Who is Sauvage De Sade?

(quoted from Aisha’s Instagram)

“She has a sense of permanence in the shadows of history.

From opium dens in Hong Kong, to the bordellos of New Orleans she has been sighted across continents and centuries.

First recorded as the property of a French slave ship in 1752 that mysteriously sank, Sauvage was found washed up on a beach by the Marquis de Sade. Being talented in black magic and scrying, she became his personal advisor on matters of the occult. It is rumored she alerted the authorities to his whereabouts when he was arrested for sexual depravity.

Sauvage disappeared with a considerable amount of wealth and was not heard of again until 1817. She was lover and advisor of Lord Bryon during his infamous time in Venice.

In 1895 Sauvage appeared in London, where she was the mistress of Florence Farr and performed the role of the temple high priests in Farrs Egyptian mythical play the "Beloved of Hathor".

An enigma, a shadow cast by a voodoo doll.
