-The '''[[Sabbat]]''' is, depending on the context and the religious tradition, a day set aside for rest, worship, or celebration.
+'''[[Marie Laveau]]''' was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of [[Voodoo]], herbalist and midwife who was renowned in New Orleans. Her daughter, Marie Laveau II, (1827–c. 1862) also practiced rootwork, conjure, Native American and [[African diaspora religion|African spiritualism]] as well as Louisiana Voodoo.
