Marie Laveau became the most famous and powerful Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.
She was respected and feared by all. Voodoo in New Orleans was a blend of West African religion and Catholicism.
It is believed that you can come to Marie's tomb and ask for something.
She accepts money, cigars, white rum and candy as offerings.
Appeals must be made 3 times with full concentration.
In voodoo it is believed that when a Voodoo Queen dies her spirit re-enters the river of life and moves to the next realm, adjacent to this one.
Her spirit will always be here, close at hand, in New Orleans. To this day, people still visit her tomb with the hope that she will grant their wishes." Midge, tour guide for Hoodoo Tours, LTD in Voodoo on the Bayou
"Marie Laveau was a voodooienne. She was the queen of them all.”
