Shocking Revelations from Beyond the Grave: Unlock Wealth and Power with Marie Laveau's Secret Money Rituals!

hoodoo voodoo offerings

There is an old tradition in New Orleans, if you ever make your way to the St. Louis Cemetery #1.

There is a tomb in front of which one often sees offerings of flowers and candles, and the structure is covered over with X shapes scratched or drawn on the walls. This is the tomb of the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau.



History -- written largely by whites who didn't approve of her practice -- has claimed she began as a hairdresser who learned secrets about her wealthy clients, and passed herself to them as a fortune teller and magician. Recent scholarship finds no evidence of her having been a hairdresser, and instead it appears she married, and was subsequently widowed, at a young age. She then took up with a man descended from French nobility, whom she couldn't legally marry because he was white and she was black, though she stayed with him for many years, had children with him, and technically it is his family's tomb she's buried in. She was apparently left fairly well off by her gentlemen, and either for fun or as public service began pitching her Afro-Catholic Voodoo practices to the public. Her public Voodoo Dances became a tourist destination, and to this day shops in the city promote themselves by using her famous name.

Voodoo believes in not just life after death, but also that the spirits of the dead will be able to assist you in your worldly affairs. Marie Laveau became a popular spirit to petition for help. The tradition is that you draw three Xs on her tomb and make your wish, then leave an offering for her -- however, the owners of the tomb now discourage the markings being made. It is recommended instead to just leave the offering with the wish. One man who claimed to be a descendant of Laveau recommended that one go to her tomb and promise a certain amount of money be paid upon her granting of the desired outcome; the money could be donated to a Catholic church.

Actual money is a traditional gift to leave on graves in hoodoo rites, but for a popular tomb like Laveau's, you would probably not want to do this since cash likely to be seen and taken by other visitors; perfume and alcohol are other traditional presents, and can be poured out in front of the tomb or splashed onto it.

Marie Laveau never worked cheap when she was alive, and her services are probably even more in demand now that she's dead; so be sure leave her a nice, substantial gift if ever you want her services.

Consulting with the great Marie Laveau through mediumship, she indicated to me that great power is really the key to achieving great wealth. And think about it -- why do you really want all that wealth? Because it gives you power! Because of this, those who are considering magic spells for wealth should perhaps instead contemplate magic spells for power.

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or any other number of metaphors. I had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it with Bend Over powder. He paid me what I ...

Ammonia - A Spiritual Cleansing Agent for Magick

Ammonia is a strong cleansing agent in hoodoo magick, both physically and spiritually. In Edwardian times it was advised as an old home remedy for a nerve tonic (see recipe below.)  "Household ammonia" or "ammonium hydroxide" is a solution of NH3 in water. Household ammonia ranges in concentration from 5 to 10 weight percent ammonia. The Romans called the ammonium chloride deposits they collected from near the Temple of Amun (Greek Ἄμμων Ammon) in ancient Libya 'sal ammoniacus' (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple of Amun, the chief god of ancient Thebes. Salts of ammonia have been known from very early times; thus the term Hammoniacus sal appears in the writings of Pliny, although it is not known whether the term is identical with the more modern sal-ammoniac (ammonium chloride). In the form of sal-ammoniac (nushadir) ammonia was important to the Muslim alchemists as early as the 8th century, first mentioned by the arab chemist...

Spiritual Use of Turpentine in Hoodoo and Witchcraft

  I have posted in the past about the use of giving one's bedding a spiritual cleansing from time to time.  I recently was laundering my pillows in the same load of laundry as some turpentine-soaked rags, with the result that the pillows emerged from the wash reeking of turpentine.  From a magical perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Turpentine is used in old-time hoodoo rituals for purposes such as uncrossing, protection and sometimes as a feed for mojo bags. Its solvent powers and strong odor do indeed suggest a powerful spiritual cleansing agent, and it is still used in some modern day cleaning products on a purely practical level for these same reasons.  Old time medicines sometimes included turpentine as a thing to drink, in small doses. A book from the 1850s, The Domestic Medicine Chest , recommends giving it to children in a dose of one teaspoon for killing tapeworm. Relatedly, in old time hoodoo cures for "live things" turpentine might be made into a tea...
