voodoo queen
New Orleans conjurer
A voodoo queen is a female spiritual leader and practitioner of voodoo, particularly associated with New Orleans tradition.
The term evokes figures who commanded community respect through healing, divination, and ritual work.
Marie Laveau remains the archetypal voodoo queen in American imagination.
The phrase sometimes appears loosely for any woman perceived as wielding mysterious influence: She runs that office like a voodoo queen.
