 New Orleans Witchcraft |
739 Bourbon Street New Orleans, LA 70116 United States +1 504 581 3751 |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. In the heart of the French Quarter, this voodoo shop doubles as a shrine to the famous Voodoo Queen -- Marie Laveau -- of New Orleans. Psychic readings, voodoo dolls, statues and altars are the real thing, not found in other touristy spots. Whether you come to the Big Easy for business or pleasure, you can find an original souvenir and even learn a little something of the black arts from around the world at Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo.

Patron of plague victims |
1725 St. Roche Avenue New Orleans, LA 70130 United States |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. During an epidemic in 1867, a local priest prayed to St. Roch, the patron saint of plague victims. When everyone survived, a Gothic result was in order. There is a small room just off the altar where you may leave gifts (medical supplies or other symbols of healing). There is a collection of these items (sometimes bizarre) for public viewing. The chapel is not always open so you should call before going. Review © 2007, Wcities |
