A Black Pyramid Vèvé Room Find

~!~ This is another of our very long listings with an abundant text and 11 photographs! So please sit back and read the write-up through. If you have come this far, we think you will find it was worth the wait. It has now been nearly twenty-four and a half years ago since we were called to do an 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 to make us decide 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 Voodoun 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. This is one of a few pieces from this estate we will be listing 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.~!~Some Back Story
Found in what was named "The Black Pyramid Vèvé Room," this room was an interesting work of architecture. Windowless and located just above the Main Ballroom in the center of the mansion, it was only accessible through a trapdoor and cast iron spiral staircase from the storage room above it. The floor was four feet below the Main Ballroom ceiling, well concealed by the baroque architecture. The architect had concealed the room in the floor above by surrounding it with four guest suites, it was dead center in the mansion. Painted black, with ebony flooring and paneling, the contents of the room consisted of seven, LiDiex Black Glass and Silver, charging pyramid boxes and their contents. Measuring exactly twelve feet x twelve feet with a twelve foot ceiling, the room was well concealed by the architecture of the building, but was stifling as there was no ventilation, the only air coming from the trap door above and that was not much. Only a few of us went into this room to recover and inventory the contents and none of us could stay in there for more than a few minutes, it was, well, disorientating. This was another room with no wiring for electrical power and on the floor were the remnants of previously used vèvé's that we assume were drawn with the chalky powder found in one of the pyramids. The remaining six pyramids contained an interesting assortment of jewelry, gems, mineral specimens and a host of eclectic items that she kept inventoried in a separate journal concerning the ceremonies conducted in this room. The pyramids ranged in size from 9" x 9" x 7" to 3' x 3' x 2.2', so this was a massive undertaking as most of these pyramids were too big, heavy and/or fragile to get out of there safely, full as they were. Concerning the pieces from this room she writes, "I have used these pieces to awaken psychic perception and mystical awareness and have found them to strengthen my memory and as an aid in dreaming. I continue to receive insight and inspiration from them." And; "Many of the ones awakened have sought refuge here, most being complacent in their worlds. They will come if called to a blood match." In these journals she makes some fantastic claims concerning these items and real or imagined, we understand why she and her associates were as feared and respected as they were. We can attest that pieces from this room have shown to possess some remarkable attributes or association with what might be called paranormal activity. Some of those who have had access to these items and/or their photographs have been quoted as feeling ill or nauseous, often followed by a feeling of warmth, well being, happiness and power. In addition there are numerous reports from those who claim to have perceived, felt, saw, sensed, etc., at the very least movement in and/or around the stones or jewelry settings, many times directly related to them, but you be the judge. ~!~ The Gems Gems were found loose, lining the bottom of many her spell boxes and these pyramid boxes were no exception. She notes of using these gems "as sacred center stones" indicating their "placement upon the chakra to induce a specific response or action." Many of them were also ingested, but that is another story as this is not a "Right of Passage" stone. ~!~ Thai Trade Raw Ruby Her journals and inventory tell us this 14.2875 x 14.2875 x 4.7625 mm, 7 ct., faceted round cut raw ruby gem was cut from one of the many specimen she bought from a Northern Thailand vendor in 1959. This foray into Thailand was to research and study the regional occult and necromantic practices of the region.

The gem is of fair cut and good color of highly included material with some transparency.

Some of her journal entries concerning this raw ruby read, “This is a heart chakra stone, and an invocation tool for Raphael.”

“Their color brings light and change into your world.”

“Wear it to shed the body of toxins.”

"It is a true anahata talisman that will allow your will to affect the decisions of others".

Our own research revealed Anahata as the fourth primary chakra, according to the Hindu, Yogic, Shakta, and Tantric Buddhist traditions. In Sanskrit, anahata translates to English as unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten. Anahata Nad refers to the Vedic concept of unstruck sound, the sound of the celestial realm. Anahata usually is associated with a calm serene sound that is void of violence. The Anahata chakra is positioned in the central channel in the spine at the heart region, with its kshetram or superficial activation site actually in the heart region between the two breasts.

