Agwé (also spelt Goue, Agoueh, or Agive) is a lwa who rules over tornadoes, sea, fish, and aquatic plants, as well as the worshipped patron lwa of fishermen and sailors in Vodou, especially in Haiti. He is believed to live on an underwater island and be married to Erzulie Freda and La Sirene. He goes by several titles, including koki la me ("Shell of the Sea"), koki dore ("Golden Shell"), "The Angel in the Mirror", "The Eel", and "The Tadpole in the Pond".
