Description
The New Orleans Voodoo Handbook by Kenaz Filan is a comprehensive guide to the practices, tools, and rituals of this unique spiritual tradition. Drawing from African Congo roots and influenced by Catholicism, Italian, French, and Irish immigrants, New Orleans Voodoo is a complex and beautiful system of worship that permeates the city's culture. This book explores the major figures of New Orleans Voodoo, including Marie Laveau and Dr. John, as well as the cultural influences that have shaped its practices over time. Filan examines firsthand documents and historical records to uncover the truth behind many of the city's legends and to explore the often-discussed but little-understood practices of the root doctors, Voodoo queens, and spiritual figures of the Crescent City. With detailed instructions for magical oils, candle workings, gris-gris bags, and Voodoo dolls, this handbook provides a unique insight into the world of New Orleans Voodoo.
