THE CRUCIAL NEW ORLEANS. A GRIS-GRIS BOUTIQUE.
The Crucial New Orleans (The Crucial) welcomes you to our online Gris-Gris boutique. We have endeavored to present this unique concession to cater to today’s upward bound men and women consciously seeking healing, restorative alternatives, and organic support in the various arenas of living. Released to the public eight years ago, our beloved clients, friends, and family continue to boast the usage of our herbals to harmonize their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
Born, raised, and based in this beloved City (New Orleans), we boast being organically ordained through lineage to uphold the legacy and works of New Orleans Gris-Gris and its Queen: Marie Laveau. We are dedicated to maintaining, edifying, and celebrating the TRUE New Orleans legacy of the “old school” root men and women who fearlessly served the minds, bodies, and souls of humanity during the most extreme time periods in the history of humanity - against all odds.
Our exclusive line of Gris-Gris products, The Crucial No. 7, is crafted to reflect the depths and connections of humanity’s foundation of supporting roots; the beauty of the branches that reflect the many directions and opportunities for the collective growth of ALL. The Crucial seeks to expand one’s options to reanimate his/her current state of being through the usage of herbal blends and the affect that the spiritual arts have on the human psyche, the human soul. Being more than one-part beings, we cater to all elements that comprise the human.
The application of our organic, chemical free herbal structures demonstrate that medicinal metaphysics is an ART as effective as what can alone seem like rigid and cold confines of science. It is our goal to properly present the coordination and collaboration of these life-supporting studies while incorporating arts and spirituality.
It is our belief that everything living is comprised of the all-encompassing “Spirit”. This includes human beings, animals, plants, minerals, and our favorite: herbs. When the outer physical shell of each entity is “opened”, it releases the spiritual effect and property into the general environment for the intended usages and benefits to the individual, of the WHOLE. For centuries, New Orleans Gris-Gris has merged the seedlings of the New World with old herbalism to support the science of being human.
The temporary relief of pharmaceuticals once blinded many to the extreme strength and power of that which is born in nature. Society is changing and we are becoming more conscious of and open to the healthy faculties of herbs, minerals, and other alternatives akin to the natural, healthy, and magical living experience.
We remain in awareness of current economic and environmental struggles facing humanity, so our products are created with multi-functionality in mind. Our herbal blends can be used for smoking, smudging on charcoal, dressing candles and sachets or consumed as teas and/or wine washes. The herbal powder blends we provide are suitable for wearing, dispensing in the home/business environment, dressing candles and sachets as well as in baths or to anoint treasured items we wish to charge with each energetic formula. It is also of utmost importance to us that our blends serve not only practical needs, but also offer social-economic and health-conscious beauty, pleasure, and alleviation to numerous human conditions.
We are committed to cutting edge, natural solutions that improve the mind, body, and spirit. We’ve grasped the concept that day-to-day living is not only physical, it’s physiological, psychological, and in our world - it’s herbal. Join us. Let’s grow together!
““This is where the gifted talent of the arts meets pragmatic science. This is where survival meets beauty. This is where every fabric of the past is worn in the Holy Now.” ”
WHAT IS GRIS-GRIS IN THE NEW AGE?
“An ideal religion that fulfills all of the needs.” Jean-Michel Basquiat (SAMO)
New Orleans Gris-Gris is an avant garde experience of the practical, healing, and magical elements of herbals, telesmics, spiritual readings, artistic visualization, and pragmatic magico-religious components. We exemplify this native practice utilizing the physics of mystical science and the laws of Divinity and Creation operating in Nature.
Described as form of Soul Survival, New Orleans Gris-Gris is unique and intimately connected to the bloodlines of the Indigenous Brown and Black American peoples of New Orleans, the oldest city in the United States. In its honest representation, it’s a highly syncretic, en masse cohesion of the American spiritualism of the Free Peoples of Color in the West, Ethiopian Christianity, Spiritism, Spiritualism, Hoodoo, and Voodoo.
Our sublime cosmology is an art of strength, perseverance, and survival within the natural that additionally combines elements of the sciences of biology and the anatomy, astrology, and the Tarot (Torah, Scroll of The High Priestess).
The Crucial New Orleans is dedicated to the preservation of the New Orleans Gris-Gris & The Spirit Church’s exposition of the ideology of each person’s direct connection and access to the Power of Our Creator God. We promote a personal revolution and exploration of each soul’s discovery of its own unique and solitary path.
Though heavily influenced by the blood lineage of the Practitioner, in Gris-Gris, any perceived concept of definitive dogma or centralized social structure is governed by the Spirit, alone. The Truth, Justice and Authenticity of the work is justified and measured by outcomes. Humanity is now prepared to embrace this spirit-based and therapeutic pseudoscience that is conducive to surviving the current spiritual and social climate of the New Age.
In the name of Love and Purpose, we welcome you to The Crucial New Orleans: In The Legacy of Queen Marie Laveau.
“All healing comes from God…a Spiritual Healer acts as a channel for this healing energy; not as its source. Even if the Healer works in conscious cooperation with healing guides, in Spirit, they all work together, as a unified channel for God’s healing ”
