I'm joined today by a favorite author of mine, Denise Alvarado, to chat about her newest work: The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire.

The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire is the first practical guide to New Orleans-style magic inspired by the life and traditions of Marie Laveau—the eternal and enduring Queen of New Orleans Voodoo. This is a working grimoire, or spell book, created for the modern witch and Conjure worker that provides formulas and recipes for solving the problems of daily living and enhancing quality of life using the Laveau Voodoo tradition.

We have such a great chat about Louisiana Voodoo and the misconceptions surrounding this spiritual practice, learning voodoo traditions for beginners, and of course, details about Marie Laveau and her life.
