does anyone have any personal experince with the Lwa?

just out of interest. basically for a short summary. for many years I have been a Polytheistic and Pantheistic Pagan, following a Traditional Witchcraft path, but increasingly aware of the parallels between my ancestral path and that of New Orleans style Voodoo. when asking a good friend of mine for advice on some magical help with a moment of financial difficulty, she gave me a recipe for a Voodoo floorwash, and recommended I listen to Dr Johns Litanie des Saintes, and raise the Lwa, asking for their help. that night I had very complex dreams, where the strongest remaining detail was that I was able to swim like a snake. on my belly, and on the surface of the water, rather than in the water, and very fast. in a swampy, bayou type setting. I was showing people where they could safely walk through the swamp, but I was able to swim the open water. this and other dreams are pointing very strongly to the influence of Papa Legba. within days, between my husband and I, we had nearly £200 in money from unexpected sources, meaning that we are back on the level financially. and the interesting dreams continue. along with what is coming across very strongly as requests for a shrine. the more I research Papa Legba, the more I am seeing his influence. and it's a very exciting prospect. my friend, after the success I had, said that it's unusual to be as successful with the Lwa, just like that. and in her words "they done adopted your sweet lil a s s" so I was wondering, as this influence on my personal path is new but definitely getting much stronger, if anyone else had any personal experiences with the Lwa, any advice, or any stories of their own to help me progress with this. many thanks to anyone that responds well. I expect there will be plenty who miss the point of it entirely.
