“I promised you an interview with the Queen of Voodoo, Marie Laveau. This woman ruled life as it was in 1872, New Orleans. She reigned as the Mamba of the Voodoo religion in Louisiana for countless years. Her talent is legion among the believers.”
“I had the opportunity to sit down with her and ask her some difficult questions. Here is the interview.”
“Good day, Marie. Thank you for agreeing to this interview.”
“Thank you for having me, Catherine. I sense you have an interest in Voodoo but hold back because of your social position. Am I right?”
“Ah, well, I suppose you’re right. I’m here today to talk about you, Marie. What is your title among the believers?”
“Some call me Mamba, some call me priestess, some call me Marie and some even call me Mother. I go by many names. I am a servant of the great one. I serve the believers.”
“You serve the-the great one. What is his name? Who do you serve?”
“I told you, Catherine. I serve the great one. He is known by many names. He is our leader, and I await his pleasure.”
“Really? Because I have information, that states you perform many rituals that involve some very disturbing elements. Is it true you eat the hearts of newborn babies and the young among the believers. Sacrifices continue to include human offerings despite the constables raids and arrests.”
“Catherine, forgive me. I don’t want you to think I am using the position I have been given as a catalyst for my own desires. The constables are mistaken. I govern the believers in the name of our leader.” Marie shares a short laugh. ” You see, I want nothing but the power of our father to shine through.”
“Yes, yes, of course. You want what’s best for the believers. Correct?”
“Yes, and with that said, I want to thank you for the opportunity to share this space in time with your readers. Their belief in our devotion is welcome and cherished. I invite them to contact me for more on our religion and the strength of discovery.”
“Marie, one last question? Are you responsible for the curse on Morgan Latimar? A simple yes or no will suffice.”
“No. It is an insult for you to ask me that question. I curse no one in such a way. My power is to heal. This interview is over. Good day, madam.”

Well, goodness, Catherine. She is bossy–“This interview is over.” Please don’t let her put a curse on you. *wink* 🙂 This was a great interview.
I know, right? I wanted answers and she was totally evasive. Morgan said she wouldn’t be cooperative. *wink* Thanks!
What a great character, Catherine. Loved this. Hugs
Elusive and dangerous – that’s Marie. I’ll share the interview with Laura soon. Thanks once more. 🙂
