Voodoo Queen of New Orleans

Voodoo is as intrinsic to New Orleans culture as Mardi Gras, jazz and the beignet (French term for a pastry). Marie Laveau was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voodoo, who was renowned in New Orleans. Although some references to Marie Laveau in popular culture refer to her as a “witch,” locals say she is more properly described as a ‘Voodoo queen’. More from Robert Sepehr.
