Malvina Latour

Malvina Latour was an American Voodoo practitioner and disciple of Marie Laveau in New Orleans. She was said to have been born enslaved, having worked as a house slave until her emancipation.

Voodoo Latour was a disciple of Voodoo practitioner Marie Laveau. In Herbert Asbury's 1936 book The French Quarter, Asbury describes Latour and indicates she was about thirty years old when she was named as Laveau's successor. Asbury goes on to describe her time as head of Voodooism in New Orleans, and Latour's retirement around 1890.

Conflation with other individuals Carolyn Long's research indicates that Latour's identity was confused with "an earlier priestess known as Madame Lott", and that the two were "creatively combined" by Asbury in The French Quarter (1936). Tallant also includes Latour in his non-fiction account of voodooism in New Orleans.
