This is another of our very long listings with an abundant text and 10 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.

Twenty-four and a half 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 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 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. 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 we have 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 large 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. Measuring exactly twelve feet x twelve feet with a twelve foot ceiling, the room was well concealed, but it was stifling down there as there was no ventilation, the only air coming from the trap door above and that was not very much. 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. 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 curiosities 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 were too big, heavy and/or fragile to get out of there safely, full as they were. In these journals she makes some fantastic claims concerning these items. She continues with entries that read, " 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 these pieces." 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." ~!~ 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 or even their photographs have said they have felt disorientated or ill, some perceived, felt, saw, sensed, dreamt of, etc., at the very least movement in the stones, many times directly related to them, but you be the judge.

The Ring

Her journals and inventory tell us it was custom made for her own use. These custom made pieces of jewelry were generally made from silver, using specifically sourced metals and gemstones she had personally obtained for their specific qualities and history.

This ring is one of a small number of companion pieces found in this room which she claims to have worn as an aid and enhancement in and of past life regression dream sessions.

She also tells us she would wear this ring to ward off outside negative influences that had affected, or entered through specific organs, body parts, or subconscious due to traumatic past life events, which she claims, "the wearing of the ring while reciting prayer will readily alleviate."

She also tells us the ring was made by an unnamed New Orleans silversmith in 1958 and that only a single order of seven rings was completed due to his death.

Examination reveals a well made high grade silver ring with a prong set 14.2875 x 6.35 mm faceted oval pyrope garnet gem and sixteen, 1.5875 mm cut round pyrope garnet gems further described in detail below.

The ring bears an unidentified mark, most likely a maker's mark with no assay mark and tests at .950 Silver Standard.

It is a ring size 7.5 and the ring face measures approximately 13/16" x 1/2" x 1/4" and weighs 5.4 grams.

The Silver

More often than not, their metal of choice was silver as she notes, "Silver is the mirror of the soul related to the moon energies. It strengthens connections of the astral and physical bodies. A metal unmatched in its psychic energies and healing abilities, I have used it as a spell medium, to heal the speech impaired and to help public speakers achieve eloquence. Induced into the drink, it has expelled the toxins that caused headaches, arthritis, intestinal and blood disorders. More importantly it attracts, enhances and stores energies of gemstones, driving out negative energies the stone may have absorbed."

Amalgam Silver

There are many of her journal entries pertaining to their custom made pieces of jewelry being made from, "amalgam silver and or gold" taken from some pretty unsavory sources. They tell of the ceremonious rituals in which they would remove the unwanted minerals such as mercury which was later used in potions, elixirs, amulets and glass.

The silver in this ring is alleged to be this "Amalgam Silver."

Third Eye Mine Pyrope Garnet

Her journals attribute the pyrope garnet gem used in this ring to a vein of pyrope garnet found in one of the South African mines she held interest in. Allegedly the miners, upon finding this load of pyrope began experiencing visions of their ancestors and past lives. She had these stones carefully excavated and shipped to her in 1952 where she used them in ritual spells to enhance their natural abilities.

She writes of these stones; "their power lay in their ability to increase earth energies into the body with extreme grounding properties, stronger than any I have yet to encounter. Their ability to unlock memories of past lives when used as a third eye (placed in the center of the forehead) clearing all negative energy allowing these memories to emerge. I have also found them to stimulate love, passion and fertility, an exciting side affect that I had not expected."

The gem is of very good cut, polish and deep red color that views eye clean with minor loupe visible inclusions.

Guanajuato Bokor's Pyrite

Marcasite or correctly, Pyrite, was frequently used in her jewelry as she notes; "it inspires relaxation and spiritual reflection allowing me greater focus and reflection. I have also found it to be an aid in recalling past life memories."

~!~

Her journal entries pertaining to a Guanajuato Bokor with whom she dealt span a two decade period beginning in 1921.

The cut pyrite stones in this ring are alleged to have been cut from specimen obtained by this Bokor early in his life. She claims his primary use of this pyrite was as "a dream talisman," writing, "this energy is suited to allow entry into and manipulation of the dreams of others and I have used it as such. This is an energy that has been favorably used in dream manipulation of the unborn fetus."

It is certainly a nicely aged, vintage ring with an extraordinary provenance that is much nicer than the photographs are able to depict.

Concerning the photographs are these 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 this lot, more because he was the only one able to get to the warehouse alcove where the balance of this estate was kept due to the way we had packed the volume of merchandise that came into the warehouse over the ensuing years.

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 were 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 and 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, wardrobe or decor, displays really well.

Really doesn't get any better than this.

There are 10 photographs below to tell the rest of this tale.
