Voodoo herbal medicine. Gotta hustle to make money some way in this land of the "free" where everything costs so much.
The intent is the clincher. ❤ propaganda 2025. Even Tupac poured one for the proverbial homies.
Please listen to blue hues by Nevaeh East
Beautiful!
I hope she opens back up. I need you.
This store closed this year…. 2025 😢😢
Voodoo is no different from pagan beliefs such as Wiccan, Celtic, or Norse based.
I'm agnostic but any belief that caught my intrest, i look them up.
Can you please not have background music as loud or louder as the speaker?
Faith
? goúd?
Awesome bruv 🔥👍🏼..
Thx u 😤 🍻 💀 🙌🏽 ♎️…
Such an authentic traditional method for healing. You can understand why stories like that of Marie Laveau get romanticized due to the unfamiliarity of Western practices. Still makes a good story though! 🙂
Thank you for this truth!!!!
I love New Orleans
Voodoo is Mystic, the spirit is Evil
This is modernized Vodoo
I've met so many plant based healers, and this chick doesn't pass the smell test, FRAUD
That's hoodoo not voodoo. Voodoo is like any other religion ceremony where there is music and dancing and Spirit Possession. Hoodoo is basically witchcraft and consists of roots and plants and potions and casting spells.
Can I go there to practice voodoo for Trump? ( 2025 only starting and that f idiot being a pain in the * )
I love Nola and haus of hoodoo
Jesus loves you!
Next stop RUSSIA AND SOUTH AFRICA
I knew it! 💀☂️
Beautiful
Thank you for this beautiful portrayal. In my country Macedonia we have the same custom to pour our drink for our ancestors to 'drink' with us. we also light cigarettes for the smokers :), or use smoke in ceremony. recently i lost my grandma and this made me reflect on it, especially since i believe i have unprocessed grief, that along with stress caused me health problems. watching this made me cry, release and heal a bit in the same time 🙂 sending you love and light
Black is black,… White is White…. witchcraft is evil.. Jesus is light
I love her so much too bad I don’t get much of her through Social Media
We should never have let them immigrate here.
That was beautiful, poetic! Thank you so much for sharing! 🤍
Anything can be used for negative purposes if that is the intent. One of the important history lessons I learned while reading a book about Voodoo and Marie Laveau was the stories about St.Maroon. I had no idea about their struggles and their story until I did the research. They should definitely mention it more. Slaves were freeing slaves and taking them to safe zones to escape plantations. They were lead by Jean Saint Malo freeing everyone they could. They sent a lot of people out to find and kill the maroons because they were inspiring others to do the same. I'm sure he was a good man. It's terrible that human beings treated each other so terribly. Of course they needed voodoo. It was the only piece of their culture they could hold on to that wasn't stripped away with everything else.
Lived in New Orleans on Baronne St from 2021 to beginning of this year. Haus of Hoodoo by Manbo Jessyka, on St. Charles St, was only one block away and literally walking distance from my apartment. Visited there Jan of this year after I caught COVID for the 4th time, my apartment was broken into by someone at who held me at gunpoint, and a few things were going wrong in my life. I asked for help there, and received it. Had a dream to that woke me out of my sleep to visit the Haus of Hoodoo…I overcame my sickness and my life turned around for the better financially, spiritually, and things started flowing. I noticed the difference over some months. This place and voodoo and hoodoo is the truth. But you have to be careful with it. Thankful for my ancestors leading me here. If you ever get a chance to visit New Orleans, please stop by. You won’t regret it. 🙏🏾⚜️
I need to visit this magical place
Beautiful. A series, please, BBC
“It’s essential to connect with the ancestors, because when things hard hard for me. I know what my ancestors went through. They didn’t live through that for to turn around and go through the same things they did.”
What a powerful way to work with ancestors ✨💚
