Madam 12" Tall

A much-discussed topic today when it comes to Hoodoo or Root work is La Madama. Many people don't know who she really is, and there seems to be a lot of misinformation. So, who is La Madama? One of the mistakes many people make is that La Madama is just one female spirit. In reality, a Madama is one of many spirits. These are famous female conjurers who practiced Voodoo or were slaves who died. They are often women who practiced Santería or Palo Monte in life. They typically appear wearing plaid aprons or skirts and also wrapping their hair in fabrics, all of the same color. There are many La Madama spirits around the world.
