I have been “Binge “ watching your videos!!! Love y’all’s energy ❤️!!! My birthday is in October would love to go for a haunted tour or a voodoo tour! Is this possible with Robbie and the young lady didn’t get her name.
Thank you guys so much for getting back to me I really do hope someday I'll get to meet y'all in person. But as I'm one that's a bit tight on money, it'll be a bit aka I'm 1broke chick lol. But my guy and I hope to visit the beautiful Gulf Coast area soon and take a tour. Oh & I've watched a few of you videos the 1st one was with Mr. Robbie and Andrew and the explanation of voodoo. :) Well from all the way in good ole land of dairy of Wisconsin Howdy & take care guys!
Glad that you enjoyed the video and the lack of sugar coating. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.
i absolutely love Robi, he has added so much to this already wonderful channel! I hope Sandy is going to be a regular too, love her sarcastic sense of humor! Makes me want to revisit New Orleans..so much I didn't know. Thank you!!
I lived at 1022 for years. I actually hung the address tiles you see on the house. Anne Cusomano owned that property for years. It's the only property I've I've in that I never seen or felt any spirit. I loved this video
I get the good feeling that Marie was simply an introverted woman of color who maybe was raised in the Voodoo traditions. Rumors tend to spread about introverted people. From my understanding, this is how a lot of urban legends begin. A misunderstood female introvert who became a local pariah.
I’m really impressed with the knowledge and how comfortable you both seem in front of the camera. Where has Sandy been hiding? Lol, my partner and I are loving her! Of course we are getting a picture with Robi when we get to New Orleans! We were going to come to town in December but due to my health issues(having both hips replaced) we are putting off any trips for a year. All you guys have been such a joy to me as I navigate this healthcare journey, thank you, somehow Robi, Andrew and Sandy have transitioned from tour guide to dear friends.
I love the enegy of Robi so much. Seems like such a kind-hearted sweetie! & Sandi's passion and knowledge is awe inspiring. Watching both of them made my heart flutter with joy
And thank you for subscribing. Please, check out some of our other free virtual tours. th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html. Both Robi and Sandi are in a few other videos.
My sister and I took Sandy's Voodoo tour when we were in New Orleans this past April (2021) and it was incredible! I would highly recommend going on her tour, if you liked this video and want to learn more about Voodoo.
Thank you for spreading the work, Gretchen! Hopefully, you can check out our virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.
Love theses! I’m visiting Nola for the first time in a week! Feel so connected with Nola even though I’ve never been. My ancestors are definitely calling me. I practice a little hoodoo.
We are glad you enjoyed the video. We also hope to show you around New Orleans when you get here. You can browse our tour selection here freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours/. Have a great trip.
@Rachel Johnson Hello! Well, it's just like any other spiritual practice. It can help with manifestation, self-love, money, etc. but just like with anything, people can/will use it for bad. I stay away from those types of rituals because of Big Sister named Karma.
Watching this again in 2023 through tears. I was born in Mobile, Alabama but have lived off and on in NOLA my whole life. I miss it so much. Watching the dusk fall over Bayou St. John twisted something inside my heart. I love you guys. Keep being wonderful. ⚜️
Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I lived in New Orleans for 41 years, and this video was very enlightening. It cleared up a lot of my misconceptions perpetuated by tour guides for the sake of making money. I actually performed several wedding ceremonies at her supposed tomb.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Glad that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
Thank you Sandy for your keen ability to critically assess historic information, and put into useful perspective. You are incredible with understanding people, hierarchy societies.
You two are amazing together! Met Robi in person during a vodou tour with him and he’s incredibly animated and memorable. Would love to take a tour with sandi in person.
