At seven-teeN left mom and dad a note it only said "gone fishing". I broke open the pig on my dresser it only contained three dollars, not nearly enough to get me a buss ticket. Packed my duffel-bag with a few changes of clothes. And started walking south for no other reason than it was October and the Tennessee chill had been getting to me. I caught a ride the next morning the entire length of I-65 south and the driver had spent most of the trip talking about how he had been a cop in new Orleans. That was probably the reason I chose to make that my destination. The next ride I got in Mobil al. Took me right to bourbon St. where I met up with a guy who called himself flaming Eddie. Eddie played the guitar for change and compromised his morels for places to stay. I ran around with him for about three days. Eddie he introduced me to a family of gypsies who read tarot cards on Jackson square. The leader of the clan told me that if I gave him half of what I made he would teach me to tell fortunes and give me a place to stay in the garden district. (I had read many books by Anne rice and poppy bright and thought this was very cool.) After six months had passed and the gypsies had taken me for everything I had managed to save, I drunkenly stumbled into a voodoo shop got a reading from the queen of voodoo and began my walk toward becoming a bokar priest. The next ten years of my life were spent In constant battle with everyone who even mentioned the name Jesus, I became one of the best tarot card readers in America. I had regular clients who flew in from Haiti for readings. I started an occult group called the order of the Babylonian rose and a group called the coven of Lucas. The more power the more fame and the more money I acquired the emptier I became. None of it ever lasted. I was a subculture celebrity and I was bored with it. I was bored with everything then came Katrina and I loaded up my stuff and the voodoo lady and went back to tennessee. The voodoo lady showed my parents no respect what so ever and after the storm presumed that she had power over me to order me to return to new Orleans with her. I told her I would not she threatened me with curses now some of you might not think voodoo is real but let me assure you it is very real and it works they can put a curse on someone and it will do what they want it to (unless that person i covered by the blood of the lamb). Now my mother had never stopped with the prayers I always refereed to as the Jesus hex’s so when I was excommunicated from the voodun religion I asked Jesus to show me his power and he said to me didn’t you get the note "I have gone fishing, now follow me and I shall make you a fisher of men."
Now this story is actually for the most part true I have left out a lot of the details for your own safety
REMEMBER THE POWER OF CHRIST CAN BRAKE ALL CHAINS INCLUDING THOES OF WITCHCRAFT
