New Orleans Voodoo is a hybrid voodoo, reflective of the eclectic  culture that is uniquely New Orleans. Marie Laveau is somewhat of a poster child for the mixed races that emerge from New Orleans as she is said to have been a free person of color and part Choctaw. She was born to a wealthy French planter Charles Laveau,  and a mother who may have been a mulatto slave, a Caribbean Voodoo practitioner, or a quadroon mistress. She is said to have had a snake called Zombi. Oral traditions suggest that the occult part of her magic mixed Roman Catholic beliefs and saints with African spirits and religious concepts.

This Voodoo  Doll was inspired by the great Voodoo Queen of New Orleans - Marie Laveau. She is constructed in the traditional New Orleans fashion out of Spanish moss and sticks, and adorned with fancy yarns and lace. She is wearing a talisman that will bring love and ward off negativity for you. Her face is hand sculpted out of polymer clay and painted. She is wearing a crystal on her forehead, which is my artist trademark.

Marie Laveau comes with your choice of familiar- a black rooster or her pet snake, Zombi.

Measures approximately 6.5 x 4.5 inches.
