I genuinely dislike the vibes I get off of the people working in the store. And yeah the disrespect put on her house… like it’s one thing to share the culture behind her magic, and teach it and offer a practitioners service, but to profit off of it, and not actually teach anything about it is just disrespectful to me, and this is one of the many reasons why people go around spreading nonsense on apps like tik toc about witch craft.
I was just at the shop and as soon as I walked in, I felt the energy of the place. It made me feel as if I needed to be really careful about my thoughts and feelings.
Haven't been there in years but it looks all commercialize now. there used to be a for sure enough alter to the left when you walk in. Looks like it's changed for the worst.... Nothing but a tourist trap now it used to be the real thing
I bought a voodoo doll, and a necklace that apparently had a love spell on it, and they were beautiful! They disappeared out of my purse within five minutes. Very confusing and sad but in all honor of Marie Laveau.. Love that place so much.
you need to get your info on voodoo correct as well. the origins voodoo, Is from African vodou, and ife, originally from Benin, Senegal, Nigeria, basically the western part of Africa. and I stand by the fact that Catholism was a cover for voodoo, and nothing more. in African vodou, there are no Christian elements, or motifs, because there were no need for them in AFRICA.

Went to the same store. I bought a Pomba Gira statue from them because I have not ever seen one out here. I meant to get a doll from them like you did but I got a voodoo doll else where. It was a great visit. I look forward to visiting again some time. Hopefully sooner than later. 😁
Hi my wife use to visit this shop when she was a child a lot if great memories...i see the changes that have been over time... I was wandering what happened to the shops sitting area and the curtain for whorship in the back.. Madam mamba and her daughters went. We use to be close. My wife left L.A. in 2000.
I was thinking the same thing. I visited this place in the early 90's a few times when I lived in Mississippi. We used to come to the quarter every so often. Now it reminds me of a roadside shell store in Florida. No authenticity. Just cheap trinkets for cash.
I can't believe he took ur credit card and took his pen over a piece of paper to get the impression on the credit card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I own 2 stores and U can't do that!!!!! Thats stealing his info.
that would pertain to any store policy, secular, or religious. but this store disrespects true voodoo and hoodoo, because they come off as though their apart of the culture, when in reality their just vultures trying to make a dollar.
Not to be PC, but why is there a non-African guy running it? Voodoo/Vodun is ancestral (lwa). It doesn't make sense. It's also being commercialized. Many items have to be made by practitioners with some status.
I plan on visiting N.O. soon. Looking forward to going to Haus of Hoodoo as its Black owned, operated, and legit. I do want to visit Mme. Laveau's but I'd feel weird buying such items from colonizers. Looking forward seeing (feeling, rather) what vibe I get when I visit.
I went here in the early 90's and this looks so different. They had stuff, but not like this. There used to be a curtain at the back for ceremonies I guess. This reminds me of a shell store onnthe side of the highways in Florida. Just crap everywhere. Its like a wiccan hippie teamed up with Spencers. Definitely not the same.
Looks like the store to me. Mind you, I haven't been since, goodness, 2009, so it may have changed a lot since then (though between 1998 and 2009, it didn't change much).

