The
New Orleans That Was...
“Stories of Old
New Orleans”
The Bone Pile
"Throughout
the world there are many, varied and
curious ways of disposing of the dead.
In the mountains of Abyssinia is a people
who believe a man should be buried where
he dies without pomp or ceremony; neither
should the remains be moved from the
exact site of death one foot more than
is necessary."
This practice is thousands of miles
away; let us come to our own country,
and in New Orleans we find another queer,
unique mode of burial. In order to more
clearly understand this mode of burial,
we should first know something of her
cemeteries, which are more than thirty
in number.

Marie
Le Veau
“…One
of the most famous great open Voodoo
ceremonies of the Western world was
staged by Marie leVeau.
Upon a throne of living reptiles, Mare
le Veau’s amber-skinned body,
arrayed in a short skirt of fig leaves,
swayed like the hanging reptiles draping
her make-shift throne. Her round, firm
breast, cause of many a duel –
rose and fell in slow, even, tantalizing
rhythm. Her arms were limp and gently
swaying. Her dainty feet rested upon
the back of a huge alligator with mouth
propped open and suffering the tortures
of Hades.