Love you guys! I’ve been waiting on a lesson like this! My wife and I were in New Orleans this past weekend, I wanted to take Robi’s tour, but my wife doesn’t like to get up early smh. We’ll be back in July for my birthday, I will definitely be taking your tour.
I could listen to Sandy speak all day... Such a lovely accent!! Y'all know if Lafayette Cemetery is still closed? It's been closed "for repairs" for at least a year now...
I was just there last week and it was not open...Lafayette cemetary was "closed for repairs"...st louis cemetary number 1&2 was locked to visitors, as well....I finally found cemetaries that were open on my out of town going home
I love how close you all seem, the family feel brings me back to this channel. It feels like I can trust you all, I have studied the Christian faith for years and your videos have opened my eyes and heart to respecting and learning about everyones religion. Love your videos so much, thanks for breaking the stereotypes.
I really enjoyed this honest and open view of what was known (or rumored ) about Marie Laveau. To me she was a woman a mother and a daughter . Where ever she was laid to rest ,I hope she is resting peacefully . My thanks to our guides for educating us on this woman's life :)
I've been waiting for a video by NOLA natives to explain and breakdown the facts and fiction about Marie. She's such a mystery and legend. Thank you for this!⚜🖤
Thanks for watching, Ashe! If you haven't already done so, please check out our Voodoo Tour video th-cam.com/video/aksVg8mNtPg/w-d-xo.html. If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please do share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I’m 2 videos in and now I gotta binge watch them all!!! New Orleans is my fav city and I can’t wait to come back and do both Robi and Sandy’s tours 😊 Y’all are great, I’ve learned so much in such a short time.
Glad that you enjoyed the video K. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.There is more where this came from.
I was in New Orleans a couple weeks ago and took a random carriage tour just to get off my feet. We passed by Louis Armstrong park and saw Robi giving a tour. I was like omg that's him I watch his videos haha. I def want a tour by you guys when I go back down there
I'm so glad I found this channel. I've been trying to figure out and learn about my family and ancestors and where to start and what I remember being taught as a little girl back when my grandpa would tell me about the symbols, instruments and figures he had. Following lockdown due to the pandemic and over the past couple years, I chose to stop staying in contact with family especially after losing three of my grandparents. So as times gone by and as I'm understanding more about my ethnic background, Im overjoyed when I find creators who have educational videos . I was Mormon by choice up until age...24. I was introduced to paganism which served as a starting point to re learning about spirituality and felt a pull towards learning about Hoodoo and Voodoo. So many things I came across are the same as the things my grandfather taught me and things that side of the family did that I never quite understood. I've slowly been teaching myself over the past couple years. So all in all, I simply mean to say thank you for helping me understanding a few things better and make connections to things I remember from my childhood (mostly in the A Day In The Life vid) I subscribed and will make a note to revisit this channel tomorrow when I'm not feeling quite so off. With Love, Ray
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Phyllis. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html. Glad we could provide you with a little piece of home.
I really love watching videos with Robi. He has the most wonderful energy! I could listen to these two forever. Sandy does an incredible job as well! What a great team they make. This is so informative, and makes me look forward to my June trip even more! Thank you so much!✨
Thanks again for watching Kate! Glad you liked our videos so much. If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I would love to do a tour with the gentleman in the video. His spirit seems so pleasant and genuine. Very nice guy. I cannot wait until I visit New Orleans. I love learning about their history! Sandy seems sweet also❤