I noticed the basket of chicken feet. I collect those but they are longer than the ones here appear to be and they are not painted. I don't practice I just like the way they look and collect them. You can find them on etsy
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and he was buried and he rose again the third day according to the scriptures if you have faith in this gospel message you shall be saved
I just re-watched it I think I misunderstood... I guess the dude around 2:18 said 78' when you asked how long the store has been around. So, if they're only $25 then I'll get one too when I'm there in a few more weeks. :D I'm very excited. I can't wait to be there. :D
Lol if only that place was legit then i would've acted accordingly. That place made a mockery of that religion and was all about making money and being a culture vulture.
Ms Iam Everythang I saw it. It pisses me the fuck off. Balhomet has nothing to do with voodoo. I'm a French Creole with this practice in my bloodline so when I see people mixing shit with my heritage that doesn't belong there it's offensive. They can get the fuck out of here with that shit and respect Marie Levaux and her legacy
@@theunseen3 I agree. Any religious mishmashing and commercialization is just disrespectful to those who practice. I'm not even religious and I can respect others' beliefs enough to know that.
My Great grandma was a practitioner, and yes I study it and know it well, the problem is, white people try and add Wicca type tradition to hoodoo, in hoodoo, there is no temple because hoodoo is not a religion like voodoo, it a magical practice . White people get the two hoodoo and voodoo crossed. many hoodoo practitioners were Christians. so the church was there temple, and the bible was there conjure book. the Psalms in particular was the scriptures of choice. Hoodoo was American made magical system by slaves who didn't have time for ritual, so much of it is base on charm work, and quick spells. I know what hoodoo is about, but do you, it's part of my culture. hoodoo is the African American experience, and noone outside of that experience can really relate. so don't question me on what I know, the question is what do you know?
voodoo was practiced in your ancestral house. because it was most of the times family oriented. And yes there were temples elsewhere, but not in a place of business. how disrespectful is that to the spirits, a place of worship should be dedicated to the house of the spirits and to them alone, you have to have room to dance, to create veves, and play the Drums. A temporary temple can be out in the open, on a beach when consulting yemeya eg. do not cross your temple with your place of business. I view that as disrespectful to the Loas.
You only read what my reply was, my reply was to a person who’s grandmother was a practitioner. For your information Voodoo is comprised of three cultures beliefs, African religion of Hudoo, some Native American as well as catholic Catholicism. So don’t judge somebody because you will be judged yourself.
That store looked like they had a Mogwai for sale in the back.
lmao!
i guess I'm quite off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?
@Maximilian Tommy Flixportal xD
@Felipe Jaxen thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it!!
@Maximilian Tommy Glad I could help xD
Laveau deserves better than this 😔
Such a powerful woman's memory being used to make a profit.
She'd've loved it (if she were getting a cut of the profits).
Daypsie Quartz EXACTLY! I’m sure she had a plan for those the😈
@@bbhalocapricorn2321 no you are both wrong. SHE commercialized voodoo. Read a book once in a while.
@@madmonkee6757 actually Marie would have disagreed with the money part. She wanted to help people.
im not even a true believer but theres a reason they ask yoyu to turn the cameras off. if the loa are real they would likely take umbridge
I can totally picture that cashier saying, "I hate my dad."
brandon moffett lol
Here we have a junk shop filled with negative vibes. XXX I Bind this foolery
Amen Sister...
Amen
"Foolery" is not a word, so I bind your foolishness and stupidity.
@@madmonkee6757 Foolery absolutely *is* a word.
I hated the vibes here
Marie deserves more than people turning her house into shop just to get money from her! that just aint right
looks like tourist trap
looks like a rats nest
Michael Winemiller I've been there before and the stuff is kinda high-priced but very cool. It really smelled like weed too 😂
Of course it's a tourist trap, just like so much in the French Quarter in the last 50 years.
Too much stuff. It is very garish, doesn't feel authentic. I get a very commercial vibe.
Have you ever been to an authentic botanica? This place is spacious by comparison.
I went there in 2003 and it wasn't like this... And used to be the real deal
Magic shops near and far seem to all have the same vibe...❤ Don't hate, appreciate bruh
Well it IS a business. Most people don't practice voodoo so of course they have to have to make it commercial to keep it going.
Who gave them the right to use her name
Exactly
Why?
Security: "You cant record in here"
Man: "Ok" ... then makes an 11 minute video!!! lmao 😂
Marie laveau was a queen Haitian voodoo
She wasn't even vaguely Haitian.
Ahhh...no.
She was a creole woman
@@mrsmary717 Haitians are creole to dummy
She didn't practice Haitian Vodoun! She practiced Louisiana Voodoo which is very different but no less authentic.

Shan my friend and mentor used to be the Manager her. who knows where Shan Brown is now. best tarot reader and knowledge on voodoo is on point.
I bought a voodoo doll, and a necklace that apparently had a love spell on it, and they were beautiful! They disappeared out of my purse within five minutes. Very confusing and sad but in all honor of Marie Laveau.. Love that place so much.
Turning the camera back shows disrespect to the store because they considered it a temple as well as a store.
that store ain't no temple, it has nothing to do with real hoodoo, or voodoo. it's a tourist attraction at best.
+arron haggerty agreed

