When those who write of La Voisin, they pass over the step daughter, that is other than going over the declarations she made the day after they burned her mommy dearest alive at the stake. She described the horrors that went on right under Louis XIV's nose, that sent their perverted little lives reeling. Some think that she was telling on her La Voisin, but like her step mother, who ripped the veil on the bourgeoisie asunder, before they killed her, Marie was taking the masks off of the freaks of high society and the church, showing the world what they were for real, the same freaks that paid Catherine Deshayes to do abhorrent things for them...The same freaks that destroyed her to cover their sins.
Some of the stories go, that Marie-Marguerite Monvoisin was Catherine DeShayes daughter, through her marriage to Antoine Monvoisin. This is not true. Antoine had been married before and had two beautiful daughters, Marie-Marguerite and Marie-Madeleine. Madeleine had married and moved out just as Catherine moved in with her brood from a previous marriage. Marguerite the younger witnessed the horrors of monster her father married. She moved in on him like a buzzard on carrion, when her mother had died. Some say she either poisoned her directly or had her poisoned.

Why? There are some powers that with degraded behaviors, as La Voisin took relish in acting out on, that one loses. She despite all her blood letting had not learned that for every innocent life she took, she lost more and more of her powers. Eventually become a fat disgusting parody of herself soaking in the blood of the babies lives she took.
But again...Why kill Antoine's wife? She was a witch with a power piece that she lusted after. She perceived the only way to get it was to get rid of her and marry him and she thought the way to the item would be free and clear. But not so. Marguerite's mother requested on her death bed that when Marguerite turned 13 that he give it too her and told her never to take it off...That it would protect her. And so he did, much to the consternation of Catherine...So she set off to poison him also....REPEATEDLY. But the family knew what she was doing and always gave him the antidote.
I always wondered if these two reincarnated. Who would they be?
There would be some major criteria to meet.
Catherine would be the one in the limelight...Very much the celebrity. She would gather cronies, like a dog gathers fleas, much like herself, yet inferior, power wise and morality wise, around her......Just like before. They have no interest in her other than what they can get from her.....She would take on the powers of 666.... in every lifetime. She would be deadly afraid of Fire, since she was burned at the stake.
Marie on the other hand would be fearless. After the trials were over, she was shipped off to an island off the coast of Brittany, Belle-Ile-en-Mer, on the Bay of Biscayne. This surprised her since Louis had promised her freedom. The truth was that he needed to know if she knew his secrets too, since she knew everything else, so she was sent off with 3 of her Mother's coven sisters, La Pellettier, La Poulain and La Delaporte. They died in prison...........Marie-Marguerite had been rescued from the situation by her older sister. And lived and loved a full rich life with 2 husbands and 7 kids. But because La Voisin coveted what was not hers and killed her family, she would have the powers of 666 as well. When someone does evil to an innocent, that person will gain that power too.

If the two women came together and knew of their past.....Could they get along and make peace finally? Or would the same avarice that drove La Voisin to her death consume her in every lifetime. And the Shadow Queen would forever hide in the shadows of others.
