SALLIE ANN GLASSMAN
Counted as one of the twenty most active Voodoo practitioners in the United States, Priestess Manbo Sallie Ann Glassman is known for promoting positive thoughts through her Voodoo faith.
She is also a historian on Voodoo tradition and its roots in Hatian Vodun.
Like many native religions, Vodou (often referred to as "Voodoo") has been scorned and ridiculed in mainstream Judeo-Christian communities.
"The word 'Vodou' sends chills down the spines of most people, and conjures up age-old terrors of sorcery, black magic, and bogeymen lurking under the bed," writes author Sallie Ann Glassman (New Orleans Voodoo Tarot/Book and Card Set).
This enticing compendium of the origins and practice of Vodou makes for a fascinating read, explaining how music, dance, and artistic expression are the heart and soul of this complicated religion.
"What I discovered was a vibrant, beautiful, and ecstatic religion that was free from dogma, guilt or coercion," says Glassman, a thoughtful and articulate Jewish woman who first began studying New Orleans Vodou in 1975.
Sallie Ann Glassman is one of New Orleans well-known modern practitioner of Voodo. She's been ordained in Haiti, lectures around the world about Haitian healing arts, runs the Island of Salvation Botanica, and holds public ceremonies for St. Joseph's Day and All Saints Day. She also performs a Hurricane Protection Ritual.

The art is the works of Sallie Ann Glassman, a New Orleans artist and practicing Voodoo Queen.
Mambo Sallie Ann has been practicing Voodoo in New Orleans since 1977.
She traveled to Haiti in 1995 to undergo the week-long "couche" initiation rituals; during these rituals, she was ordained as Ounsi, Kanzo and Mambo Asogwe, or a High Priestess of Vodou.
Mambo Sallie Ann is one of the few white Americans to have been ordained through the traditional Haitian initiation.
As an American woman of Jewish-Ukrainian heritage with a thorough knowledge of the Kabala and ritual magick, she brings a unique perspective to the traditional practices of vodou.
