New Orleans Voodoo (A Virtual Tour)

Shrouded in mystery and secrecy – and often misrepresented by popular culture and Hollywood depictions – Voodoo has long held reign in New Orleans legends, folklore, and history.

The spirituality has been hidden among the slaves of the 1700s, popularized, and commercialized by the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau in the nineteenth century. And still functions as an alternative religion in the modern-day city.

But how do you separate the facts from so much fiction, rumors, and superstitions?

Andrew is joined by Robi on a Virtual New Orleans Voodoo Tour. Robi leads Free Tours by Foot's Voodoo tour, which you can take on your next trip to NOLA: https://freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours/walking-tours/voodoo-tour/
