THIS SITE IS PROTECTED BY PAZUZU!THIS WEB SITE IS PROTECTED BY PAZUZU Pazuzu was an Assyrian and Babylonian demonic god of the first millennium BC. He normally has a dog-like face like here, and where his body is depicted he has a scaly torso, a snake-headed penis, the talons of a bird and usually wings. He is often regarded as an evil underworld demon, but he seems also to have played a beneficent role as a protector against disease-bearing winds (especially the west wind). He was closely associated with the demoness Lamashtu who stole babies from their mother's womb or when newly born. Pazuzu acted to counter her evil: he forced her back to the underworld. Amulets of Pazuzu like this were therefore placed in windows hung inside and out of dwellings, attached to bedroom furniture. Smaller versions were hung around the necks of pregnant women.

Author's Note on Vernacular and Colloquialisms Used In Articles On This Site
 

It may be noted by some that many of my "Haunting Tales of Old New Orleans" contain comments, words, and discourse that today might be considered "politically incorrect" in the mind of the average informed reader.  The inclusion of these examples of local vernacular and colloquialisms in the stories and legends presented here is a conscious effort on the part of the author to reproduce, to the greatest extent possible, the atmosphere and mindset of the time in which many of the folktales originated.  It is not meant to offend or provoke, but rather to preserve the realities and daily nuances of an era in New Orleans and Louisiana - the "Creole Epoch" - that, though familiar to older generations, is fast fading from the character of New Orleans.  It is my sincere hope that you read and enjoy these tales in the context and spirit in which they are intended.  Thank you.

What is Lagniappe?

Through out this site you may come across what we so fondly refer to as a lagniappe.

Lagniappe (n.) something extra given at no cost. [From the Spanish " la ñapa" meaning "something extra," which was originally borrowed from Quechuan] (pronounced /lænjæp/, LAN-yap) it is a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase (such as a 13th donut when buying a dozen), or more broadly, "something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure."

The word is chiefly used in the Gulf Coast area of the United States, especially in southern Louisiana.

Mark Twain writes about the word in a chapter on New Orleans in Life on the Mississippi (1883). He called it "a word worth traveling to New Orleans to get":

We picked up one excellent word — a word worth travelling to New Orleans to get; a nice limber, expressive, handy word — "lagniappe." They pronounce it lanny-yap. It is Spanish — so they said. We discovered it at the head of a column of odds and ends in the Picayune, the first day; heard twenty people use it the second; inquired what it meant the third; adopted it and got facility in swinging it the fourth. It has a restricted meaning, but I think the people spread it out a little when they choose. It is the equivalent of the thirteenth roll in a "baker's dozen." It is something thrown in, gratis, for good measure. The custom originated in the Spanish quarter of the city. When a child or a servant buys something in a shop — or even the mayor or the governor, for aught I know — he finishes the operation by saying — "Give me something for lagniappe." The shopman always responds; gives the child a bit of licorice-root, gives the servant a cheap cigar or a spool of thread, gives the governor — I don't know what he gives the governor; support, likely. When you are invited to drink, and this does occur now and then in New Orleans — and you say, "What, again? — no, I've had enough;" the other party says, "But just this one time more — this is for lagniappe." When the beau perceives that he is stacking his compliments a trifle too high, and sees by the young lady's countenance that the edifice would have been better with the top compliment left off, he puts his "I beg pardon — no harm intended," into the briefer form of "Oh, that's for lagniappe."

The word entered English from Louisiana French, in turn derived from the American Spanish phrase la ñapa ('something that is added' ). The term has been traced back to the Quechua word yapay ('to increase; to add'). In Andean markets it is still customary to ask for a yapa when making a purchase. The seller usually responds by throwing in a little extra. Although this is an old custom, it is still widely practiced today in New Orleans, Louisiana. This old traditional custom is also widely practiced in southeast Asia. Street vendors, especially vegetable vendors, are expected to throw in a few green chillies or a small bunch of cilantro with a purchase.

Island of Salvation

We offer a wide assortment of materials for people interested in reaching the Spirit. Many of the items are handmade by Manbo Sallie Ann Glassman.

SALLIE ANN GLASSMAN

Sallie Ann Glassman is an initiated Vodou priestess who calls up and mediates the power of the Spirit. Sallie is internationally recognized for her lectures, art, readings and healing ceremonies.

She is one of a handful of Americans ordained into Vodou in the traditional Haitian initiation. Sallie is passionate about sharing the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of Vodou. Often maligned and misunderstood, Vodou is actually a healing and life-affirming religion. This ancient religion, currently practiced by 50 million people, speaks directly to our troubled world today. She believes that to discover Vodou is to embark on an encounter with divine mystery. Sallie owns the Island of Salvation Botanica, a store and gallery specializing in Vodou religious supply, medicinal herbs, and Haitian and local artwork.

LOUISIANA STATE PARANORMAL RESEARCH SOCIETY

LOUISIANA STATE PARANORMAL RESEARCH SOCIETY - IS REACHING THE OTHER SIDE

LOUISIANA STATE PARANORMAL RESEARCH SOCIETY - IS REACHING THE OTHER SIDE

 

LSPR-Society is a team of Paranormal Investigators whose primary goal is to document, and hopefully, someday scientifically prove the existence of ghosts. We also strive to educate the public, and help those who live with a haunting to deal with their fears and experiences. Although we do not discredit the use of psychics, we use both simple and high-tech electronic equipment to document and substantiate our experiences.

 

We do not use Ouija boards, conduct séances, or use divination to conjure or locate spirits. We do not charge for our services. We investigate both public places and private residences. We are a serious group of professional-minded adults who believe that skepticism is healthy, and that all reasonable explanations should be ruled out prior to declaring an experience to be paranormal in nature. Our main branch is based in Lafayette, La., and we take mainly Louisiana based locations.

 

Although we may occasionally travel outside of Louisiana for certain cases, we can still help anyone in need, from afar. If in need of help outside of Louisiana, we will work with a reputable team to help you with your possible haunting. If you know of a haunted site that you would like to suggest to us, or if you live in a house which you believe might be haunted, please feel free to email us here or on our website lspr-society.com, then go to the link that says “Contact Us”, and send us your contact information, such as your name phone number, email address and your location, with a brief description of your activities you feel could be paranormal. We will contact you shortly to discuss the activities, and make an appointment to meet with you. www.lspr-society.com

Lagniappe:

What is Cajun, exactly? Cajun describes the type of French spoken in southern Louisiana. Originally, French and Acadian (an area of eastern Canada) people settled in the state during the European colonization in the United States. Centuries later, their influence still holds court over parts of Louisiana, especially among the Cajuns.

loupgarou (n.m.) werewolf. Variant: rougarou. [Local legend includes other enchanted forms that humans took. For example, one could be a cheval-garou (enchanted horse) Caimon-garou (alligator- man) Tahyo-garou (hungry dog man) Wowaron-garou (bullfrog man) Cabri-garou (goat man) and the notorius "un chien noir" (The Evil Cajun Black dog)and many more known garou varients.

The loupgarou and other garou phenomena were legends known in the southeastern part of Louisiana and typically unfamiliar to inhabitants of the western prairies.]
