Nola Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess Guide in New Orleans
Nola Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess Guide in New Orleans
The majority of the Voodoo tours in the city are offered by those who are either non-initiates, or those who do not have the lineage to support their understanding and service to the religion. This is the only Voodoo tour offered in New Orleans that is lead by High Priestesses of Louisiana Plantation Vodou. Eshé/Mary J.
can trace her lineage to Louisiana as far back as the late 1700's, and Malika/Osheyo Amanzi can trace her bloodline back to the coast of Virgina and the Carolinas, home of the Gullah-Geechee who have their own West African-based religions.
