Nola Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess Guide in New Orleans

Overview

The majority of the Voodoo tours in the city are offered by those who are either non-initiates, or those who do not have the lineage to support their understanding and service to the religion.
This is the only Voodoo/Vodou tour offered in New Orleans that is lead by a High Priestess of Louisiana Plantation Vodou. Malika/Osheyo Amanzi has additional initiations as an Isefa and Olorisa. Her bloodline can be traced back to the coast of Virgina and the Carolinas, home of the Gullah-Geechee who have their own West African-based religions, as well as Nigeria and Kenya.

I was hoping that this tour would be good. I have taken ghost tours and haunted this or thats over the years. In the late 1990’s I even took a Voodoo Tour on my first visit to NOLA. So, I envisioned some stories and claims of supernatural whatever… I was way off! This was hands down the best tour I have taken. Malika‘s passion for imparting knowledge and dispelling misinformation surrounding Vodou was amazing. Time flew by, and honestly, we all wished we could have spent all day with her. I was nervous about how some of our group might react to the subject matter, but the focus on educating us and her ability to make everyone feel welcome quelled that quickly. I will recommend everyone I know to her tour, and will try to repeat the tour myself the next time I am in town! And the “walking” part of the tour was limited to about a fifty yard area, so if you have some mobility concerns with anyone in the group, there is no need to worry!
