The source presents the Marassa as 'divine twins' (Marassa Jumeaux). They are described as children while simultaneously being 'more ancient than any other loa.' The same source frames them as synthesizing the vodou loa as a 'personification of divine power and the human impotence.' No narrative origin tale or cosmogonic story is provided in the cited excerpt.
The cited material depicts the Marassa as children and uses the phrase 'children mysteries.' Beyond this childlike characterization the provided excerpt offers no additional iconographic details (such as clothing, colors, or objects) or standardized visual form.
According to the source, the Marassa are described as embodying 'Love, truth and justice' and as being 'Directed by reason.' They are called 'mysteries of liaison between earth and heaven' and are said to 'personify astronomic-astrological learning.' The excerpt states they 'synthesize the vodou Loa as personification of divine power and the human impotence.' It also describes them as having a 'double life' and 'considerable power' which 'allow them manage people through the stomach.' The source presents these formulations without detailed operational explanations.
