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. An alternate spelling of her name, Laveaux, is considered by historians to be from the original French spelling. Laveau’s powers reportedly included healing the sick, extending altruistic gifts to the poor, and overseeing spiritual rites.read more

Description of Christophe Dominick Duminy de Glapion (Marie's plaçage husband):

Christophe Dominick Duminy de Glapion, also known as Louis Christope Dominick Duminy de Glapion, (died c. 1855) was the plaçage husband of the famed Louisiana Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. He was a white man of noble French descent. They began their relationship sometime before 1826, after the death of Laveau's first, legal, husband, Jacques Paris, who disappeared (and was presumed dead) not long after their marriage. De Glapion fathered seven children with Laveau, but only two of these, Marie Heloïse Euchariste Glapion (b. 1827) and Marie Philomène Glapion (b. 1836) survived into adulthood. The youngest became Laveau's successor, the also-famed Marie Laveau II.
