Voodoo In the News

Voodoo is still very much alive in Louisiana and elsewhere. You hear the stories, but you don't believe them, but there are many people who still do. Love spells, Curses, and creating zombies. It is said that many different spells could be performed on a person if you had a lock of their hair. Make a voodoo doll, drive them to insanity, slowly torture them.

What would you think if someone attacked you to and stole your hair? Especially in a place like Metairie, LA. while you were visiting the gravesites of lost loved ones. Well I for one, would be very scared. I wonder what kind of spell this man will cast on the woman? He has probably done one already.

Attacker Cuts Woman's Hair at Family Grave Site in Louisiana
METAIRIE, La. (AP) - A man grabbed a woman in a mausoleum, made her kneel and pull her hair into a ponytail, and then cut her hair off close to her head, police said.

It would have to be something a little more specific than normal, perhaps the archetypical voodoo doll. Most people who want to make a person's life a little more unpleasant simply place three red chalk X's on a grave and ask for Marie Leveau's ...'intervention'. Taking the hair, especially that much implies a very specific use directed at that person.

That is, provided he uses it for Voodoun...
