I would recommend performing rituals to Erzulie. Erzulie is not a lwa of elemental forces, but of ideal dreams, hopes and aspirations as well as love. However, before performing rituals to any lwa, you must first open the gate to the spirit world. This is done through a ceremony to Legba, the gatekeeper. I can provide you with instructions to open the gate, as well as text and/or audio of the incantation (I will add these to the wiki also). Once the gate is opened, you can communicate to your desired lwa of choice. I would advise seeing a houngan before going too deep into it, but practicing on ones own is fine. As for death and the afterlife, it varies. Some Haitians believe in reincarnation as do the people of West Africa. Others believe that when you die you go to the underwater home of the Lwa. Others believe in a heaven like paradise. I'd say it depends on a variety of factors but wouldn't necessarily say any options are false. All rivers lead to the ocean.