I think this is one of my favorite tours done by Free Tours By Foot (NOLA). Loved it, learned even more than I thought I already knew & I look forward to learning more. Love the blending of Robi's knowledge of Voodou & Sandy's knowledge of history. Well done!
Robi, Sandy and Andrew you three are so amazing. I love how you put myths to bed.. I have read books on her that I always wanted to know the truth. Thank you for that. I am from Texas but I love Louisiana and the wonderful things in New Orleans.. I lived here 21 years ago and recently moved back.. Again, many thanks to you'll. I enjoy you'll so much. Stay blessed.

Very enjoyable. I attended a convention there during August. Went on evening walking tours. I was sure I was going to sweat to death. I couldn't carry enough bittles of water. I'm sure the convention cost less because it was held in August. My daughter couldn't believe it when she discovered our hotel was at the corner of Canal and Bourbon. May be the only time she thought I must be an important person to stay at that hotel.

Robi and Sandy you guys should write a book .My grandmother practiced voodoo and I didn't get a chance to learn from her before she died. Thank you for the videos it means so much ❤

Great storytelling! I so appreciate your passion and knowledge I mean very few people could do this as well as you all. If I was asked to talk about my area I would struggle to piece together two sentences! Keep it up guys! Thank you Robi, Sandy, Andrew and James
I love this video. I need to see more of you two and Andrew. The 3 of you need to do a tour together. All the vodon spots, all the haunted history, and all the really popular homes.

From what I read Madame Marie Laveau was the daughter of Charles Laveau, a European American of French origin and a memeber Louisiana Creole ethnic group. Marie's mother Marguerite D' Arcantrel was a Free Colored Woman of African, French European, and Choctaw Native American ancestry.
Also, her birthday was said to have been September 10th and her birth year was 1794. Actually she and Henriette DeLille were cousins through Cecile Labat, a Haitian immigrant. I learned of that from a Netflix documentary called "In Our Mother's Garden". The woman who stated that was Dr. Koko Zauditu Selassie.
Very informative. I’m from New Orleans and I’m certain I know Sandy from somewhere, but I can’t think where we met. It’ll come to me eventually. Great job y’all.
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Genevieve. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html. And let us know if you remember.

I really enjoyed this video. One point that would be interesting to know is whether the particular tomb that was so frequently vandalized and where people often burned candles is really the tomb of the original Marie Laveau or that of her daughter (also known as Marie Laveau). Everything I have read online and also in books about New Orleans indicates it is actually the tomb of the daughter who is said to have practiced Voodoo too. However, I have also read that there are actually two Laveau tombs in St. Louis No. 1 cemetery, so it would be interesting to know more about the other Laveau tomb and whether there is any possibility of it being the tomb of the original Marie Laveau. Also, I don't find any contradiction in a practitioner of voodoo being baptised or buried in a Roman Catholic church or cemetery for that time period. Just as enslaved peoples from West Africa who went to Spanish colonies in the New World disguised the spirits of their native religion with Spanish Catholicism (especially using representations of the saints) so that they could continue their religious practices, a religious practice known to this day as Santeria throughout Latin America, those peoples enslaved by the French did the same thing by infusing their native religion with French Catholicism to continue a religious practice still known and practiced as Voodoo to this day in former French colonies in the New World. Isn't Voodoo essentially the same as Santeria, one being practiced in former French colonies and the other in former Spanish colonies? I'm certainly no expert, but I have spent a lot of time in these places and always want to learn more. Thank you for a fascinating video.
Thanks for watching, Ryan! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please do share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
That was the most interesting ,informative and fun explanation of Marie Laveau I've ever heard. I have read or heard so many tales of who she was ,what she was and what I know is she was a woman just like me . After that she became legendary for many reasons true or false as they may be. Now I hope she is at peace and I wish her well .

I love your channel and the history you share with us. I never thought writing on someone's tomb was an appropriate thing to do. Glad I never did, but I'll leave her some tobacco. I'm so happy to be moving back home next week to New Orleans.
Thanks for sharing your research and history of this woman. Plus also clarifying how people of color were perceived back then, including how catholic and voodoo religions worship. I just heard about this woman by my sister-in-law who wanted to go visit her grave, etc. so I have been doing research, then came across your informative video! Thank you for sharing this. P.S. I have a small tip (single mama) for you both who are so awesome at what you do!
We HAVE to take a tour with 1 or both of you on our next visit!! We just came home yesterday from our first trip there & are planning a future longer 2nd trip already! Absolutely loved it. We appreciate all your posted content
Marie Laveau's first husband, Jacques Paris died in 1823. He also was known by his middle name, Santiago or St. Yago as that name was occasionally documented as. His other name Santiago may be a Spanish translation of his French middle name. Perhaps, he may have been half or part Hispanic and that was why his middle name was Santiago.

