One form of Hoodoo is called foot track magic. She is also known for holding large Voodoo meetings in Congo Square that on many occasions were attempted to be shut down by police…to no avail. She was intelligent and had a deep connection with the Supreme Being and with the saints and spirits of New Orleans. She was a hairdresser to the high class folks, and so she made connections easily. She was a very powerful woman and magician, and helped whoever came to her with problems of love, power, money, and more.
Marie Laveau lived and worked in New Orleans in the nineteenth century and made a name for herself. Today this would be considered a Hoodoo practice. Did you know that she a voodoo-isant AND a hoodoo practitioner? There is a legend of Marie Laveau praying with three ghost peppers under her tongue for a matter of 3 days, pleading with the saints to resolve a legal issue for a local politician. You may have heard of the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Her name grew so big, some said she was more famous than President Woodrow Wilson. She would never advise in the matters of love or war, but she readily gave readings on financial and prosperity concerns. Some say Aunt Caroline Dye used only a simple deck of cards to do her readings. We don’t know the rootwork practices that Caroline Dye used, but we can assume she utilized accessible natural tools like roots, bones, sticks, stones, plants, dirt, etc. Businessmen came from far and wide to ask Aunt Caroline Dye her advice. She lived in Arkansas but was born into slavery in Spartanburg, South Carolina in the late 1800’s. You’ve probably heard of the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, but have you heard of Aunt Caroline Dye? Aunt Caroline Dye was a very famous name in Hoodoo in the early 1900’s.
