Voodoo Veves and Sacred Vodou Symbols of the Lwa

Voodoo Veves and Sacred Vodou Symbols of the Lwa by Erzulie’s Voodoo New Orleans

Voodoo Veves and Sacred Symbols of the Vodou. Veves are sacred symbols in the Vodou tradition. Veves are used to commune with specific Lwa, call in specific spirits into your ceremony or ritual, and used to strengthen your connection to your guiding Lwa, known as a Met Tet in the Vodou religion.

♥  What Are Veves in Vodou?

As explained in our Voodoo Articles on Haitian Vodou, Vodou Altars and Shrines and the History of Vodou, each Lwa responds to specific colors, sacred offerings, ritual chants, and drumbeats; the same also applies to their sacred Veves.  You will find these Voodoo Veves on our exclusive Vodou Veve Altar Dolls and in our powerful Voodoo Spell Kits.  In traditional Vodou ceremony, Voodoo Veves are drawn on the floor of the temple (ounfo) in cornmeal, or other powders, and activated by specific prayers, call words and offerings by the Mambo or Hougan.

♥  The Role of Veves in Rituals

Which Veve is used in a formal Vodou ceremony, or in your own Voodoo Spells or Vodou rituals for that matter, is dependent upon the Lwa whose assistance you are seeking.   Each Veve design will vary by its specific Vodou house, according to their traditions of the elders too. Each Lwa responds to distinct colors, offerings, chants, and drumbeats — and their veves carry the same sacred resonance. In traditional Vodou ceremonies, veves are drawn on the temple floor with cornmeal or powders, then activated by prayers and offerings from a Hougan or Mambo.

♥  Empower Your Rituals with Sacred Veves

We included the more sought after and requested Voodoo Veves for our beloved customer and clients all over the world to use in their magical Voodoo ritual or for easy reference. Continue reading “Voodoo Veves and Sacred Vodou Symbols of the Lwa” →

New Orleans Voodoo History and New Orleans Voodoo Information

New Orleans Voodoo History and Information

A Glimpse into the History of Voodoo in New Orleans

New Orleans Voodoo History Introduction

A brief history of New Orleans Voodoo by Priestess Kalila Smith, native New Orleans Voodoo practitioner. This provides us a glimpse into the history of Voodoo in New Orleans.  Priestess Kalila has published many books, papers and historical tours on this topic; we couldn’t have found a more renowned expert on New Orleans Voodoo, History of New Orleans Voodoo and accurate New Orleans Voodoo information and thrilled she is part of the Erzulie’s Voodoo family.

African Roots of Voodoo

The roots of Voodoo have been traced all the way back to Africa thousands of years ago. The Yoruba people of Southwestern and eastern Dahomey and Togo/Nigeria founded a great city called Ife. It is from the religious beliefs of Ife that Voodoo as we know it today has evolved.

Haitian Influence and Arrival in New Orleans

In 1799, a slave uprising in Haiti brought the Free People of Color and their Voodoo religion. These people had no reason to believe that they could not come to this city and worship freely.

The First Voodoo Queens

The first Voodoo Queen in New Orleans was Sanite’ DeDe, a young woman who bought her way to freedom, she would later be teacher and mentor to the most famous Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau! She would hold rituals in her courtyard on Dumaine (the same street the original Erzulie’s Voodoo Shop opened) and Chartres Streets, just blocks away from the Cathedral.
