Marie Laveau: Life of a Voodoo Queen introduces you to the legendary Marie Laveau, affectionately known as the Voodoo Queen or the Pope of Voodoo of New Orleans.

Her life and work cemented her place in history beginning in the mid-1800s. She just may be the most influential practitioner of the magical arts.

This audiobook details her remarkable life and legacy and shares how she came to be known as the reigning queen even to this day.

You’ll discover information about her perspective about religion, her young life, her parents, her life before she became infamous, her Voodoo practices, and everything in between.

You’ll have a full understanding of how to set up an altar. You’ll have in-depth knowledge about her charity work, ceremonies, rituals, and ultimately her funeral and legacy.

this audible book not only told you about Marie, but it teaches you about African diaspora. The story of Marie is explained in a way, back to the people of Haiti and slavery. the people that were enslaved here, the United States, and Caribbean islands, were forced to change names and religion. it also explained America's dark past, where people turned into slaves that were thought to be property. however, africans we're forced into practicing Christianity, as I stated, but they had a little loop hole out due to segregation. when they were forced to "praise the Lord" they would make saints to represent one of the orishas. the old African powers, and God's and goddesses. the orishas are also explained through one the chapters in this audible book. this book is very good for learning about the history of slavery and religions like the Yoruba religions of West Africa. unfortunately since there was no written things about slaves and their history, Marie's past is still mysterious in a lot of ways. I'd write was known, but then I would give away spoilers. I really enjoyed this, and for 99 cents you should add it to your library. it will teach you many things and about history, and also give many details about Marie.

The reading was off and there's no story! It's a cold reading of findings while attempting to finish one's thesis on time. I do not recommend!

Unfortunately the reader's voice was lack luster and the book was not very informative.

Boring read
