Summary: Very Disappointing
Comment: This "book" is poorly written and poorly researched. This is a prime example of someone "whitewashing" the truth. Whites have done for so long and African-Americans are just following their example. Mary Ellen Pleasant was a weaver of great stories and a great con woman. "Voodoo" was just another tool in her bag of tricks that she used to manipulate very gullible people. Read Helen Holdrege's book for a really detailed chronicle of her life. Most African-Americans hate her book but they just can't handle the truth.

Summary: Voodoo- The Real Story
Comment: Finally! a great book which does not sensationalize the Vodou religion. It dispells many of the myths that surround our most famous Queen, Marie LaVeau as well as giving new insight into her life. As a tour guide in New Orleans I find this book invaluable. It provides a concise outline of the tenets, beliefs, and practices of the Vodou religion and the life of Marie Laveau as well as her protege Mary Ellen Pleasant (mother of Civil Rights in California). The greatest feature of this book is its point of view. Previous authors have concentrated on Vodou as seen from a white-Eurocentric Christian backgound. This book comes to you without the dogma and predjudices. Extremely recommendable for all who study the occult and for those who want to get beyond the zombies and curses of Hollywood "pop" vodou and come to understand the nature of this accepting and benevolent religion.