When I was there back in 1997, one of the tour guides mentioned that the local Police Department was reportedly terrified of her and what she could do to them. She also used to preside or officiate (take your pick) over the Saturday night dances of the slaves in the Place Congo (now Congo Square in the Louis Armstrong Park) at the end of Orleans Street just north of Rampart Street. At around 6 p.m. each Saturday night, the white slave owners allowed their black slaves to enjoy themselves at the "Dance in Place Congo." There is a symphonic poem of the same name composed by Henry Gilbert in 1908 which depicts many of the dances including the "Bamboula" and other Cakewalks popular at the time. The festivities would reach fever pitch and then a bell or chime would be struck at 9:00 p.m. calling the slaves back to their quarters. The dramatic music at the end depicts the rage of the slaves at having their fun stopped so abruptly as they run away home. If you can find a recording of it, it is well worth hearing.
And I just painted the wall next to the Banksy Umbrella Girl recently with the fully colorful mural. I love this area, and I need to go back more. Right on North Rampart and Kerlerec st. The history is thick, and the essence still remains.
Robi is a national treasure. His myth busting while being a spellbinding speaker is an absolute treat. Lovely to meet Sandy! She's very knowledgeable, witty and dapper. I miss New Orleans so much. Can anyone tell me if the restaurant Rebellion is still open?

High Priest Robi is so awesome!! I loved his Voodoo tour. I actually walked past this location and lots of hair ties were left on the gate as Marie LaVeau was also a hairdresser

I found this site by accident. Netflix has a special about New Orleans, Vodoo, Hurricane Katrina & dark forces that exist there & that they can enter people?. This ladies name was mentioned so I looked her up & I so appreciate getting real information. My sister lived there & actually passed away some time after Katrina. I miss her dearly. I would love to see any special on the actual history of Vodoo Religeon & practices. I did read that Vodoo & Catholicism are combined? Racism explains a lot as far as how anything can be changed from reality to fear based persecution.

I am so glad I found your page! I have wanted to visit New Orleans and Louisiana in general for so long! Your videos (I'm slowly working through all of them lol) have solidified my want/need to visit! My ancestors were Acadians and African Americans from the area so I have been drawn there for so long! I'd love to speak with Robi as well (former Santeria here). I can't wait to finally visit!
We are glad you are enjoying these videos, Tracey. We also hope to show you around New Orleans when you get here. You can browse our tour selection here freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours/.
I was born in New Orleans. I had very famous parents and would love to ask you to do a little remembering about them. They were very loved in New Orleans. Lorraine and Marcel Boyer. The Boyer s French pastry shop. On benefit street. We lost everything with hurricane Betsy. Due to that I live in Spain. Thank you so much if this is possible.

Thank y’all so much loved it🖤
I am coming down in march after Mardi gra from Canada. I really appreciate these videos. I don't want a touristy stay.
I know I'm super late to the party, however....I think the bloopers were my absolute favorite part of this video 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you guys so much for getting back to me I really do hope someday I'll get to meet y'all in person. But as I'm one that's a bit tight on money, it'll be a bit aka I'm 1broke chick lol. But my guy and I hope to visit the beautiful Gulf Coast area soon and take a tour. Oh & I've watched a few of you videos the 1st one was with Mr. Robbie and Andrew and the explanation of voodoo. :) Well from all the way in good ole land of dairy of Wisconsin Howdy & take care guys!

