New Orleans VooDoo Museum



A few weeks ago I spent some time in the New Orleans VooDoo Museum.
Voodoo became of interest to me as I discovered it roots deep in African religion.
So here I will present a number of visual images from the museum. The museum seems to have a number of active and functioning alters. I will show these as well.
I will not, however, attempt to explain or interpret any of this.
Voodoo does not have an orthodoxy, a single story, a single path, or a correct interpretation.
If anyone tells you they are telling what Voodoo exactly is, then they are wrong.
So, enjoy the images of the alters, lessor entities, and saints of the belief.



Remember to see the details in these pictures click on them.
They were all taken in very low light, so clarity may be difficult.