It is represented by a smoke-grey lotus flower, with 12 petals. Inside of it is a smoke-colored region that is made from the intersection of two triangles, creating a shatkona. The shatkona is a symbol used in Hindu Yantra that represents the union of both the masculine and feminine form. More specifically it is supposed to represent Purusha (the supreme being), and Prakriti (mother nature, or causal matter). Often this is represented as Shiva - Shakti. The deity of this region is Vayu, who is smoke colored, four-armed, holding a kusha and riding upon an antelope, the animal of this chakra.

The seed syllable is the mantra 'Yam', dark-grey in color. Within the bindu or dot above the syllable resides the deity Isha (Lord in an all pervading form). Isha is either shining white or blue in color, has either 1 or 5 faces with 3 eyes on each face; has 2, 4 or 10 arms, is clad in a tiger skin, holds a trident and a drum and/or is making gestures of granting boons and dispelling fear. His shakti is Kakini, who is shining yellow or rose in color. She has a number of variations, having either 1, 3 or 6 faces, 2 or 4 arms, and holding a variety of implements, occasionally a sword, shield, skull and trident. She is seated on a red lotus.

The twelve petals are vermilion in color, and upon them are inscribed the syllables kam, kham, gam, gham, ngam, cham, chham, jam, jham, nyam, tam and tham in Sanskrit. They match the vrittis of lust, fraud, indecision, repentance, hope, anxiety, longing, impartiality, arrogance, incompetence, discrimination and defiance.

Anahata is considered the seat of the Jivatman, and Para Shakti. In the Upanishads, this is described as being like a tiny flame that resided inside the heart. Anahata is so called because it is in this place that sages hear that sound (Anahata – Shabda) which comes without the striking of any two things together.” It is associated with the element of air, the sense of touch, and with actions of the hands.

Anahata is associated with the ability to make decisions outside of the realm of karma. In Manipura and below, man is bound by the laws of karma, and the fate he has in store for him. In Anahata, one is making decisions, 'following your heart', based upon one's higher self, and not from the unfulfilled emotions and desires of lower nature. As such, it is known as the heart chakra. It is also associated with love and compassion, charity to others, and forms of psychic healing.

Meditation on this chakra is said to bring about the following siddhis, or occult powers; he becomes a lord of speech; he is dearer than the dearest to women; his senses are completely under control, and he can enter at will into another's body.

Final Commentary Concerning these lots are some of the following excerpts from the written statement of one of the principals; "When we first entered this room we used pocket led flashlights, commonly known as tactical lights, this room lit up like a light show as we directed the beams, the three of us said "did you see that?" Among other things." "When we ran 2000 watts of light down there, the lights shut down, period. They just would not work in the room. We checked the generators and the lights worked fine out of that room, but in it, no go. Regular, battery operated flashlights went dead in there too, fresh batteries went dead in a second." To date, Energizer has not responded. Little more thought was given this until one of us more or less became the caretaker of what was left of her belongings, more because he was the only one able to get to the warehouse alcove where the balance of this estate was being kept due to the way we had packed the volume of merchandise that came into the warehouse over the ensuing years at that time. Although the photographer is no longer commenting on his use of a directed, high intensity led and ultra-violet light in taking some of the photographs, the staff member who retrieved many of these items from "the hole", the warehouse alcove where the balance of the items from this estate are being stored, offers some insight as to what has transpired. "It was typical to be back there and have the power go out, but this can easily be attributed to our weather conditions amid sorry excuse for a power company, but I had taken one of my pocket tac-lights with me and the first time I used it back there was, well, nothing short of phenomenal and overwhelming. This is not a joke, they like the light!" ~!~ 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 11 photographs below to tell the rest of this tale. Buyer to pay $0.00 for Insured Ground Shipping with Tracking and handling with lagniappe. Rest assured your order will be carefully packed to withstand the onslaught of the most deranged of Postal Workers.

International rates will vary, so please email us for quotes. Check our other items as new lots are usually posted daily.©Text and Photos Copyright 2001-2026 bushidobuce, all rights reserved. ~!~
