S2 Ep25: Marie Laveau

Marie Laveau was known as the Voodoo Queen. Aspects to her practice include, Mamba, Witch, Root Worker, Vodun, Hoodoo, and conjure work. She was a master herbalist and helped heal her community through many epidemics of yellow fever. In her spare time, she visited inmates in prison to make sure they had food and clothes. She also taught many classes to teach women of other ethnicities and color how to read and write.

She was born in New Orleans in 1801 and grew in popularity through her hair salon where she catered to the wealthy families of New Orleans. She developed a reputation for being loving and affectionate all the while laying the groundwork for women practicing the healing arts. Marie is an inspiration for all witches who have followed in her footsteps.
