"The Magic of Marie Laveau is a monumental piece of work. As an active member of the New Orleans Voodoo Spiritual Temple since the year 2000, Marie Laveau is a spiritual force I have venerated, served and benefited from in countless ways, and I have striven to know and learn more about her throughout that entire time and continue to do so. The Magic of Marie Laveau is as unique as is the author Denise Alvarado, who as an academic and practitioner marries both rivers into a wonderful book of impressive research, historical legacy and hands on magical work for the reader, something that is not common and unprecedented in regards to Marie Laveau. I learned a great deal from reading The Magic of Marie Laveau, and believe this will be a book that will become definitive in the continually growing legacy of the greatest Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. A must have for your collection and a truly wonderful read."

“The Magic of Marie Laveau includes practical workings and "gris-gris" that provide a "hand up" to the reader in addition to lyrically presented and well-informed information about Ms. Laveau and the world in which she walked.”

“The Magic of Marie Laveau is the ideal blend of the academic and the mystical. Denise Alvarado creates a historic understanding of how Mlle. Laveau not only shaped the traditions and culture of New Orleans Voodoo but also influenced all Hoodoo and Conjure practices around the world. Through the biography of Mlle. Laveau, Alvarado teaches that your daily spiritual practice and compassionate works are integral to your magical prowess. There is so much to learn in this book, reading it a second and third time is a must.”
