Description and Basic Information ::
|
 This collection of voodoo history and memorabilia has gone from location, to location, to location within the last few years almost as if the late Queen of Voodoo herself, Marie Laveau, couldn’t rest. Currently located on Dumaine Street, this building houses a portrait of Marie Laveau as well as a gift shop, literature and area for spiritual readings.
Voodoo came to Louisiana from Santo Domingo during the slave uprising of 1790. Voodoo is a combination of religion, myth, practice and superstition. The superstitious of all races sought the charms (gris-gris) to solve problems of all types, from romance to illnesses. |
