No, not even Alice, for the moment!
The Queen of Voodoo is Marie Laveau, you can find in the cemetery of San Luis n.ro 1, but the funny thing is that, depending on the items, found in the other two tombs.
But first things first ...
In the meantime if you go to the cemetery go there early, at 3 that plays a kind of siren, and if you do not go out and touches you in close step over the boundary walls climbing as Barbary apes. (If you happen to know that along the west wall is affixed to a wooden board to use. Then do not say 'I'm not blog gives valuable tourist informations!)
Then, while you're in, remember that for the ammericani cemeteries are crazy and amazing stuff, they generally prefer to be buried in the floor, flat plates with a lid on it and died there (in fact). That is to say, per se Sal Luis Cemetery is beautiful but it's nothing special, it is little ... remembers her grandmother's village cemetery Montagnino, just a little 'decadent and most labyrinthine:
While walking cleave to one of the many guides cimiterifere and enjoy the strange mix of human material (ranging from Canadian octogenarian grandmother, the emo girl with fiery red hair and eyes pitted from the Egyptian goddess, through the family with children who hide among the graves to cause seizures passers faint of heart as Alice).
And then pricked their ears, because the Queen of Voodoo has two stories and two graves.
The first grave is official, has a plate and some small gift that floats in a puddle. the guide will tell you that Marie Laveau had 15 children, married twice and had a beauty salon that allows you to know all the gossip and inciucci first-hand, in short, was a well sciura informed that if he knew the play well.
On the walls there are three pairs of spreaders: Legend has it that to make a wish should be done three crosses, turn around the tomb three times and leave a gift.
front of this tomb there is always a row of tourist groups, and then after a while, 'you break the balls (at least, Alice breaks balls) and started to wander around your affairs in areas less traveled. It is then that you will stop in front of another perplexing tomb. He is on the west side, is not marked on the map and travel guide does not pass us by grave robbers. But ...
Sior guardian, with whom he attacked button (at least if you are attacked Alice button) will explain that that is the tomb of Marie Laveau, the REAL grave, "Once there was the name on the tombstone, but people kept stealing it and then not now I put more. The other is buried his niece, the same name, so that she too was good in the arts of Voodoo, but as the mother, she steals the mica plate. "
Sior keeper will tell you how the Vodoo forced a hybrid between Catholicism and animism:
of God there is always only one, but to speak to us and to intercede need the help of the spirits, which can be very fickle and they have specific needs, then take a pen and paper Write down and:
If your desire is material, object or thing, then after making the statements, and roundabouts have to leave a coin as a token or a shell. If what you desire is an emotion, you have to offer a stone.
If you need to influence someone (or "tune in to someone" in the words of the guardian) then you must make a gift that symbolizes that person. Recently
abound bracelets and tricks (lipsticks, perfumes rimmell ...) but the warden does not know what they mean, "is new stuff, that." The night people
crosses and still bears the gift small animals as sacrifices, mostly cats or birds. Before you "tune" the animal, then kill him, using his blood to paint crosses and burn the body, fluttering true that brings up the demand and desire on the upper floors.
In fact, when Alice and Grit pass before the tomb of the King of Vodoo do not need anyone to tell them: there is a boy, standing, who whispers before the grave without a name, something based on the ground, sees that there are two nag him look like schimmie curious and walks away.
Who knows which of all these strange "gifts" is left to him?
There was an ultrasound, a condom is closed, the giftcards, a driver's license, a plastic Indian, many bracelets, rubber bands, tweezers, hair ... and picks. Many picks. I knew it that guitarists are all beautiful and damned!
If the Vodoo not give a damn and you're more interested in scientific aspects of architectural and here's another gruesome curiosity
Graves, a When closed, must remain bulwarks for one year and one day.
Alice grave robbers!
In New Orleans there is always a space limit and a limit religious must be buried and not cremated but there is no land available ... what? Easy, two-storied tomb! In the meantime when you are stiff
not put you in a coffin but there wrapped in a cloth and park on the upper floor. Among the top floor and the lower floor there is a floor grate, a bit 'like the barbecue grill.
As the climate and terribly hot and terribly humid, once a walled tomb works from a small furnace and after a year and One day, when you reopen it, the upstairs there are only little bones that are wiped clean downstairs and voila, that no place on the next!
To conclude, then do not say that there Penzo, a bit 'of film credits, so that we welcome a little'!
This is a false tomb. made for the next film by Nicholas Cage. It 's a shame teribbile, was donated to the cemetery and it appears that the cemetery will keep him
(Oh, and one in the foreground is the Sior Guardian, of course!)
This tomb but here is true, and happens to be Italian ... and is the master in one of Filmz loved by Grit ... that it demanded a book of photographs from every possible angle ... And no, I give you any help, which is super easy !
