Marie Laveau: Voodoo Queen
Marie Laveau was a powerful Voodoo Queen in 19th century New Orleans, and even today is worshipped as a loa of love and beauty. But where does the myth end and the reality about her life begin?

Quite a few souvenirs turn up on Doc Holliday's grave outside Glenwood Springs, too.

It’s all one big Volbeat reference
Dude, I'm late to the party with most of your videos but I am a true fan. From the "Checkmate, Lincolnites!" series to all of your other videos. I enjoy this shit man, really.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for making it!
Man I need to get back to New Orleans sometime. Keep up the good work!
Just got back from there ! Hail to the queen!😏💙👑🕯♛⚜⚜
Someone told me the x's were a sign of respect in the voodoo tradition. Glad to clear up that misconception .
One wish was fulfilled AND she collects her offerings?! *Clearly, voodoo is the real deal!*
And I heard she had a voodoo sister named Phyllis who had a man named Roberto...

Alchohol, tobacco and money always seem to be gone the next day huh? Wonder why...no I don't. All in all a good video on something that I didn't know about thank you
Thank you..
Does Saloom/Sinclaire still play down there? Marie Laveau was an anthem up there with Jamie Brocket's Ballad of the Titanic, Arlo's Alice's Restaurant and Andy Pratt's Avenging Annie. Ask any Boomer.
A depressingly large number of historians and pop-culture makers fall into the modern trap of assuming that just because they themselves are cynical about religion, that must mean that people in the past were too.

Oh so true, just think of all the "men of the cloth" and the crimes they got away with back then. I'll bet they REALLY had some faith in religion at that time.
Maybe she was a Saint? Just a thought that came to me while watching this.....I really enjoy your channel, can't wait to see what you bring us next!

She might he recognized by the church as a saint. I don’t really know. There’s hundreds of them, so who knows?

Definitely not a saint. More sadistic
She was highly respected
Don’t touch Marie’s rum.
Funny, i had never heard of her until I heard the song Marie Leveau by Volbeat lol
*"Why yeh trying to kill meh??"* At least someone's a fan 😏😹 BECAUSE YOUR.... BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!!

Oh, I thought she was a character in a season of American Horror Story.
I left 3 dollars and on the third day of the third month I got paid and kept getting paid... lol .. thank you !!!
You really should do a video on the TRUE story of the Myrtles Plantation
It’s spelt LaVeau not Laveau

I mean, if you were so legendarily kind that people go to your tomb to get wishes granted from it, is that vandalism really be so offensive? I wouldn't mind, I'd be honored, although admittedly sometimes annoying.

Maybe NOW there are. But in her time..she was the Queen..and she took great risks doing that in a city full of fear, racism and misogyny. Don't disrespect her memory..or you may suffer the consequences.
