Thank You Lady Erzulie
In her dormitory room, Evangeline examined the ‘Special Romance Candle”, which she bought today from Madame Laveau’s House of Voodoo on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
The candle was a plea to the Haitian spirit, Lady Erzulie, for assistance with awakening the attention of her classmate and unrequited love, Gabriel.
The clerk in the shop promised “An Evening of Unforgettable Passion.”
Evangeline placed the lighted candle on the table next to her bed and prepared for the spell to work.
She slipped out of all her clothes, climbed under the covers, and eagerly waited for a knock on her door.
