    What should one do after drawing an X on the cup at the Laveau-Glapion tomb?

    Question #109955. Asked by BRY2K. (Oct 19 09 7:14 PM)


    serpa

    		According to sources at Haunted New Orleans Tours, the ritual should be combined with an offering placed in the attached cup: "Draw the X, place your hand over it, rub your foot three times against the bottom, throw some silver coins into the cup, and make your wish" (Haskins 1990). Yet again we are told that petitioners are to "leave offerings of food, money and flowers, then ask for Marie's help after turning around three times and marking a cross with red brick on the stone"

    This site also mentions that the song "Witch Queen of New Orleans" was written about her. Serpa would add "run" to the end of the above list. Serpa don't like voodoo.

    		BRY2K don't like voodoo either...I'd likely run first and never even get to the cup!
