Nobody knows the true translation or the meaning of Chucky’s chant including the last phrase of the incantation. However, all of these claims are based on speculation. Damballa is a snake-god and lives in the trees near springs and hence is also known as the Draper of Wood. Further evidence that points to its Haitian origins is the use of “Damballa”, a reference to Haitian Voodoo religion. It appears to be closer to Haitian Creole which is loosely based off of French but has been subject to and modified by other languages.
The chant may appear to be French at a glance, but it is not proper French. Regardless of this heresy, it appears Damballa will grant Chucky his desires, as the deity has been seen to manifest briefly in many of the films as a giant storm-cloud, though so far Chucky has only succeeded once in the prayer to Damballa, which was how he became the "Killer Doll" that the world would never forget.Ĭommon manifestations of Damballa are storm clouds and violent lightning, sufficient to destroy an entire toy-store (as occurred during the night Charles Lee Ray died) - there are specific rules to Damballa's power, however, and in every movie, Chucky has been foiled due to one or more of Damballa's rules (the most common being that his soul transfer will not work if he stays too long in a doll body). He is a spirit associated with death, however in respects to fictional villainy, Damballa is famous as one of the central forces of the popular Child's Play universe - being the entity Chucky calls upon to obtain immortality, as well as the spirit which Chucky tries to call upon whenever he engages in a specific soul-transferring spell.Īlthough used for evil by Chucky, the Loa Damballa is not entirely malevolent, as for Chucky's former master, the firm believer in voodoo named John Bishop (also once known as "Doctor Death"), viewed Chucky's actions as an abomination which makes Chucky indeed an outrage against nature, suggesting Chucky's particular branch of Damballa worship was heretical, (befitting his status as a serial-killer). The veve of Damballah comprises 2 serpents prominent among other emblems. Damballa is the sky deity and considered the primordial creator of all life. In Voodoo tradition, Damballa (also known as Damballah and Damballah Weddo) is one of the most important of all spirit gods called the loa (also spelled "lwa").
