In this old city she and her curse long have ruled the imagination. She has been conjured in dance, drumming, song, and necromancy. With dread and fierce affection, her celebrants ask for her favors and fearfully revere her enduring authority as "the Voodoo Queen." Who was Marie Laveau? This book about her mysterious life, magical deeds, and pervasive power recounts that there were two historical figures by this name, a mother and a daughter. They were free women of color, prominent French~speaking Catholic Creoles, and legendary leaders of a religious and spiritual tradition that orthodox faiths label as evil. From the 1820s until the 1880s, when one Marie died and the other disappeared, a mixture of gossip and devotion swirled about them. With an uncommon business sense the two Maries applied their magic in shifting the course of love, luck, and the law. Both pitted their voodoo might against slavery and its forces. Moses~like, they led their people out of bondage and offered protection and freedom to a strange and assorted community composed of blacks, rich white women, enslaved families, and men condemned to hanging. The curse of the Laveau family, however, followed them. Both Maries loved men they could never marry. Both countered the relentless whispers about evil spirits, murders, and infant sacrifice with acts of benevolence. Both confronted the press and the police who stalked them. In telling the story of Marie Laveau, this book is a masterstroke of detective work. Who is really buried in the famous tomb? What scandals did the Laveau family intend to keep there forever? How did free people of color lose their cultural identity when the United States purchased Louisiana? In portraying the two Marie Laveaus Voodoo Queen brings together the improbable testimonies of saints, spirits, and never~before~printed eyewitness accounts of magical rites.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. Originally published in 1889, this long out-of-print novella is a minor masterpiece that is by turns mysterious, mesmerizing, and tragic. This beautifully lush, ornately styled tale of south Louisiana in the nineteenth century is a haunting novel that is both impresionistic in its evocation of nature and realistic in its characterizations and depictions of life in this region.
