🖤 🔮✨😈 Surprise, b!tch...It's open enrollment at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies and even though we've graduated, we're back for more shenanigans as we mentor young witches (and pumpkins) with a rewatch of AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN! The characters are iconic, the plot is peculiar and the laughs (and trauma) are supreme, so put on your best blackest black garb and your pointy witches hat and let 'em know who's the baddest witch in town 🚬💀🕯️🎃

The Movie Buff

The ending of this episode is such a tearjerker this is the episode that gave Jessica the Emmy

Leave it to me to find a Hannibal connection in all things: Both Hannibal and Myrtle play the theremin. 😂

Petty Pumpkins

they do oddly seem like a match made in heaven 😂 would love to see them interact!

Love the sort of random Stevie cameo so much. Feels important to say that Papa Legba is not a malevolent deity in his religion of Haitian Vodou (or its successors such as Louisiana voodoo) who wants to take souls via baby/innocent sacrifice (let alone take souls at all), or who wants people to die--like he's usually portrayed in Western media. He's a benevolent-neutral deity that guards the passageway between the spirit and mortal worlds, serves as a messenger between the two, and often acts as a teacher of spiritual lessons (he's sometimes portrayed as a trickster, but his tricks are tests to teach people benevolent lessons). This is why Merrick called upon him in ep 6 of TVL when summoning Claudia's spirit. His closest Western parallel is Hermes...I know all this bc my mostly non-Black High School and their white lady director who was obsessed w Haitian culture decided to do Once on this Island, accents and all--YIKES. Though at least we were taught a lot. It's sad that to this day Western culture/media still portray Voodoo in a dark light, typically as dark magic (True Blood also did this) instead of a legitimate religion equivalent to "shamanic" ones like Paganism. As a result Papa Legba is portrayed in the same darkness, yet Hermes gets to be the narrator of Hadestown.

I can't believe you guys live in Dallas and have never been to Louisiana! You GOTTA come to New Orleans and eat EVERYTHING. We also have really fun theatrical ghost tours through some really cool areas of the city, and lots of crystal/voodoo/witchy shops with super cool shop owners. If y'all ever come through let us know; I'm sure there are many petty pumpkins in Nola! We'll give you the full tour and you will both leave at least 10 pounds heavier (and it'll be worth it). 😂

I really hate this characterization of Papa Legba. It doesn’t at all match up with the figure from the various West African religious traditions.
