Nola Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess Guide in New Orleans

1 hour and 45 minutes

Easy

Let a High Priestess of Louisiana Plantation Vodou/Voodoo take you around the site where African Traditional Religions were kept alive in the wake of enslavement.

The majority of the Voodoo tours in the city are offered by non-initiates or by those without the lineage to support their understanding and service to the religion.

This is the only Voodoo tour in New Orleans led by a High Priestess of Louisiana Plantation Vodou. Malika/Osheyo Amanzi can trace her bloodline back to the coast of Virginia and the Carolinas, home of the Gullah-Geechee who have their own West African-based religions.

Her initiations include being an Isefa (hand of Ifa), Olorisa (full devotee of Isese), and a High Priestess of Louisiana Plantation Vodou/Voodoo. Don’t know what all of that means? Let her take you for a walk and explore all the African Traditional Religions that came together to create Louisiana Plantation Voodoo/Vodou!

NOTE: An ASL interpreter is available upon request. Please include this accommodation in the notes section when you book your tour.
