she was a free person of color. she was a hair dresser for the wealthy white families by occupation as was her daughter Marie Laveau the second. she was indeed a Voodoo priestess. but she was never a slave. her mother was a slave and her father a plantation owner.
4:45 The truth is she probably did something for the judge before (cast a spell etc) and he paid her back by freeing the guy who was up for murder. She also may have known some dark secret that the judge did not want known.
From what I understood, the first Marie's mother was an African woman who taught her everything she knew. I think this Marie was the most famous, but of course, her daughter, also named Marie lived off her famous name and likely took credit for much of her mother's "work"
Some Voodoo practitioners do not like my Church, because we practice Voodoo, only we scrape away every bit of Christianity and replace it with Celto-Nordic Paganism and Wicca. We do dances, Loa rides and ceremonies, blending raw African Paganism with Western ritual magick, Druidism, Bhangi (carnivorous) Hinduism and no little amount of Zen Taoism. Many "official" Voodoo people don't like that and consider us outcastes, just like approx. 89.54% of all Wiccans, Pagans, Hindus and Satanists. Bummer
Gris gris or mojo hand can contain so much more , and the narrator made mistake it can be a part of both Hoodoo and Voodoo.
He said ingredients are not crucial , well there is mistake , each of the ingeredients contains part of "universal spirit" so the mojo can be only supercharged. Oh and red guinea peppers are used to create confusion aswell , among other things so this could have been what confused the judge , especily when "prayed over" or in this case on them lol as they were in mouths
@miloradvlaovic im from new orleans just to let you know there are many different meanings yes but in this case in new orleans guinea peppers was her sign of suffering in this case voodoo is very important and in how you use voodoo is important to in this case she freed the man which was good but that could be bad for her and she was willing to suffer for him which if you know you will suffer from someone else but she wanted to help him so she suffered which made him set the man free
Come on be nice for once! The need to fuel your argument with such puny rhetoric is evidence of its weakness.Suck that fact!..lol i like your screen name though what does it stand for? i am asking nicely....
Now you want to be nice after insulting my intelligence? You're very hypocritical, you know that! My name is...for people I respect and you sure, after you remarks towards me, damn sure haven't earned it.
Insulting your intelligence?" well remember who said these words first"Fuck you!!" and now i am the hypocritical one coz i responded to your insult!! i dont think its got anything to do with respect coz you cant respect one you dont know i am trying to move past all that why cant you? coz you obviously have a grudge.
So do you want to move on and start all over or do you want to start a new argument?We could move on on your terms if you want? I am trying to be nice dont ruin it.
You insulted me first mind you, look at your own responses. I didn't start cursing until you started to insult my intelligence, then my mother. You ARE A HYPOCRITE!! You couldn't talk to me without calling me stupid or inferior. Unless you can say you were wrong for how talked down to me, I don't have to be nice , AT ALL!!
You first text to me starts with"you are very ignorant" i m not so to me that was an insult to my intelligence maybe not to you but it was to me and thats the only reason why i insulted yours back,thats not being a hypocrite.But i dont care who started what! coz i just dont care about that.
I dont think i was wrong but like i said i will start again on your terms! so i withdraw what i said about your iq and your mother"je m excuse!" Now lets see if you`re big enough to do the same! Peace..
I may have said your were ignorant, I' am sorry for that, but making a nasty comment about my own mother and herpes doesn't justify anything. I can take comments at me but do not bring my family into this. Sorry, but I don't think HOW you responsed to me was called for.
I can say the same thing about cussing! you could have just insult my intellingence too there was no need to cuss.But as i previously said i may have been out line,i am not justifying nothing i am simply saying sorry.Can we start all over now!!
I posted it here a long time ago, but I will repeat myself. The woman who claimes it doesn't doesn't matter what you put into a gris-gris is completely wrong. Each item used is symbolic of something, be it for love, luck, money, protection, or revenge.
Falc your so historically incorrect, I don't know where to begin ? One Marie's mother ( Margarita) was Mulatto(African/French) .Margarit's mother was from The Democratic Republic of the Congo a country in central Africa not Sainte Domingue .Con.
Won't take my word for it Falc ?Read historian Friedrich's book titled ,"The Power of Marie Laveau" .He's the person who discovered Maries birth record ...Fail, ha..
You forgot about Spanish,yes she was a free person of color but her mother and grandmother came from Sainte Domingue ,creoles of color never mixed with slaves,their women were famous for their exotic beauty,when the frenchmen from Sainte Domingue fled ,they took with them their creole mistresses and their children,some of these creole of color were only 1/64 african blood a lot of them passed as blanc to have a better life.
In the U.S. it was the one drop of African blood makes you black , in South Africa they used the pencil test , in other country's different methods . Con
Mulatto's mixed with none mulatto's also .A Lot of the "creoles" as you called them were slaves themselves .Who was a "Free person of color" wasn't a absolute and depended on different issues.A Lot of these mixed people were forced into relationships (a lot raped) or they could face punishment from their white slave owners . The bottom line is she was African,French and some Indian , so get over your delusions and stop trying to rewrite history .
before you say white slave owners remember this white in color is" not fair to say"but what nationality where the slave owners.Don't just say white O.K.
Murder what the hell is your problem ? When did I ever say " most slave owners weren't white " ? I said some slave owners were African American .However, not so much for the same reason as their white counter parts .Meaning they owned slaves to keep family's together .Before you run your big fucken mouth at least know what others including your self is talking about .Without the third grade banter .
So I'm sorry if you were offended and misunderstood my intentions . Also sorry for all the broken writting but y.t.'s comment section problems sucks ass .
Octoroon is the offpring of a quadroon and a white parent ,Marie had a quadroon mother and a white father,actually she looked like an spanish lady in looks.Being a creole she had nothing to do with slaves, creoles were a total world apart.
Fal the term creole has a broad usage .Louisiana's Creole People (Creoles of Color) are of mixed (mainly) French, African-American, and Native American heritage .If slaves had nothing to do with creole why did she have to be born a free person of color ?
The rest of creoles who remained in Louisiana were a very close knit society whom will never allow their children to marry people who were slaves or darker.Marie as a creole despised american who did not know how to differentiate betwwen a black and a quadroon.She knew how to speak English but rather not to.
As far as " close knit society whom will never allow their children to marry people who were slaves or darker "Complete nonsense .According too a historian Friedrich's book titled ,"The Power of Marie Laveau" .He stated," Marie was not ashamed of either her African or French heritage" .Con.

