In 2002, doctors told a 41-year-old New York woman that she should prepare to meet her maker. She’d been bed-ridden with meningitis and other ailments for some time, and it didn’t look good. But she didn’t give up and resign herself to her fate. Instead she got on a train to New Orleans (her illness prevented her from flying) and made an offering at the tomb of famed voodoo queen, Marie Laveau, who died in 1881, but went on to become the center of a far-reaching spiritist cult.
The woman, who asked local media to identify her simply as “Jackie,” made a near complete recovery.
In 2003, she made a another trip to Marie’s tomb to “close the circle,” as she put it. “If you believe there are spiritual forces with great power,” she said, “this is definitely the place to come.”
People are certainly coming. Tour guides say Marie’s grave, at St. Louis No. 1 Cemetery near the
French Quarter, is one of the most visited graves in the United States. It’s become the U.S. equivalent of Lourdes, the French town where miracle cures are said to have occurred.

Hello im looking for some help because I have a this connection to MARIE LAVAUE. I feel like her Twin in this LIFETIME. And its strange I don’t practice Voodoo at all my family is from New Orleans. And me and her we look just alike. But about 15yrs ago I gravitated to her book by HER And READ EACH DAY OF HER DIARY AND I JUST SEEN ME AND HER AS 1 PERSON. And I keep seeing everything in 3’s and the Times on clocks have been in 3’s like 3:33 4:44 or 11:11. Is SHE REALLY CONNECTING WITH ME AND IS ALL IF THIS LINK TOGETHER. IS THERE SOMETHING SHE WANTS ME TO DO.
It may be her spirit trying to tell you to follow your heart and use your intuition at al times. I have a great connection with miss laveau as well and honor her like I would one of my own family members..I also see things in 3s as well…so please listen…sit quiet and heed all the signs.
Tanisha I believe you! Cause when I moved there n evacuated during Katrina something keep drawing me back there, and the funny thing is I’m from MS n moved there in 1999. For years I visited my family in New Orleans before moving there even then I was drawn. I believe Marie Laveau sends her spirit over some . If u can connect with me on fb, look for name( just dre all day). My profile pic is of Versace logo.
