It comes from Africa to New Orleans Louisiana even though the lands in New Orleans always been kind of creepy even before they built here.❤ Sending love form New Orleans❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is not her portrait. She never sat for a portrait or had her photograph taken. She also never had 15 kids. 7 is correct. She never was a hairdresser either. It wasn't Lake Ponchartrain, but Bayou St. John. Gris gris is pronounced, "gree gree." A New Orleans Voudou Priestess: The Legend and Reality of Marie Laveau' by Carolyn Morrow Long is the only entirely factual account of her life. Don't feel bad though as your account is actually more factually correct than most, but still repeats some myths known to be untrue. Marie would be very upset if she ever knew all the myths, fantasies and outright lies told about her that people used to sell newspapers and books.
Thank you for this feedback. Like I say in the video I don’t know 100% of the truthful accounts of how many children she had, I use multiple references and am very diligent to fact check the accuracy of what I present. And the Lake Pontchartrain I say “she held major ceremonies at Lake Pontchartrain, specifically a store called Bayou St. John”. Part of what makes these videos challenging is that intentionally pick figures that much of the background of there lives have been lost to history. So I feel it is my responsibility to bring there much deserved stories to life as accurately as I possibly can. I appreciate the acknowledgment that you feel so much is accurate. And please note that I used an artist’s rendition of Marie. And by by all means, if you have additional facts, please let me know! I would love to share more about her truly remarkable story!
Hey, thanks for sharing the book info on Marie Laveau's life story... I just bought it! I've lived in New Orleans for over 60 years, and I've heard a lot of folklore but really want to know more about the actual history of the many strong hearted women who walked the same streets so long ago. If you enjoy reading books about famous New Orleans women, check out the book Intimate Enemies: The Two Worlds of Baroness de Pontalba by Christina Vella it's a very informative and interesting read... Ms Vella was an adjunct professor of history at Tulane for many years.
My grandmother would put the gri gri on the dice when we played backgammon. I had to play her a dollar a game and win enough to go roller skating on the weekend. She was a good player but still would put the gri gri on the dice. I’d say no grandma don’t put the gri gri on the dice. Some people say juju but watch out for the gri gri.
If I may it came to Louisiana from the African slaves from present day Cameroon. Known as Vodun and not voodoo which is what it’s evolved into on this side of the ocean. Over there it basically is about there being various duties or gids that you can pray to for protection and help. Be good do good deeds and for the most part you don’t need to worry about the scary evil shit out there. If you’re bad do bad deeds and stuff like that you’ll eventually wind up getting into trouble with the powers that be and or the ones who enforce their societies rules laws. It’s important to note that there are priests or watchers that are undercover. They watch to see who’s bring good and who’s being bad and doing evil shit. One more thing any evil negative bad spells attempted to be placed on a person or curses can be reversed and thrown back at the source from whence it came. Do good be good for the most part you no need worry. Do evil, deliberately try to hurt others and you’ll see.

If you're watching this, you'll enjoy the movie "Skeleton Key".
Who is Mary? Marie's sister?
Mary is her daughter!
A Vieux Carre requires a lot of ice.
