A Minor Femini Altar Find
~!~

This is another of our very long listings with an abundant text and 7 photographs, so please sit back, and read the write-up through. If you have come this far, we feel you will find it was worth the wait.

Nearly twenty-four years have now passed since we were called to do the estate that had been closed up for seventeen years!

The Voodoo Estate!
This type of call usually gets us excited as they are a treasure trove. Located here in Florida, there was no electricity or running water so we rigged our own lighting and in we went. If you have ever seen the Adams Family you will have some idea as to what we were greeted with! Then the attorney handling the liquidation gave us some background. The estate had belonged to an alleged powerful Voodoo Priestess/JooJoo Exorcist, grand daughter of a Marie Laveau, and favored daughter of a Marie Glapion. These names meant nothing to us, but the late night talk of Voodoo and exorcism in the old mansion was enough for us to spend the night in a hotel and return in the morning to assess the estate. The rest is history. Our research has shown that this woman was what she claimed and was indeed descended from a long line of well known Vodoun family originating in New Orleans in the early 1800's. We were pretty unnerved by this until we discovered they were also devout Catholics! Although I have to admit this was unlike any Catholic home we have ever been in and some of the items found inside were a little more than disturbing. There was no feeling of dread or unwelcome in the mansion, however there was quite a bit of contraband and other items we can or will not sell here. These are some of a few lots from this estate we will be posting this week, so check our other listings. We will, upon the new guardian's request, issue a named Letter of Authenticity with each lot from this estate, complying with the terms set forth to us by the estate's attorney. Back to the Chip Strand
Found hanging in what she had named, "The Minor Femini Altar," which was a small single altar room; "dedicated to the sacred Femini in homage and reverence to the Lunar Goddess of Lore" according to one of her journal entries. Dedicated in 1911, it was used by all of her female associates and staff. A large granite depiction of Guanyin was used as the major deity in this room, its size and placement in obvious reverence indicate this.

Rangda Mahabharata Dancer's Turquoise

This is one of the twenty-seven near identical turquoise chip strands found hanging in a hank at the inner front door of this altar room. Her journals tell us they were strung by her female staff member practitioners, the chips being part of a thirteen pound gift of them from a woman she names as "Rangda of the Rings" and this turquoise has an interesting history.

Her journals tell us of Bali, in 1946, she is once again in the thick of things, this time bringing guns into the country for their struggle against the Dutch. Her contact and guide was the Balinese Shaman she refers to in her notes as, "a man of many names" and, “a man of many faces.” It was he who introduced her to the, "Rangda of the Rings" a Balinese partisan, witch, healer, Mahabharata dancer and jewelry merchant. They developed a relationship that lasted to Rangda's physical death in 1966.

They shared much knowledge of which she writes, "she personifies the wife of Shiva, the Queen of Witches and Goddess of Death. She represents death, decay and germination of life. Akin, we are thrice widowed, allowing us the ability to accumulate the energies required to perform the dark arts. This is not to be construed as a pursuit or worship of evil, but a balance between life and death."

The daughter of accomplished silversmith's, she claimed to have designed numerous pieces of jewelry recovered from this estate. Many of these were used in the drama, dance performances of her country.

One journal entry concerning them reads; "she elicited them to house the divine, demonic presence of Barong with whom she had entered into a pact. Used to harness and direct this spiritual force from heaven to earth."

These strands are alleged to have metaphysical properties for their use at this altar. There are numerous entries in her journals concerning their (the women who used this altar) use of this altar, their contemplations and meditations where Guan Yin was, "revered by placement and facilitation" which we take to mean who was with her at altar, "used as a source of energy for Goddess Invocation, good luck, good health, wealth and protection."

These have been strung together with mono-filament to form these strands measuring approximately 32" in overall length and weighing 51.1 grams.

It is certainly an unusual turquoise chip strand with an extraordinary provenance that is much nicer than our photographer has been able to depict.

We have been contacted and visited by a number of people who were interested in the items from this estate since our first batch was listed. Among the buyers have been known psychics and practitioners. More than one, after adorning themselves or handling their purchase, stated "this is a woman of power!" Many of our customers, after receiving items from this estate have reported dream contacts and other unexplained phenomenon. Unusual, authentic Voodoo Priestess Estate piece and at a bargain price! This is truly a rare opportunity to own anything with attributes to this estate. The majority of this estate is now gone. Most of what we had left, and it was considerable, has been split up and sold to a couple of private, foreign collector practitioners and will never be available to the public again. We made the decision to do this as we have had some pretty strange visits from even stranger individuals and there have been enough unexplained phenomenon going on in the warehouse where her things were kept that many of our employees refused to go in there. The pieces offered and sold here are some of the few remaining pieces that will ever be offered to the public. Nice addition to any collection, altar, wardrobe or decor, displays really well. Really doesn't get any better than this. There are only 7 photographs below to tell the rest of this tale. Buyer to pay $0.00 for Insured Ground Shipping with tracking, handling and lagniappe.

Rest assured your order will be carefully packed to withstand the onslaught of the most deranged of parcel carriers.
