Voodoo Queen


According to my sources in the Big Easy, St John's Eve is this Saturday, June 23. It's a big night for practitioners of voodoo. Marie Laveau was said to do rituals on the Bayou St John that night. As it happens, I've visited both Bayou St. John AND Marie Laveau's reputed gravesite (although, rumor has it she isn't actually buried there. What else would you expect from a voodoo priestess?)

Sounds like a marvelous night for a moon dance.
Oddly, Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare????) wrote a song about Marie Laveau
