She
learned
that
dried
snake
powder
,
placed
in
the
face
powder
of
an
enemy
,
will
produce
blindness
,
and
that
an
enemy
can
be
made
to
drown
herself
by
taking
a
piece
of
her
underwear
,
turning
it
inside
out
,
and
burying
it
at
midnight
under
a
brick
.
Mama
Zouzou
showed
the
Widow
Paris
the
World
Wonder
Root
,
the
great
and
the
little
roots
of
John
the
Conqueror
,
she
showed
her
dragon
’
s
blood
,
and
valerian
and
five
-
finger
grass
.
She
showed
her
how
to
brew
waste
-
away
tea
,
and
follow
-
me
water
and
faire
-
Shingo
water
.
All
these
things
and
more
Mama
Zouzou
showed
the
Widow
Paris
.
Still
,
it
was
disappointing
for
the
old
woman
.
She
did
her
best
to
teach
her
the
hidden
truths
,
the
deep
knowledge
,
to
tell
her
of
Elegba
,
of
Mawu
,
of
Aido
-
Hwedo
the
voudon
serpent
,
and
the
rest
,
but
the
Widow
Paris
(
I
shall
now
tell
you
the
name
she
was
born
with
,
and
the
name
she
later
made
famous
:
it
was
Marie
Laveau
.
But
this
was
not
the
great
Marie
Laveau
,
the
one
you
have
heard
of
,
this
was
her
mother
,
who
eventually
became
the
Widow
Glapion
)
,
she
had
no
interest
in
the
gods
of
the
distant
land
.
If
St
.
Domingo
had
been
a
lush
black
earth
for
the
African
gods
to
grow
in
,
this
land
,
with
its
corn
and
its
melons
,
its
crawfish
and
its
cotton
,
was
barren
and
infertile
.
"
She
does
not
want
to
know
,
"
complained
Mama
Zouzou
to
Clémentine
,
her
confidant
,
who
took
in
the
washing
for
many
of
the
houses
in
that
district
,
washing
their
curtains
and
coverlets
.
Clémentine
had
a
blossom
of
burns
on
her
cheek
,
and
one
of
her
children
had
been
scalded
to
death
when
a
copper
overturned
.
"
Then
do
not
teach
her
,
"
says
Clémentine
.
"
I
teach
her
,
but
she
does
not
see
what
is
valuable
—
all
she
sees
is
what
she
can
do
with
it
.
I
give
her
diamonds
,
but
she
cares
only
for
pretty
glass
.
I
give
her
a
demi
-
bouteille
of
the
best
claret
and
she
drinks
river
water
.
I
give
her
quail
and
she
wishes
to
eat
only
rat
.
"
"
Then
why
do
you
persist
?
"
asks
Clémentine
.
Mama
Zouzou
shrugs
her
thin
shoulders
,
causing
her
withered
arm
to
shake
.
She
cannot
answer
.
She
could
say
that
she
teaches
because
she
is
grateful
to
be
alive
,
and
she
is
:
she
has
seen
too
many
die
.
She
could
say
that
she
dreams
that
one
day
the
slaves
will
rise
,
as
they
rose
(
and
were
defeated
)
in
LaPlace
,
but
that
she
knows
in
her
heart
that
without
the
gods
of
Africa
they
will
never
overcome
their
white
captors
,
will
never
return
to
their
homelands
.
