Julia Jackson

Julia Jackson was a Louisiana Voodoo practitioner from New Orleans.

Alongside Lala, she was an important voodoo queen of the 1940s. She sold gris-gris, charms, and potions. She made her own amulets, talismans, and ingredients. Materials she used in her concoctions included nails, earthworms, coffee grounds, chicken feathers, red pepper, and beef tongue. The instructions for her "To Kill Someone: Formula I" were to kill a rattlesnake and hang it out to dry in the sun. Then the person's name was written on a piece of paper and placed in the snake's mouth.

By 1946, Jackson had purchased half of the property on her block. She also owned a car and traveled extensively in the country.

Literary figure Ishmael Reed recognized Jackson as a theoretician of Neo-Hoodoo for her role in stripping Voodoo of its Catholic influences. Occultist Black Herman notes that Hoodoo practitioners in North America had to create and refashion loas, citing Jackson's theories as an example.
