This is not the official cover, but it is one of my NEW BOOKs to be published by #weiserbooks! It is a practitioner's guide to working with the Voodoo Queen of #neworleans, Marie Laveau. ๐๐๐ This book is written for devotees of Marie Laveaux who wish to strengthen their relationship and devotion to her. It focuses on little-known practices designed to place devotees firmly on a path of respectful and mindful servitude. ๐๐๐ In this book, I will share how to create a New Orleans style three- tiered altar for her. I also share how to create a simpler altar for her for people with limited space. ๐๐๐ In addition to learning how to set up her altar correctly, you will learn her favorite offerings, learn about the saints you may petition alongside her, and how to seek her assistance for all manner of life issues.ย ๐๐๐ There is a section called the Black and White Magic of Marie Laveau Decoded which takes the vintage text published by the long defunct Dixie Drug Store in New Orleans and deconstructs its referenced ritual ingredients into identifiable materia medica. This was an especially interesting and challenging part of the work to write. I think my readers will really like this part of the book. ๐๐๐ I come from old school New Orleans Voodoo and hoodoo where there aren't any fabricated limitations thrust upon people who sincerely desire to serve her. In lay terms, this is the indigenous folk religion, not Haitian Vodou. ๐๐๐ Carolyn Morrow Long is writing the foreword to the book. Her perspective is not of the practitioner but of a historian whose impeccible research lends much credence to the work. ๐๐๐ I am so excited and hope you all are too! ๐๐๐ #whatsinyourconjure #marielaveau #neworleansvoodoo #hoodoo #rootwork #witchcraft #occult #voodoo #authordenisealvarado #authorsofinstagram @judikailles @weiserbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIPm0djDsV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b2ychhhxbawa
