A woman known to authorities performed at a Laveau venue Wednesday evening. She delivered a screamed rendition of 'Holy Water' by Saints of the Soil. The lyrics referenced baptism in blood and forced ascension.

The Ledger has learned that Sheriff's Office analysts have flagged a pattern of coded public gatherings at Laveau venues in recent weeks, coinciding with a surge in ritualistic activity near the waterfront. The lyrics performed Wednesday bear a striking resemblance to language recovered from materials tied to the ongoing Blood Debt inquiry.

A department spokesperson said: 'Port Laveau's stages are not pulpits for dark invitations. Those who perform for the wrong audience will find the applause stops suddenly.' Residents are advised to report unusual gatherings to the Sheriff's Office.
