On September 10th we venerate Elevated Ancestor, Voodoo Queen of Louisiana, & Saint, Marie Catherine Laveau on her 222nd birthday 🎉

[for our Hoodoos of the Vodou Pantheon]

Marie Catherine Laveau was a dedicated Hoodoo, healer, herbalist, & midwife who, "traveled the streets [of New Orleans] like she owned them", as the most infamous Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.

Marie C. Laveau I was born a "Free Mulatto" in today's French Quarter in what was then, New France); to a mother & grandmother who were both born into slavery & later freed via freedom papers. It is believed that she grew up in the St. Ann Street cottage of her maternal grandmother.

She married Jacques Santiago-Paris, a "Quadroon" "Free Man of Color", who fled as a refugee from Saint-Domingue, Haiti from the Haitian Revolution in the former French colony . After his passing, she became known as "The Widow Paris". She then worked as a hairdresser catering to White families & later entered a domestic partnership with a French nobleman his death. She excelled at obtaining inside information on her wealthy patrons by instilling fear in their servants whom she either paid or cured of mysterious ailments. Although she never abandoned her Catholic roots, she became increasingly interested in her mother’s African traditional beliefs. The Widow Paris learned her craft from a ‘Voodoo doctor’ known variously as Doctor John or John Bayou.

Marie C. Laveau I is said to have intiated into Voodoo career sometime in the 1820s. She's believed to be descended from a long line of Voodoo Priestesses, all bearing her same name. She was also a lifelong devout Catholic. It didn’t take long before Marie C. Laveau I dominated New Orleans Voodoo culture & society before claiming title of Queen. She was the 3rd Voodoo Queen of NOLA - after Queen Sanité Dédé & Queen Marie Salopé. During her decades tenure, she was the premier beacon of hope and service to customers seeking private consultations - to aid in matters such as family disputes, health, finances, etc, created/sold gris gris, perforemed exorcisms. While her daughter Marie II was known for her more theatrical displays of public events, Marie C. Laveau I was less flamboyant in her persona. She conducted her work in 3 primary locations throughout the city: her home on St. Ann Street, Congo Square, & at Lake Pontchartrain. Despite one account of a challenge to her authority in 1850, Marie C. Laveau I maintained her leadership & influence.

The Queen died peacefully in her sleep in her ole cottage home on St. Ann Street. Her funeral was conducted according to the rite of the Catholic Church & in the absence of any Voodoo rites. To her Voodoo followers, she's venerated as a Folk Saint. In² addition to her Priesthood in Voodoo and title of Queen, she is also remembered for her community activism; visiting prisoners, providing lessons to women of the community, & doing ritual work for those in need.

She is generally believed to have been buried in plot 347, the Glapion family crypt in Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans. As of March 1st, 2015, there is no longer public access to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Entry with a tour guide is required due to continued vandalism & tomb raiding.

We pour libations & give her💐 today as we celebrate her for her love for & service to the people, through poverty, misfortune, bondage, & beyond.

Offering suggestions: flowers + libations at her grave, catholic hymns, holy water, gold rings/bracelets, money

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

Hoodoos and a View Beyond at Rainbow Point (Bryce Canyon National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while taking in views across hoodoos and other eroded formations at Rainbow Point in Bryce Canyon National Park. My thought on composing this image was to take advantage of the color contrast between the nearby hoodoos with its reds and oranges along the escarpment edge with that of the greens of the evergreen trees in the lower valley and canyon area. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward as I felt it better brought out that view to allow the eyes to slowly move across this national park landscape and be drawn into the image.

September 9th marks the 284th anniversary of The Stono Rebellion of 1739✊🏾

When an Angolan brotha called, Jemmy, led a band of 20 slaves into rebellion on the banks of the Stono River in Charleston, S.C., which put unprecedented fear in Whites. It was because of this uprising that laws were enacted that outlawd the enslaved from learning how to read, gathering in groups, & growing their own food. Thus, making it one of the most significant rebellions in the history of the U.S. colonies.

Jemmy & the rebel band marched southbound on a road toward the river, carrying banners that proclaimed their war very, "Liberty!". Their numbers swelled with more enslaved women and men as they went. By nightfall, 100 rebels had joined the cause. They broke into a local firearms store, arming themselves with guns & ammo. As they marched, they killed every overseer in their path and forced any reluctant slaves to join them.

From there the band marched toward the house of a Mr. Godfrey, where they burned the house & killed Godfrey and his family. It was just shy of dawn when they reached Wallace's Tavern. Because the innkeeper at the tavern was kind to his slaves, his life was spared. The White inhabitants of the next several houses in their path were all slaughtered. Those enslaved by a Thomas Rose reluctantly joined the rebellion, but not before hiding their slaver - of which they were later rewarded for. Still, many more rebels gladly joined the cause. By this point, a Lieutenant Governor Bull eluded the rebels & rode on horseback to spread the alarm. Once the band reached the Edisto River, Whites colonists set out in armed pursuit. Shots were exchanged across both lines. By dusk, about 30 rebels had fallen & at least 30 more had escaped. In the end, most rebels were captured over the next month, then executed. The remainder were pursued and captured over the following 6mo - all except 1 who remained a fugitive for 3 years. The few survivors were sold off to plantations in the West Indies.

