Marie Laveau: The New Orleans Voodoo Queen (Occult History Explained)

Coven was the best AHS season..

Marie laveau was both a powerful practitioner and a political player.......... never forget....... knowledge is power.

Angela played the hell out of that Marie Laveau when I saw this I immediately had to watch. She was a real gangsta.

They’re saying it’s fake because they don’t want ya to believe in our own spirituality

I believe Marie Laveau was and still is a powerful well regarded Voodoo Priestess. Her aura seems to still be present here in New Orleans.

Wow Angela Bassett is so beautiful

Angela Bassett’s portrayal of her on AHS Coven was spectacular. That season was definitely one of the best.

I also believe in Marie LaVeau. Her spirit is a strong part of New Orleans and, of course, there are those who will try to turn her magical talent into something other than the magic it was. Magick is a combination of many things. I think Marie LaVeau was an intelligent spiritual woman who knew how to combine the magick with the information given to her by the many people with whom she interacted to create the results she and they wanted. But you still have to acknowledge an ability to connect with the Gods and spirits of Voodoo or whatever pantheon you work with. Belief on the part of the magician and the recipient, as well as intent are an integral part of all magick. I think Marie LaVeau was a powerful being who knew how to incorporate all of that. And I think the continued belief in her, even beyond death, keeps her magick alive. I'd love to visit New Orleans and meet her spirit. All due respect to Marie LaVeau.

Why haven't they did a movie about her....

2:20 that's why in AHS she owns a hair salon...

I just got back from New Orleans today and went to Miss Marie LaVeau’s tomb. She’s amazing, so is New Orleans. So much energy over there it’s a true mashup of culture. So much history and so much to see. I feel like I got what I came to get, so I don’t need to go back any time soon. You have to be ready for the intense energy.❤️👑#teamcreole #teamcajun

15 KIDS!!! 2 BEFORE!! That's waaaay too many kids. Women are strong asf. They should do a movie about her.

If we're being honest that still means good features in the black community today

FUN FACT !!!!!! Louisiana voodoo comes from Haitian voodoo...... Because it’s where Haitians migrated when they first arrived in the USA bringing they’re culture and everything with them... but over time both got certain particularities which now differentiate them..

When I personally visited her grave...as soon as I stepped through the crypt yard steamboat music began. As soon as my last foot left the yard the music stopped! No one else that Sunday morning was there to see her grave and it tripped me out a bit....I have paper dolls of her, and own a coin fashioned after her I found in the NOLAs local Voodoo shop! I’m in an active Mardi Gras Krewe (Excalibur) and as a hair dresser myself; pay homage to her in my own spiritual practices....we’ve been blessed infallibly business wise<3 ‘Long live the Queen!’💋

Creole is not white

Marie Laveau will remain one of the most legendary women in American History. This free woman of color is still revered today, outside of Elvis Presley...her grave site is one of the most visited destinations where hundreds of people pay their respects and make wishes. Rest in Power Queen Laveau.

It’s African, French, Native American and Spanish fyi. New Orleans is the Gumbo we make. Yw

I think she was a beautiful intelligent, talented women, well skilled.

I love how in "The originals" the history of new Orleans is beautifully displayed.
