debate as to whether Azě is strictly evil as some faiths consider there to be black azě (evil) and white azě (good).
