Ben Miller in Death in Paradise (2011) Predicting Murder
S1E3
Having read in the chicken bones in front of witnesses including policeman Dwayne that she will be murdered by a scarred man,voodoo priestess Angelique Morel is indeed poisoned,with cyanide apparently stolen from the school where her son-in-law Nicholas Dunham is headmaster and science teacher. Years earlier Nicholas's wife Delilah,Angelique's daughter,had mysteriously disappeared after having an affair with Charles Dean,now a Catholic priest. Camille and the rest of Poole's team are convinced that Angelique found out that Nicholas killed Angelique because she had discovered that he did away with her daughter. But Nicholas has a cast iron alibi. So who is trying to set him up? And what did happen to Delilah ? The appliance of science leads Poole to the answer.
*The celebratory dinner in the final scene takes place at a table in a small covered area across the street from Catherine's Bar. This is the only scene at Catherine's during the Richard Poole era that isn't set inside the bar itself or on the veranda. The now familiar covered deck doesn't appear until Season 3.

Marie Laveau. Voodoo Queen.
Tumblr media
Marie Catherine Laveau (September 10, 1801 – June 15, 1881) was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voodoo, herbalist and midwife who was renowned in New Orleans. Her daughter, Marie Laveau II (1827 – c. 1862), also practiced rootwork, conjure, Native American and African spiritualism as well as Louisiana Voodoo. Her daughter was to me the most powerful one.
Her Real Story. Her house was probably on St. Ann St. She would have lived in a creole cottage similar to the one in this picture but probably not as clean.
Tumblr media
She did have kids with her husband but there's no record of them as adults so they probably died young. Her and her husband did get married at St Louis cathedral he was a Haitian man.Then sometime around 1825 Jacques Perry her husband so called disappeared they tried to make it a big mystery but in all honesty people back then didn't really report that loved ones death. After St Louis cathedral burned down they lost all the records so later on she started calling herself the widow Perry. The story of her actually being a hairdresser there is no record her being a hairdresser there was a book that was written by George Washington Cabal in 1880 who wrote about a voodoo priestess who was a hairdresser and people later on assume that he was speaking about Marie Laveau. There was also another man Kristoff Glapion and one of the stores that they have of him is that he was born a free man of color but record show that he was actually born of two white parents. She wasn't married to this man kristoff because at that time a black woman could not marry a white man but she did stay with him and she stayed with him until his death. They stay together for probably around 30 years and then she includes him in the Perry tomb. After kristoff died she was in so much financial debt they had to sell off the house on Saint Ann Street to pay for his funeral and anything else that needs to be paid off. So she didn't have a place to stay until one of their family friends name Crocker bought the property and let her stay there until she died.
Legend.
The legend of Marie Laveau it runs deep through the veins of New Orleans. The Voodoo priestess was believed to have been born free in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, about 1794, the daughter of a white planter and a free Creole woman of color.
The source of this power was the Voodoo religion and its queen, Marie Laveau. She was worshiped at the same time she's was feared by people of all races. Some people believe that her powers were actually based on a network of informants. Being a hairdresser, she was able to lesson to her clients (mostly white) gossip. She used this inside information to influence and instill fear in her believers. Whether or not the legends of this Voodoo priestess are true, it cannot be denied that she has left her mark on the city. She was buried in Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans in 1881. Her daughter in St Louis cemetery no. 2
Tumblr media
To this day her and her daughters tomb continues to attract visitors who unlawfully desecrate it by marking three “x”s (XXX) on its side, in the hopes that Laveau’s spirit will grant them a wish. Ok, let me say first no one who practices Voodoo whenever desecrate a grave of writing on it second she isn't a voodoo spirit since Louisiana Voodoo is part Haitian and African she's not a elevated spirit. She's a woman that is well known and well respected within our city. What she really is in voodoo. She's a conjured spirit similar to a saint she is called upon to do a specific task.
Tumblr media
Here is a pic I took of the largest international Marie laveau shrine in the US.
Tumblr media
BECOMING A DEVOTEE: these days Marie Laveau devotees are no different they still believe in Jesus and saints, just as Madame Marie did. They go to church, pray the rosary, and work the gris gris. Some voodooist here in New Orleans believe Marie Laveau is one of the Lwa (Loa) in Voodoo tradition. She is honored on many altars and shrines through New Orleans. People pray to her or even make wishes to her. Understand who she was and what she did for people and the city. The rituals and blessings she preformed like the St John's Eve blessings. So get to know her.
BUILDING AN ALTAR Building her altar isn't complicated a statue or pic of her. You can add flowers. Candles white, blue or red or even add her veves. (symbol) (normally she wouldn't have the symbol because she's not a voodoo spirit but she's important so they made one for her anyway)
OFFERING: This can be flowers, mini liquor bottle, cigarettes, cigars. Money she's not picky.
Your relationship with spirit will be different from the next person’s. The connection you make with Marie Laveau will be unique to only you.
This video I took of her shrine in The Healing Center. In New Orleans.
If your in the city check it out on St Claude in the building is the Island of Salvation Botanica own by priestess Sally Ann.