Yeah that was refreshing👏🏽...Sandy ur a natural gul🖤
We did a tour with her while there, she’s great
About time y'all finally put Sandy in a video. She's a legendary New Orleans tour guide, an early mentor of mine, and an amazing artist.
We weren't holding off on putting her in videos.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ Not meant as a slight to you, just a compliment to her :)
Hey its atun shea!
i absolutely love Robi, he has added so much to this already wonderful channel! I hope Sandy is going to be a regular too, love her sarcastic sense of humor! Makes me want to revisit New Orleans..so much I didn't know. Thank you!!
YASSS!
I lived at 1022 for years. I actually hung the address tiles you see on the house. Anne Cusomano owned that property for years. It's the only property I've I've in that I never seen or felt any spirit. I loved this video
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that. Nice to see viewers with connections.
💙💚💛💜🤎🧡❤🧡🤎💜
I get the good feeling that Marie was simply an introverted woman of color who maybe was raised in the Voodoo traditions. Rumors tend to spread about introverted people. From my understanding, this is how a lot of urban legends begin. A misunderstood female introvert who became a local pariah.
We hope you enjoyed the video. If so, you might like our voodoo video th-cam.com/video/aksVg8mNtPg/w-d-xo.html.
I'm introverted and have been labeled many things by people who didn't know me
I’m really impressed with the knowledge and how comfortable you both seem in front of the camera. Where has Sandy been hiding? Lol, my partner and I are loving her! Of course we are getting a picture with Robi when we get to New Orleans! We were going to come to town in December but due to my health issues(having both hips replaced) we are putting off any trips for a year. All you guys have been such a joy to me as I navigate this healthcare journey, thank you, somehow Robi, Andrew and Sandy have transitioned from tour guide to dear friends.
Todd. I've passed on your comment. This means a lot to use. We hope you recover sooner rather than later and we all look forward to meeting you.
Best wishes for successful surgery 🙏❤😎
I will be in NOLA I a few days. I just can’t wait to meet you.
THANK YOU for being respectful of the cemetery and the historic tombs within and for educating the public of the sanctity of these properties!
We also have a video tour of a cemetery in case you are interested.
I love the enegy of Robi so much. Seems like such a kind-hearted sweetie! & Sandi's passion and knowledge is awe inspiring. Watching both of them made my heart flutter with joy
We need more videos from these two together. They're so much fun to watch together!
We are working on it, Melissa.
And thank you for subscribing. Please, check out some of our other free virtual tours. th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html. Both Robi and Sandi are in a few other videos.
I was just thinking the same thing! Great combination of interesting facts and spontaneous hilarity.😂😂
I so appreciate the way you all break stereotypes and crush myths. You three are the triumvirate of intellectual awesomeness.
My sister and I took Sandy's Voodoo tour when we were in New Orleans this past April (2021) and it was incredible! I would highly recommend going on her tour, if you liked this video and want to learn more about Voodoo.
Thank you for spreading the work, Gretchen! Hopefully, you can check out our virtual tours of New Orleans th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.html.
Love theses! I’m visiting Nola for the first time in a week! Feel so connected with Nola even though I’ve never been. My ancestors are definitely calling me. I practice a little hoodoo.
We are glad you enjoyed the video. We also hope to show you around New Orleans when you get here. You can browse our tour selection here freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours/.
Have a great trip.
Definitely take a vodou tour with Robi when you get to Nola!
@Rachel Johnson Hello! Well, it's just like any other spiritual practice. It can help with manifestation, self-love, money, etc. but just like with anything, people can/will use it for bad. I stay away from those types of rituals because of Big Sister named Karma.
Pride in New Orleans July 4th
@@timothyreilly8394 LOL sure buddy. How about you worry about yourself.
Watching this again in 2023 through tears. I was born in Mobile, Alabama but have lived off and on in NOLA my whole life. I miss it so much. Watching the dusk fall over Bayou St. John twisted something inside my heart. I love you guys. Keep being wonderful. ⚜️
Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I lived in New Orleans for 41 years, and this video was very enlightening. It cleared up a lot of my misconceptions perpetuated by tour guides for the sake of making money. I actually performed several wedding ceremonies at her supposed tomb.

