Synopsis

Are you fascinated by the subject of Voodoo?
Did you know that it’s much more than it is portrayed in the media?
Would you like to learn more about it?
Voodoo holds a place in our psyche like few other religions or beliefs and is something that has been misunderstood by people through many generations. Far more than sticking pins in dolls, as is often depicted in films and books, Louisiana Voodoo has a rich history that is as exciting as it is complex.
In this book, Voodoo of Louisiana, we explore the history of this practice in detail, through chapters that concentrate on things like:
• What Voodoo Is
• Myths and Facts
• Mardi Gras, Music and Food
• Voodoo Temples
• The Voodoo Queens and Kings
• Voodoo Practices
• Foretelling the Future
And Much More…
Delving into the very spirit of voodoo and touching on other aspects such as racism and predicting the future, Voodoo of Louisiana is a book that was written to open your eyes and show you something you never knew existed.

Really good book! First of all, how beautiful is the cover of this book! This book is very interesting. I really enjoyed the sections on herbs, oils and the color meanings of bags. The glossary at the end of the book was also very helpful. Thank you, Monique Joined Siedlak!......more
