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.

Tour was thorough, the guide was very knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor and had fantastic glasses. She was extremely even-handed regarding all religions & open to any questions we had. We so appreciated this learning experience.

Absolutely enjoyed this experience. I learned so much and realized how Hollywood has completely misrepresented Vodue. Loved the history behind this and realizing the current existence.

This was the best walking tour I ever did. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of her way to make the information relatable so everyone in the group could understand fully. I walked away with so much new information.