I love messing with the whites! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So my job doing “Team Member Appreciation Week” as if they actually appreciate us 🙄
Tumblr media
So naturally, they want us to dress up. So this chick (I call her Gidget) that works with me said she’s dressed as a voodoo priestess
Tumblr media
(You already know where this is going)
So then I’m looking at her outfit and she look like something out of Game of Thrones and Braveheart lol. She got a deer skeleton head mask and when I asked her what her costume was and she voodoo priestess, I naturally said,
“Ohhh so that’s what we look like, huh?”
She looked at me and said “what the fuck does that mean?!” And I just stared at her.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Mess with my ancestors if you want to, you gon end up in trouble

One of my must-dos during my recent trip to New Orleans was to visit the gravesite of Madame Marie Laveau, famed New Orleans Voodoo Priestess (CORRECTION: or Vodun, which is the culturally respectful term). 
Well…….unfortunately due to a spat of vandalism, public access to her gravesite has been cut off, indefinitely. Fortunately, there is a store located in her old French Quarter flat that sells lots of magical goodies. 
And oh goddess, it did not disappoint. I even had a tarot reading from a magical being named Eshu. 
No photos were allowed inside, but I did manage to get this one of me standing next to a statue of Madame Marie. 
And of course, I couldn’t leave without a few special gifts for my lovely Patreon members (pictured here in the loving embrace of Our Lady of Guadeloupe). Thanks to each of you for your monthly donation in support of my channel! 
Bisous!

The Crookits (#16)
Did some digging and found a 'Marie Laveau', a practitioner of voodoo (among others such as Louisianan Voodoo: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisi…). Seemed like a good starting point/reference for a character to be later added after some more sketch drafts. Now we’ve got the thee witch types: classic green-faced witch, a fairy godmother-type witch, and the voodoo priestess. She’d be a reluctant mentor of sorts for Babs and Wicka and greater extent, Hailey. She is very old, being from the 1700s during the height of voodoo practice in the area.

A Past King of Haiti
Tumblr media
It’s the dawn of the 19th century, and the recently liberated Republic of Haiti is under attack by its former French overlords, who seek to reconquer the Caribbean nation and force its people back into slavery. In a desperate search for aid, a Haitian voodoo priestess has descended into the island’s bowels, uncovering the fossilized remains of a long-deceased apex predator whom she hopes to resurrect so it can help her people defend their newly won freedom.
It’s a fanciful scenario, I admit, but given that many of the Caribbean islands are thought to have emerged during the Cretaceous Period (including Hispaniola, the island on which stand the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic), it seems conceivable to me that some dinosaurs from the North American mainland could have found their way to those islands, depending on well they could swim. As of this writing, it remains to be seen whether we will ever uncover any of their fossils.

Angelique hires Vicky to find her missing brother. Angelique is kind and sweet and tells Vicky how her parents were killed because of Voodoo but she is not what she seems. A corpse risen by Voodoo hunts Angelique.
It's revealed that the zombie was sent by Papa Samedi. Angelique hunted Papa Samedi for years to take back her brothers body. Papa Samedi traps her brothers soul within a pendant because as long as the siblings are separated she's not that strong.
She appears to be 25 but in reality is ancient. Papa Samedi reveals Angeliques true nature. Angelique and her brother kill children to stay young and some of those children were from Papa Samedi's flock.
She cut out the hearts of children and feeds on them while they were still beating. The souls of the children called out to Papa Samedi to stop her or they will never rest until she is dead.
"The two of them was a family from hell,... them two only serve the dark, they bring a lot of people to hell with them"- Papa Samedi

“She won't get out of bed / Shake her snaky hair / Grab her, throw her in the tub / She says, "Coffee and a piece of pie" / She never wears a dress on Sunday / Or any Monday afternoon / This is no goddamn country to wander alone … People turn their heads / She scares little kids / Eyes narrow; jaw is set / She'll fix you with a stare / She keeps her body hidden / Let's her eyes make her bid / I'd wrap her up in a bullet / And shoot her round the world …”
/ Lyrics to the X song “Devil Doll” from More Fun in the New World (1983) /
“Exene’s personality mixes the bored brattiness of a gum-snapping high school smart ass with a poet’s funereal profundity. Early on she did a definitive rock version of Morticia Addams, with black hair and lipstick and eye shadow, sometimes painted all around her eyes like a raccoon. She was queen of the Visigoths, something imagined by Anne Rice.”
/ From a profile of Los Angeles punk band X by John Homans in Details Magazine, August 1993 /
Happy birthday to high priestess of punk, the fierce and uncompromising Exene Cervenka (née Christene Lee Cervenka on 1 February 1956)! The spooky poetess / twisted bride / voodoo dolly / intense frontwoman of Los Angeles punk band X turns 68 today. Alongside Darby Crash of The Germs, Exene is *the* iconic face (and snarling voice) of first-generation LA punk.