i love watching Robi lose it everytime Sandy says something funny. Joy.
I loved these two and the tour. 🖤
Thank you Sandy for your keen ability to critically assess historic information, and put into useful perspective. You are incredible with understanding people, hierarchy societies.
Wow, thank you!
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ You are always welcome!
You two are amazing together! Met Robi in person during a vodou tour with him and he’s incredibly animated and memorable. Would love to take a tour with sandi in person.
Love you guys! I’ve been waiting on a lesson like this! My wife and I were in New Orleans this past weekend, I wanted to take Robi’s tour, but my wife doesn’t like to get up early smh. We’ll be back in July for my birthday, I will definitely be taking your tour.
Happy early birthday wishes. See you in July!
Hearing about the Orisha's and Voudou touched my heart ❤ ...you guys are really educating the public and I luv u guys for it.
I could listen to Sandy speak all day... Such a lovely accent!! Y'all know if Lafayette Cemetery is still closed? It's been closed "for repairs" for at least a year now...
I was just there last week and it was not open...Lafayette cemetary was "closed for repairs"...st louis cemetary number 1&2 was locked to visitors, as well....I finally found cemetaries that were open on my out of town going home
As a native of New Orleans and a current tour guide, I loved this video and loved how they both learned something from one another ❤️⚜️
Glad you enjoyed it! This means a lot from us coming from a native tour guide.
I love how close you all seem, the family feel brings me back to this channel. It feels like I can trust you all, I have studied the Christian faith for years and your videos have opened my eyes and heart to respecting and learning about everyones religion. Love your videos so much, thanks for breaking the stereotypes.
New Orleans is on my bucket list and Sandy you'll be the first place I hit up for an awesome tour thank you guys
I really enjoyed this honest and open view of what was known (or rumored ) about Marie Laveau. To me she was a woman a mother and a daughter . Where ever she was laid to rest ,I hope she is resting peacefully . My thanks to our guides for educating us on this woman's life :)
Our pleasure, Mary-Anne.
I've been waiting for a video by NOLA natives to explain and breakdown the facts and fiction about Marie. She's such a mystery and legend. Thank you for this!⚜🖤

Y'all win youtube. 🐓
(Can I just say omg the technical talent, too)
Yes you can!
I was in New Orleans a couple weeks ago and took a random carriage tour just to get off my feet. We passed by Louis Armstrong park and saw Robi giving a tour. I was like omg that's him I watch his videos haha. I def want a tour by you guys when I go back down there
I was born and raised in Nola. Growing up, my family didn’t scare us with stories of the boogeyman. They told us Marie laveau stories
Marie and Rugaroo stories .It used to scare the shit out of us
I'm so glad I found this channel. I've been trying to figure out and learn about my family and ancestors and where to start and what I remember being taught as a little girl back when my grandpa would tell me about the symbols, instruments and figures he had. Following lockdown due to the pandemic and over the past couple years, I chose to stop staying in contact with family especially after losing three of my grandparents. So as times gone by and as I'm understanding more about my ethnic background, Im overjoyed when I find creators who have educational videos .
I was Mormon by choice up until age...24. I was introduced to paganism which served as a starting point to re learning about spirituality and felt a pull towards learning about Hoodoo and Voodoo. So many things I came across are the same as the things my grandfather taught me and things that side of the family did that I never quite understood. I've slowly been teaching myself over the past couple years. So all in all, I simply mean to say thank you for helping me understanding a few things better and make connections to things I remember from my childhood (mostly in the A Day In The Life vid) I subscribed and will make a note to revisit this channel tomorrow when I'm not feeling quite so off.
With Love,
Ray
Great job guys!!!! I’m so happy to see you all educating these folk about the spirits.

I think this is one of my favorite tours done by Free Tours By Foot (NOLA). Loved it, learned even more than I thought I already knew & I look forward to learning more. Love the blending of Robi's knowledge of Voodou & Sandy's knowledge of history. Well done!
PS - Does Sandy have a Paypal or Buy me a coffee account?
Robi, Sandy and Andrew you three are so amazing. I love how you put myths to bed.. I have read books on her that I always wanted to know the truth. Thank you for that. I am from Texas but I love Louisiana and the wonderful things in New Orleans..

Very enjoyable. I attended a convention there during August. Went on evening walking tours. I was sure I was going to sweat to death. I couldn't carry enough bittles of water. I'm sure the convention cost less because it was held in August. My daughter couldn't believe it when she discovered our hotel was at the corner of Canal and Bourbon. May be the only time she thought I must be an important person to stay at that hotel.
This is one of the best videos that has been done by your team!! I love it! Thanks for such factual information!!

