Askia sits down with New Orleans Voodoo Queen Bloody Mary to break down the real difference between voodoo and hoodoo, the truth behind how voodoo dolls work, and what actually happened to the "Katrina Cannibal." Bloody Mary also shares personal encounters with incubus and succubus spirits, Mothman, and an ancient entity that nearly stopped her heart. This one gets dark, deep, and wildly educational.

Bloody Mary's family roots in New Orleans go back to 1699, she is connected to Marie Laveau, and she has spent decades as a practicing Voodoo Queen and self-described Necro-therapist who helps both the living and the dead find peace. In this conversation, she unpacks the real history behind Marie Laveau and Madame LaLaurie, corrects what American Horror Story got wrong, and explains why the Voodoo Queen Bloody Mary moniker connects to mirror scrying and Mary I of England.
She walks through the mechanics of spiritual energy harvesting, explains voodoo possession stories from Bourbon Street tourists to full ceremonial Mambo initiation, and breaks down a voodoo wedding ceremony she legally performed. She also clears up the Hollywood myths around voodoo dolls (they are not just for curses), animal sacrifice, and the rougarou legend lurking in the Louisiana swamps.
The conversation gets especially heavy when Bloody Mary recounts the true story of Zach Bowen and Addie Hall, two bartenders who stayed in New Orleans through Katrina and descended into tragedy. She debunks the "Katrina Cannibal" myth and explains why she preserved artifacts from the crime scene in her museum as a memorial.
If you have ever wondered about incubus and succubus encounters, the Casket Girls of New Orleans, or what it actually feels like when a spirit tries to occupy your body, this episode answers all of it with zero filter
