This Greek Revival Tomb, the Glapion family crypt at St. Louis Cemetery #1, is comprised of three stacked crypts with a receiving vault and is the reputed burial place of Marie Laveau (September 10, 1801 – June 16, 1881), the Voodoo Queen, a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voudou renowned in New Orleans. The tomb has become a tourist attraction and a stop along commercial cemetery and voodoo tours. Visitors bring small gifts in the tradition of voodoo offerings and mark the grave with three x's on its side, in the hope's that Laveau's spirit will grant them a wish. Little is known with any certainty about Marie Laveau's life and career. She was born free in New Orleans, the daughter of a white planter and a free Creole woman of color. She was married to Jacques Paris, a free person of color who had emigrated to Haiti, and after his death, took a lover, Christophe Glapion, with whom she lived in common-law marriage and reportedly had 15 children, including Marie Laveau II, who also practiced voodoo. Oral traditions suggested that the occult part of her magic mixed Roman Catholic beliefs, including saints, with African spirits and religious concepts. Some scholars believe that her feared magical powers were actually based on her network of informants in households of the prominent, which she developed while working as a hairdresser. Others assert that she owned her own brothel and also developed informants that way. Laveau was known to have staged ceremonies in which she possessed participants by loas (voodoo spirits) and danced naked around bonfires, told fortunes and supposedly healed the sick and saved several condemned men from the gallows. Saint Louis Cemetery #1, which replaced the now vanished St. Peter Cemetery as the main burial ground in New Orleans following the fire of 1788, is the oldest of three Roman Catholic cemeteries bearing the same name. Spanning just one square block on the north side of Basin Street, one block from the inland border of the French Quarter and bordering the Iberville housing project built on top of Storyville, St. Louis #1 is the final resting place of over 100,000 dead. The above ground vaults, mostly constructed in the 18th and 19th century and currently is varied states of disrepair, are said to be needed because the ground water levels in New Orleans make burials impossible, but in reality owe much of their existence to French and Spanish tradition. Famous New Orleanians buried in St. Louis #1 include Jean Etienne Boré, a wealthy pioneer of the sugar industry and the first mayor of New Orleans; Homer Plessy, the plaintiff from the landmark 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision on civil rights; Benjamin Latrobe, America's first professional architect; Ernest N. "Dutch" Morial, the first African-American Mayor of New Orleans; and Paul Morphy, one of the earliest world champions of chess.
I sat down for a Q+A with Gabby Bernstein, best-selling author, speaker, and spiritual teacher. Gabby gave me her tips on staying calm and focused under stress. But first, I asked her how she came to spirituality. GABBY: I knew I detoured in my teens and 20’s, and veered away from the spiritual practices I was taught as a child. I tried to find my own way looking for answers outside myself. I was an entrepreneur, running my own PR business from 21-25, and I became addicted to the NYC night life. By the time I was 25, I was severely into drugs and alcohol. I had a food and work addiction too. Those addictions opened me up to reach for something deeper, to reconnect with my spiritual self. HELENE: In the middle of a stressful day, how do you find your anchor—avoid being taken out by the small stuff? GABBY: While we can’t avoid certain experiences, we can experience them differently. We live in a chaotic world and can’t hide from that. So the real question is, what are we going to do about it? A big part of my work is giving people the tools to be […]
