VOODOO QUEEN ON WELFARE? | The Voodoo Queen Who Couldn't Fix Her Own Life

Most people imagine powerful spiritual practitioners as wealthy, successful, and spiritually flawless.

Voodoo Queen Lala was none of those things.

In this live discussion, we'll revisit the life of one of New Orleans' most fascinating Voodoo practitioners using rare historical photographs and documented accounts of her life.

We'll explore:

• Her devotion to Marie Laveau
• Her struggles with poverty and government assistance
• Her dependence on her husband, Louie
• Her admissions of wrongdoing and spiritual mistakes
• Why her life challenges modern ideas about spiritual power and success
• What today's practitioners can learn from her story
