In New Orleans, gris-gris is often carried in the form of a doll or a bag and serves as a means of carrying a charm, prayer, or spell wherever one goes. The celebrated Voudou Queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau, was especially renowned for her powerful gris gris charms, which traditionally contained magickal symbols or vévés written in dragon's blood ink on parchment and sewn into cloth or leather bags. Her clients spent thousands of dollars on these charms and swore by their effectiveness.
Voodoo Mama's Authentic New Orleans Gris Gris Charms are handcrafted according to old-fashioned folk traditions and filled with herbs, roots, minerals, and curios chosen for their historical associations in the New Orleans Voudou and conjure traditions. Each charm is ritually prepared, blessed, and charged for its intended purpose, creating a portable spiritual ally that may be carried in a purse, pocket, briefcase, vehicle, or placed upon an altar.
Each gris gris comes packaged in a keepsake box and includes instructions for use.
