About
Learn the real story of Voodoo, perhaps the most misunderstood religion in the world. We promise no human sacrifice on this Tour. In fact, we have created an historically accurate tour that moves beyond the Hollywood hype of Voodoo as something dark and sinister. Voodoo is one of the oldest religions in the world and as such, it deserves more respect than what it has been given in the media. This tour explores Voodoo's West African origins involving such ethnic groups as the Yoruba, Fon, Ewe, and Bantu. We will discuss the Orisa(spirits), Egun(ancestors), gris-gris bags, Voodoo dolls, possession and more. Come wander the narrow streets of the French Quarter to Marie Laveau's house and learn about the often misunderstood Voodoo Queen
After this tour you will have a deeper understanding of the Voodoo religion how important it is to New Orleans history and to New Orleanians still today.