hmm I never thought about that. it's been a while and nothing's happened but yeah weird now that I think about it.
I haven't seen that done with a credit card since the late 80's / early 90's what was the point he slid the card lol.
pualani dante maybe he took his credit card info to remember him so that he could hex him. Just a thought.
-_- you are suppose to. You idiot. It protects the store from customers doing charge backs.
That's NOT MARIE LAVEAUS...STOP USING HER NAME. WHAT IN THEE ENTIRE FUCK
That whole store is a scam and ppl actually believe in that lmao
I bet you believe in Jesus don't you
I just went here the other day, Everything is Overpriced.
As a Haitian psychic I like the store they have everything you need to do voodoo work
zin pete you cant do shit. It's all BS
No way! My mom went down there and bought e a voodoo doll , And the black skull necklace! :D
Even in the rain NOLA is beautiful...
I said consider there a difference, I've studied it for a few years now and been to a voodoo ritual. It's still rude to violate store policy.
that would pertain to any store policy, secular, or religious. but this store disrespects true voodoo and hoodoo, because they come off as though their apart of the culture, when in reality their just vultures trying to make a dollar.
+arron haggerty I agree with you for the most part but you do not have to be African to practice voudun...
Robert Consley Marie Laveau is coming for they ass in their sleep!
I have SEEN her in my sleep...
she warned me of impending danger...
I was so Thankful.
Whenever I hear the word "Voodoo", I think of Gilligan's Island😂
Julie Munoz 😂
Pulu si bagumba.
Not to be PC, but why is there a non-African guy running it? Voodoo/Vodun is ancestral (lwa). It doesn't make sense. It's also being commercialized. Many items have to be made by practitioners with some status.
Or Haitian why is there a none black person period 😒
Non black people own it. It's horrible
I plan on visiting N.O. soon. Looking forward to going to Haus of Hoodoo as its Black owned, operated, and legit. I do want to visit Mme. Laveau's but I'd feel weird buying such items from colonizers. Looking forward seeing (feeling, rather) what vibe I get when I visit.
We can’t have NOTHING that belongs to our culture/ancestors! 🤦🏾♀️
Crazy thing is we're not doing anything about it
Try being a Romany Gypsy…
I went here in the early 90's and this looks so different. They had stuff, but not like this. There used to be a curtain at the back for ceremonies I guess. This reminds me of a shell store onnthe side of the highways in Florida. Just crap everywhere. Its like a wiccan hippie teamed up with Spencers. Definitely not the same.
So disrespectful! He said turn the camera off and he disregard him!!!!
This is not the actual store because you can't take pictures or film the items.
Looks like the store to me. Mind you, I haven't been since, goodness, 2009, so it may have changed a lot since then (though between 1998 and 2009, it didn't change much).

Wtf are you rambling about
I noticed the basket of chicken feet. I collect those but they are longer than the ones here appear to be and they are not painted. I don't practice I just like the way they look and collect them. You can find them on etsy
I found chicken feet in a pet store. They were supposed to be for the dogs to chew on a a toy.
Gostei do video, no fundo da loja a traz caixa está escrito BRASIL
Showing videos of my people, my grandmother’s stuff us voodoo practitioner to is very sacred to our religion practice

heh heh i visited those streets... they are wild and packed with people
Spark13 absolutely! I had a wild time that night 😉
A totally fascinating shop
I took pics with a 35mm cam back in 1997 and NONE of the pics inside the shop cam out
BRASIL :))
Are they her offspring
No
Hey There Ronnie, Did that first dude in you video say that doll you got was $75?
What's the timestamp? I think the doll I bought was only about $25
I just re-watched it I think I misunderstood... I guess the dude around 2:18 said 78' when you asked how long the store has been around. So, if they're only $25 then I'll get one too when I'm there in a few more weeks. :D I'm very excited. I can't wait to be there. :D

I hope the video creator knows that he disrespected the ancestors and mama Marie by turning cameras back on. The spirits are highly displeased.
Lol if only that place was legit then i would've acted accordingly. That place made a mockery of that religion and was all about making money and being a culture vulture.
This isn't even her shop or her descendents
Un esprit original
Nobody ever wants to go inside with me

Did you see the large Baphomet statue while in there?
Ms Iam Everythang I saw a lot of statues in there but I can't recall if I saw goat man lol. did you?

You aren't supposed to record inside this place
John 3 verse 16
That's religion something thats taught. Voodoo is spiritual.
I REBUKE ALL YOUR VOODOO IN THE NAME OF JESUS
possibilities are endless.
What do you mean?
They have you not recorded bc it’s disrespectful to the sprits in their listen nextime
How disappointing.
