Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans



The Mother of New Orleans Voodoo, Marie Laveaux. This is my artistic interpretation of her ritual symbol. Known in her day as the "Boss Woman", Marie Laveaux was both respected and feared for her awesome womanly power. People from all walks of life used to seek out Mam'zelle's assistance for help with breaking hexes and uncrossing crossed conditions because they had every confidence in her ability to help them.