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ Just watched the ghost tour. I've never thought about a NOLA vacation but I am now!
@@julie.1081 Yeah! We're doing something right.
Robi and Sandy you guys should write a book .My grandmother practiced voodoo and I didn't get a chance to learn from her before she died. Thank you for the videos it means so much ❤
There’s a conspiracy around New Orleans that Marie was actually immortal and that she’s living today.
Another great tour. I love the fact that Sandy's an Artist. Keep talking..what kind of Art? Your #1 fan in Oregon.
Thank you, Rayanne! I am a writer and painter. For the last few years, I have been moving into photography. - Sara

The knowledge you guys have is so impressive ! This is the best informational video I have seen on Marie
I love this video. I need to see more of you two and Andrew. The 3 of you need to do a tour together. All the vodon spots, all the haunted history, and all the really popular homes.

From what I read Madame Marie Laveau was the daughter of Charles Laveau, a European American of French origin and a memeber Louisiana Creole ethnic group. Marie's mother Marguerite D' Arcantrel was a Free Colored Woman of African, French European, and Choctaw Native American ancestry.
Charles Laveau was a the owner of a Plantation. Marguerite was Charles's mistress. It's possible that Marguerite was a former slave of Charles.
Also, her birthday was said to have been September 10th and her birth year was 1794. Actually she and Henriette DeLille were cousins through Cecile Labat, a Haitian immigrant. I learned of that from a Netflix documentary called "In Our Mother's Garden". The woman who stated that was Dr. Koko Zauditu Selassie.
Very informative. I’m from New Orleans and I’m certain I know Sandy from somewhere, but I can’t think where we met. It’ll come to me eventually. Great job y’all.

And let us know if you remember.
When I went to new orleans in 2018, i was told by a guide that you can no longer mark on the tomb, at the time it was being worked on and painted
So much going on, I couldn't make it on a proper voodoo tour but I love having reasons to come back!!!

I love your tours! 😄 I can't wait to visit New Orleans again and take a tour in person.
Please do, Janayn!
I really enjoyed this video. One point that would be interesting to know is whether the particular tomb that was so frequently vandalized and where people often burned candles is really the tomb of the original Marie Laveau or that of her daughter (also known as Marie Laveau). Everything I have read online and also in books about New Orleans indicates it is actually the tomb of the daughter who is said to have practiced Voodoo too. However, I have also read that there are actually two Laveau tombs in St. Louis No. 1 cemetery, so it would be interesting to know more about the other Laveau tomb and whether there is any possibility of it being the tomb of the original Marie Laveau. Also, I don't find any contradiction in a practitioner of voodoo being baptised or buried in a Roman Catholic church or cemetery for that time period. Just as enslaved peoples from West Africa who went to Spanish colonies in the New World disguised the spirits of their native religion with Spanish Catholicism (especially using representations of the saints) so that they could continue their religious practices, a religious practice known to this day as Santeria throughout Latin America, those peoples enslaved by the French did the same thing by infusing their native religion with French Catholicism to continue a religious practice still known and practiced as Voodoo to this day in former French colonies in the New World. Isn't Voodoo essentially the same as Santeria, one being practiced in former French colonies and the other in former Spanish colonies? I'm certainly no expert, but I have spent a lot of time in these places and always want to learn more. Thank you for a fascinating video.
Love this channel! The information/historical topics of Vodou & Marie Laveau are exceptional! Love You Robi!! Asè Ayibobo!!
Andrew & Sandy, Y’all have great energy as well, just sayin’!
Thanks for watching, Ryan! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please do share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
That was the most interesting ,informative and fun explanation of Marie Laveau I've ever heard. I have read or heard so many tales of who she was ,what she was and what I know is she was a woman just like me . After that she became legendary for many reasons true or false as they may be. Now I hope she is at peace and I wish her well .

