Zulu is New Orleans' first and best-known African-American Carnival organization, formally known as the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club. The club was founded in 1909 by African-Americans excluded from the city's mainline Carnival krewes, which were often lampooned in Zulu's satirical antics. Zulu began to parade in 1916, featuring characters such as King Zulu, Big Shot and the Witch Doctor who are city favorites to this day. While Rex rules Carnival with a golden scepter and jeweled crown, King Zulu carries a banana stalk and wears a lard can on his head. And all of the krewe's maskers - now including men and women of all races - wear black face and Afro wigs to turn the tables on racial stereotypes! The prize of the Zulu parade is a painted coconut; they used to be thrown from the floats but are now handed out because of high liability insurance costs due to the risk of injury to spectators. When you purchase a Zulu Witchdoctor from the Mystic Voodoo, he will come with his own little painted coconut to pass on to you in the spirit of Mardi Gras. Use your Zulu Witchdoctor as a focusing tool for creating the change you seek. He is particularly useful for improving luck, happiness, financial situations, and sex. Your Zulu Witchdoctor comes with a set of 7 pins that you can use to achieve your desired outcome. The pin colors and their meanings are as follows: 1) yellow – success, 2) white positive, 3) red – power, 4) purple – spirituality, 5) green – money, 6) blue – love, 7) black – repelling negativity or transformation. Concentrate on the outcome you wish to occur and ask him for assistance in creating this change. Make an offering for three days following your request. Your Zulu Witchdoctor likes to be indulged, so make sure you offer him candy, rum, or food of any kind. Be creative! Click here to purchase King Zulu.
The most important concept in Voodoo is reverence to ancestors. Always be sure to remember those who have gone on before you. It is the single most important thing you can do to insure success in your ritualistic endeavors.