I am from Louisiana and still live there. I took a trip to New Orleans for an art festival with my dad and we stepped into this African-hinted art shop. The lady there was dressed in African garb. Around the place was a skull, candles, and strange "natural" ornaments. We did not feel right so we left. 30 min later the woman came straight to us way down the street among the large crowds to relate a message. Now how on earth could she have found us?? :O
Marie LaVeau was half black, white with some indian blood you dumb shit .She was the daughter of Charles Laveau and Marguerite Darcantrel .Charles Laveaue was a plantation owner .Stop trying to rewrite history and stick to video games and becoming less of a virgin, ha..?
THANK YOU! ... I wish some people take their time to read our history ...especially about the voodoo Queen! ...they should becareful how to express their words.. warn you once, twice warn you NOT!
Maire Leveaux wasnt black. She was Ocataroon Creole-and she wasnt the off spring of a slave and a plantation owner. She was the Dtr of 2 Creoles of Color that lives in Marigny. The history channel is racist.
So, I'm pretty sure Marie Laveau didn't wear them long fake acrylics. Other than that, I think she's cool to have made a name for herself in that day and age. It seems women back then were only famous if they were hoores.
uhm hi, i'm looking at this video because i have to do a project on her not that you care, lol but i just wanted to say that I'm not a believe or voodou but I respect your religion because a lot of people are being rude and stuff and it's not cool. You don't know where you're gonna end up, heaven, hell, possibly nowhere; that's not up to you. I think everyone should respect these peoples' religion because other people respect your. Thanks xD
She was probably the greatest american witch to ever lived in this continent,she was also a very beautiful woman,tall,regal and statauesque,long black curly hair down to the waist,dark almond shaped eyes,of an olive complexion with a slight red tinge to it ,defining at least an indian ancestor,lips full and very red,she bore 15 children to Glapion she was his common law wife.Born in 1794 died June 1881.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dangerous. Satan the devil, demons and associates: «There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium, a professional foreteller of events, or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to God, » Bible (De 18: 10 -12).
Go away, bible-banger. It's your sick people who were responsible for the heinous crime of slavery. Marie Laveau was a liberator. The Jesus you promote today is weeping over how you have perverted his Jewish, freeing teachings. He was a great magician---like Marie.
CeliaxReno you are very rude and very immature. You should read before you make nasty little comments. It is GLAPION and I said he was here common law husband. Her legal husband's last name was Paris. That is why she is also known as the Widow Paris. If you cannot say anything kind, it is best you say nothing at all. Don't send me any more e-mails. I like to speak with intellectuals, not with individuals who are rude, crude, and feel that need attention. Have a nice day.
The clip didn't mention her work with prostitutes. She would arrange for the elite men of the city to meet with her girls, then blackmail them.
She also used slave/servant informants to blackmail other higher-ups. Through fear of her magic and extortion, she had most of the city under her thumb.
It is called Voudun.The religion is called One of the family of African/Cuban syncretic religions, Vodoun is a form of African tribal religion brought to the Caribbean by African slaves from the Dahomey region, combined with elements of Christianity. Not to be confused with 'Voodoo,' a Hollywood caricature of the religion.
Thanks for that. The term "voodoo" is my main criticism of this short piece. I think they use the term because it is more familiar to people, but still, it should have been clarified.
'The ingrediants are not the key thing' with regard to gris-gis, rather the intention? -BS!!!!!!! This woman don't know jack. If you want a real gris-gris or mojo, email me. Made with real ingrediants and not trash, ie. beans and starch, thrown in a bag!!!!
you must not know anything about magic, spells or vodou. The intention and the belief in it, is what gives it its power. I know, im a vodou practitioner myself.
Then obviously you don't know nothing of Voodou. The belief is one thing, but it's not the only thing. You don't throw crap together and sell it as a charm. Instead, you use traditional items that have magical reputations. Every item has a traidtional symbolic meaning.
oh please. if you only knew. Also, do you know what symbolic means? idiot! They are symbolic because you are the one that gives the intention. What something may symbolize for you, may symbolize something else for another!!!! DUH! You know nothing, of that Im sure.
ha! keep counting those days for in hell all vodoo worshipers are in torment and if you do not accept christ you will join them.Change please b4 its too late.
Long live the beautiful rich tradition of Vodou!!! There is no messiah....God is pure positive energy! There is no hell! Isn't that good to know? Live in peace and happiness! Lets enjoy this physical world! all is well.

