Lost Spells of Marie Laveau: Forbidden Secrets of the New Orleans Voodoo Queen

In January 2006, volunteer workers dismantled the remains of a home ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Beneath the rubble, they discovered a tin coffee canister containing 13 oil-preserved papers, detailing incantations, gris-gris ingredients and instructions. The first page was dated 1896 and signed by Marie Laveau Clapion, New Orleans' most notorious Voodoo Queen.

The French to English translations were initially published in two volumes. Those books, THE LOST SPELLS OF MARIE LAVEAU and FORBIDDEN SPELLS OF THE NEW ORLEANS' VOODOO QUEEN, are out-of-print today. This book represents the first time the contents of all 13 papers have appeared in one volume.