Loved your explanation. Thank you. Discretion is the word you were looking for, but we love the one you used.
I love your channel and the history you share with us. I never thought writing on someone's tomb was an appropriate thing to do. Glad I never did, but I'll leave her some tobacco. I'm so happy to be moving back home next week to New Orleans.
Thanks for sharing your research and history of this woman. Plus also clarifying how people of color were perceived back then, including how catholic and voodoo religions worship. I just heard about this woman by my sister-in-law who wanted to go visit her grave, etc. so I have been doing research, then came across your informative video! Thank you for sharing this.
P.S. I have a small tip (single mama) for you both who are so awesome at what you do!
Our pleasure, Patricia. Hope you can watch some more of our back catalogue.
We HAVE to take a tour with 1 or both of you on our next visit!! We just came home yesterday from our first trip there & are planning a future longer 2nd trip already! Absolutely loved it. We appreciate all your posted content
Marie Laveau's first husband, Jacques Paris died in 1823. He also was known by his middle name, Santiago or St. Yago as that name was occasionally documented as. His other name Santiago may be a Spanish translation of his French middle name. Perhaps, he may have been half or part Hispanic and that was why his middle name was Santiago.
Yas finally! I was waiting for more voodoo videos!!! Thank you guys
Such a fun and informative video. Love Robi and Sandy together!

Thank you Robi and Sandy :) for the very informative and fun video! :)
When I was there back in 1997, one of the tour guides mentioned that the local Police Department was reportedly terrified of her and what she could do to them. She also used to preside or officiate (take your pick) over the Saturday night dances of the slaves in the Place Congo (now Congo Square in the Louis Armstrong Park) at the end of Orleans Street just north of Rampart Street. At around 6 p.m. each Saturday night, the white slave owners allowed their black slaves to enjoy themselves at the "Dance in Place Congo." There is a symphonic poem of the same name composed by Henry Gilbert in 1908 which depicts many of the dances including the "Bamboula" and other Cakewalks popular at the time. The festivities would reach fever pitch and then a bell or chime would be struck at 9:00 p.m. calling the slaves back to their quarters. The dramatic music at the end depicts the rage of the slaves at having their fun stopped so abruptly as they run away home. If you can find a recording of it, it is well worth hearing.
Thanks for the tip. Will look for it.
I'm going this week, I need to book a tour. Y'all are amazing.
Thank you. You can browse our tour selection here freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours/. Hopefully, you can take one of our tours.
And I just painted the wall next to the Banksy Umbrella Girl recently with the fully colorful mural. I love this area, and I need to go back more. Right on North Rampart and Kerlerec st. The history is thick, and the essence still remains.
Thanks for sharing.
Robi is a national treasure. His myth busting while being a spellbinding speaker is an absolute treat. Lovely to meet Sandy! She's very knowledgeable, witty and dapper. I miss New Orleans so much. Can anyone tell me if the restaurant Rebellion is still open?

We haven't but this is something to run by the team. Thanks for the suggestion.

You are welcome. Have you watched our Voodoo tour video yet?
I found this site by accident. Netflix has a special about New Orleans, Vodoo, Hurricane Katrina & dark forces that exist there & that they can enter people?. This ladies name was mentioned so I looked her up & I so appreciate getting real information. My sister lived there & actually passed away some time after Katrina. I miss her dearly. I would love to see any special on the actual history of Vodoo Religeon & practices. I did read that Vodoo & Catholicism are combined? Racism explains a lot as far as how anything can be changed from reality to fear based persecution.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. We are sorry for the loss of your sister.

I am so glad I found your page! I have wanted to visit New Orleans and Louisiana in general for so long! Your videos (I'm slowly working through all of them lol) have solidified my want/need to visit! My ancestors were Acadians and African Americans from the area so I have been drawn there for so long! I'd love to speak with Robi as well (former Santeria here). I can't wait to finally visit!

I was born in New Orleans. I had very famous parents and would love to ask you to do a little remembering about them. They were very loved in New Orleans. Lorraine and Marcel Boyer. The Boyer s French pastry shop. On benefit street. We lost everything with hurricane Betsy. Due to that I live in Spain. Thank you so much if this is possible.
We will look into this, Maria.
Thank you so much
This was So Entertaining! Robi, when you almost lost it when Sandy said “he kicks it” I lost it! I enjoyed the whole thing including the bloopers! 😆

Howdy. Loved it. Thank you. It launched my full-on Friday night history geek out fest. I'm just wanting to verify Sandy's tip details - just to be sure I'm not tipping a wrong Shester.
I love you both for speaking on this woman in the light that she deserves. Our hearts know who she was and is. 🙏💝
