Today, there is the problematic tendency for scholars to rely on the reports and interpretations of outsiders to understand Marie Laveau and New Orleans Voudou, which leads to a seemingly endless cycle of myths and misunderstandings. Further, recent studies only focus on Voudou activity in the French Quarter and fail to understand that the city is not what defines New Orleans Voudou—it is the culture, practitioners, and Marie Laveau that do. The mysteries of Marie Laveau’s life and religion are encoded in her magick. Her legacy is embedded in the same rituals that have been passed down over the years since her death by practitioners of New Orleans Voudou. In this book, I decode some of these mysteries and make a case for a specific form of New Orleans Voudou called “Laveau Voudou” in a fresh presentation of her work. As such, the spiritual legacy of Marie Laveau is in the memory of her great name and in the inheritance of a powerful, unique magicospiritual tradition that largely defines Voudou in Louisiana today.