Congo Square has been renamed to Louis Armstrong park by the typical racist and ignorant people in New Orleans.

Maire Leveaux wasnt black. She was Ocataroon Creole-and she wasnt the off spring of a slave and a plantation owner. She was the Dtr of 2 Creoles of Color that lives in Marigny. The history channel is racist.

So, I'm pretty sure Marie Laveau didn't wear them long fake acrylics. Other than that, I think she's cool to have made a name for herself in that day and age. It seems women back then were only famous if they were hoores.

uhm hi, i'm looking at this video because i have to do a project on her not that you care, lol but i just wanted to say that I'm not a believe or voodou but I respect your religion because a lot of people are being rude and stuff and it's not cool. You don't know where you're gonna end up, heaven, hell, possibly nowhere; that's not up to you. I think everyone should respect these peoples' religion because other people respect your. Thanks xD

Dangerous. Satan the devil, demons and associates: «There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium, a professional foreteller of events, or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to God, » Bible (De 18: 10 -12).

Aye aye.. And believably so, a form of Voudon has its roots in Catholicism at that; Known as Santaria.

Go away. If you worship Jesus, then find video's that pertain to your religion. We don't need you trolling for controversy.

Go away, bible-banger. It's your sick people who were responsible for the heinous crime of slavery. Marie Laveau was a liberator. The Jesus you promote today is weeping over how you have perverted his Jewish, freeing teachings. He was a great magician---like Marie.

CeliaxReno you are very rude and very immature. You should read before you make nasty little comments. It is GLAPION and I said he was here common law husband. Her legal husband's last name was Paris. That is why she is also known as the Widow Paris. If you cannot say anything kind, it is best you say nothing at all. Don't send me any more e-mails. I like to speak with intellectuals, not with individuals who are rude, crude, and feel that need attention. Have a nice day.

The clip didn't mention her work with prostitutes. She would arrange for the elite men of the city to meet with her girls, then blackmail them.
She also used slave/servant informants to blackmail other higher-ups. Through fear of her magic and extortion, she had most of the city under her thumb.

undacovaplaya81 3 years ago
It is called Voudun.The religion is called One of the family of African/Cuban syncretic religions, Vodoun is a form of African tribal religion brought to the Caribbean by African slaves from the Dahomey region, combined with elements of Christianity. Not to be confused with 'Voodoo,' a Hollywood caricature of the religion.
cassopia09 3 years ago
Thanks for that. The term "voodoo" is my main criticism of this short piece. I think they use the term because it is more familiar to people, but still, it should have been clarified.

'The ingrediants are not the key thing' with regard to gris-gis, rather the intention? -BS!!!!!!! This woman don't know jack. If you want a real gris-gris or mojo, email me. Made with real ingrediants and not trash, ie. beans and starch, thrown in a bag!!!!
BoyintheMachine 4 years ago
you must not know anything about magic, spells or vodou. The intention and the belief in it, is what gives it its power. I know, im a vodou practitioner myself.
unbelievaabblle 3 years ago
Then obviously you don't know nothing of Voodou. The belief is one thing, but it's not the only thing. You don't throw crap together and sell it as a charm. Instead, you use traditional items that have magical reputations. Every item has a traidtional symbolic meaning.
BoyintheMachine 3 years ago
oh please. if you only knew. Also, do you know what symbolic means? idiot! They are symbolic because you are the one that gives the intention. What something may symbolize for you, may symbolize something else for another!!!! DUH! You know nothing, of that Im sure.
