More info on Voodoo:
Louisiana Voodoo, also known as New Orleans Voodoo, describes a set of spiritual folkways developed from the traditions of the African diaspora. It is a cultural form of the Afro-American religions developed by enslaved West and Central Africans populations of the U.S. state of Louisiana. Voodoo is one of many incarnations of African-based spiritual folkways rooted in West African Dahomeyan Vodun. Its liturgical language is Louisiana Creole French, the language of the Louisiana Creole people.
Voodoo became syncretized with the Catholic and Francophone culture of New Orleans as a result of the African cultural oppression in the region resulting from the Atlantic slave trade. Louisiana Voodoo is often confused with—but is not completely separable from—Haitian Vodoo and Deep Southern Hoodoo. It differs from Haitian Vodoo in its emphasis upon gris-gris, Voodoo queens, use of Hoodoo paraphernalia, and Li Grand Zombi. It was through Louisiana Voodoo that such terms as gris-gris (a Wolof term) and Voodoo dolls' were introduced into the American lexicon. -Wikipedia
New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum
Here is a glimpse inside the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum. The first record of voodoo in Louisiana came in 1719 with the arrival of the first slaves directly from West Africa.
Definitely worth a visit to view these historic voodoo artifacts. Visit them at 724 Dumaine St, New Orleans, LA in the historic French Quarter.

Meet Brooklyn's Voodou Queen: Edeline St. Armand
Watch more on VICE here:
Being possessed, it turns out, is exhausting work. Just ask Mambo Edeline St. Armand. While popular culture portrays Vodou as full of curses and sticking pins into little dolls, the religion has in fact played a central role in Haitian cultural identity since the country's birth, a result of the New World's first and only successful slave rebellion. Since Brooklyn is home to the largest Haitian population outside of Haiti, we sent Thomas Morton into our own backyard to witness the realities of being possessed by Vodou's multitude of rowdy, rum-thirsty spirits.

Walk along Bourbon Street, French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orlean's French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans, established in the early 1700s after New Orleans was founded. Many of its buildings date back to the 1700s and early 1800s, helping visitors appreciate the neighborhood's colonial origins.
Once primarily a residential street, Bourbon Street increasingly took an an (almost) all things go/revelry center in the 20th century. As its role as the city's top tourist draw continued to grow, the city embraced it, turning Bourbon Street into a pedestrian mall.
Although in my opinion it's gone a bit too far in catering to tourists at the expense of traditional Louisiana culture, the French Quarter and Bourbou Street provide a fun and unique experience that is unique among American travel destinations.
And there remains enough authentic Louisiana culture for visitors to focus on during their visits.
The Photos (in order)
L06A0688 - Welcome to Bourbon Street!
L06A0696 - Shops along Bourbon Street
N01A0012 - Along Bourbon Street you'll find plenty of food, alcohol, souvenirs, live music and other... temptations
L06A0705 - One of a number of bar/live music venues along Bourbon Street
L06A0730 - Creole cottages and creole townhouses represent a style of architecture common in the French Quarter, but relatively rare in the rest of the country
L06A0700 - Mmmm, Po Boys; although I'm especially partial to their muffuleta
L06A0738 - Maison Bourbon, dedicated to the preservation of jazz; the first couple times I visited the French Quarter, it was common to hear jazz, Cajun and zydeco music in the French Quarter's live music venues; on more recent visits it seemed that rock had taken over; you can hear bar rock anywhere; when you're in New Orleans, take in the classic New Orleans sounds
L06A0747 - The Marie Laveau House of Voodoo isn't just some voodoo-themed souvenir shop, although you will find souvenirs here; it is also museum and spiritual advice center, a place to learn about voodoo and its history in New Orleans
