"New Orleans native Denise Alvarado brilliantly crafts a spiritually delicious reference book combining extensive historical research with a lifetime of personal experiences! Filled with snippets from the past, pearls of wisdom, and a detailed outline of Alvarado's "Laveau Voudou" tradition to which many readers will feel an immediate connection, The Magic of Marie Laveau is a valuable addition to any practitioner's bookshelf, especially those called to serve." - Cairelle Crow , founder and coordinator of the New Orleans Witches' Ball, "This book will become definitive in the continually growing legacy of the greatest Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.A must have for your collection and a truly wonderful read." - Witchdoctor Utu , author of Conjuring Harriet "Mama Moses" Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad., "Anthropologist and Louisiana folk magic "rootworker" Alvarado ( The Voodoo Doll Spellbook ) rejects the sensational accounts of voodoo queen Marie Laveau (1801-1881) to present a comprehensive, intensely researched, and imminently readable narrative of her life and spirituality. The book contains spellwork, including candle magic, Catholic conjure, fetishism, gris gris , and water rituals--for purposes including keeping a lover, finding a lost person, healing, and attacking enemies. This insightful resourceful is a thorough examination of Laveau's legendary status and will be an invaluable reference for devotees of the Laveau voodoo tradition." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review), " The Magic of Marie Laveau is the ideal blend of the academic and the mystical. Denise Alvarado creates a historic understanding of how Mlle. Laveau not only shaped the traditions and culture of New Orleans Voodoo but also influenced all Hoodoo and Conjure practices around the world. Through the biography of Mlle. Laveau, Alvarado teaches that your daily spiritual practice and compassionate works are integral to your magical prowess. There is so much to learn in this book, reading it a second and third time is a must." - Jacki Smith, author of Coventry Magic with Candles, Oils, and Herbs , founder of Coventry Creations., "This book is a celebration of the divine feminine as it manifests in a much-misunderstood form of spirituality. Denise Alvarado's love for Marie Laveau's work is evident. I am sure that Marie Laveau, the Mother of New Orleans Voodoo, returns the sentiment." - Louis Martinié , author of The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot and Waters of Return: The Aeonic Flow of Voudoo ., "Whether you're a Marie Laveau devotee or are only beginning to learn about her, this is the book for you! Brimming with little known facts about her life, her relationships, and her charitable works, The Magic of Marie Laveau is much more than a well-researched biography. It also offers a plethora of valuable information for magical practitioners, including detailed instructions for not only working with her spirit, but for performing many of the rituals and spells for which she is known. Reading this book truly changed my life - and I have no doubt that it will change yours as well." - Dorothy Morrison , author of Utterly Wicked, " The Magic of Marie Laveau includes practical workings and "gris-gris" that provide a "hand up" to the reader in addition to lyrically presented and well-informed information about Ms. Laveau and the world in which she walked." - Sallie Ann Glassman , author of Vodou Visions: An Encounter with Divine Mystery, "Denise Alvarado has successfully combined both history and practical magic into one accessible book, making it possible for those far and wide to reach the Great Queen. The Magic of Marie Laveau brings Marie Laveau to life" - Voodoo Queen Bloody Mary , author of Bloody Mary's Guide to Hauntings, Horrors, and Dancing with the Dead: True Stories from the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans
