Marie Laveau was a dedicated practitioner of [[Voodoo]], as well as a healer and herbalist. "Laveau was said to have traveled the streets like she owned them" said one New Orleans boy who attended an event at St. John's. Her daughter, Marie Laveau II displayed more theatrical rubrics by holding public events (including inviting attendees to St. John's Eve rituals on Bayou St. John). It is not known which had done more to establish the voodoo queen reputation, and she and her daughter are often regarded as a single entity. | Marie Laveau was a dedicated practitioner of [[Voodoo]], as well as a healer and herbalist.