The immediate factors that sparked the uprising remain uncertain. Many rebels knew of small groups of runaways had made their way from SC to FL, where they had been given freedom and land. There was also an ongoing malaria epidemic surging across SC. Ultimately, this unprecedented act of rebellion demanded unprecedented legislature. The European colonists finalized a Negro Act into law which aggressively limited the privileges & movement of the enslaved. No longer would slaves be allowed to grow their own food, assemble in groups, earn their own money, or learn to read. Some of these restrictions had been in effect before the Negro Act of 1740, but had not been strictly enforced. This also resulted in the forced indoctrination of slaves into Christian schools systems.

Let us remember Brother Jemmy and those who fought, willingly or not, against the colonizers. Their sacrifice may have set a great legal precedent in European colonizer politics, but it set an even greater one that would spark many fires and fan many more flames of rebellion, war, and freedom. Every step taken from this moment onward was a necessary one to achieve our "freedom" as we experience it today.

We pour libations of water (especiallyfrom the Stono River), speak their names, & offer prayers toward their elevation.

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

🪐✨Collective Reading on Saturn's 2023 Retrograde

The biggest retrograde of 2023 ended November 4th, 2023. I spent time making recorded content reviewing things I felt were key points of this experience to consider and use to elevate our journeys, especially as we continue moving into 2024. There were honestly many messages that I could’ve articulated about this Retrograde, however it all boiled down to us really learning the value of space. Take out time to actually find & read the matching Retrograde Receipt for better understanding of how those channeled messages connect with this Spiritual Reading I did on the collective. Also tune into the video where this reading was actually recorded via The Magik Mirror on Facebook.

So what was the spiritual agenda and medicine brought forth through this Saturn Retrograde, according to God and our ancestral guides?

Detachment

✨Spirit commands us : “Detach to Discern”.

This means many things in many ways. One interpretation is that our absence and our subconscious can greatly inform our judgement. Detachment provides perspective. It’s not always consciousness and presence of something or someone that allows solutions, ideas and wisdoms to emerge. Giving ourselves SPACE is the key to moving with greater purpose. Through detachment—wether it’s emotional, mental, physical—we also allow ourselves to experience creativity, God and spiritual forces go to work, such as our Ancestors. We can surrender to things that may be beyond our ability to comprehend & navigate. What we attach to and focus on can sometimes block our vision from seeing fathoming & experiencing anything else. It’s important to have a healthy sense of detachment (space) for clarity and freedom. Many times it takes more strength to detach from outcomes and absolve ourselves from things than we realize….

✨Spirit wants to know : "Are you strong enough to let go?"

*whisper* yes, yes you are strong enough (see "Strength" card)

Wisdom

✨Spirit also commands : "Let (Your) / (The) Past Inform & Enlighten Your Future."

Being able to get informed through other people and our surroundings is great. Being able to access your memories and hindsights is even better. Being able to access the insights of our ancestors and those who came before us is a blessing. When we can tap into history, personal or not and use it to our benefit, we gain the gift of elevation, enlightenment and open roads. We don’t HAVE to walk the same paths leading to dead ends or repetitive outcomes. Wisdom is often a result of remembering, not forgetting.

✨Spirit says : The past should not hinder you, but it SHOULD inform you.

Renewal & Clarity , ESPECIALLY of our headspace.

Ultimately, this Retrograde has been the driving force behind newfound freedom. Spirit literally wants us to detach from old/outdated ways of thinking and being to embrace greater authenticity and definition. Are you even operating from your own head or from someone else’s? Who’s inside the control center? Who’s dictating or distracting you? In one of the cards pictured : “MAMBO” , see the priestess cutting off a head. In real life, no one’s head was literally cut off this year. LMAO….

But this is a figurative and spiritual way to show the renewal of the mind and the removal of distractions, illusions, erroneous thinking, misconstrued perceptions and the removal of inflated influence and ego both internally and externally. All these things can blind and block vision and progress. They must eventually be detached and disassociated from in order for better to emerge.

✨Spirit says : "In order to experience an Open Road, you must have an open mind."

Sometimes the only way to open our minds is to completely detach them (figuratively) from what we think we know and see......

Enjoyed this collective reading? Tip Me! Book personal sessions & see your authentic reflection 🪞✨ We can expand on a topic I've discussed publicly for the collective or something of your choice/general read. Check out my courses as well on Ancestral Connection & Cleansing available at lifesizeddoll.com or through services on my Facebook Page...
