New Orleans Voodoo Handbook By Kenaz Filan

The New Orleans Voodoo Handbook introduces Kenaz Filan’s account of a distinctive Louisiana religious tradition. Historical material and discussions of figures such as Marie Laveau and Dr. John sit alongside explorations of its diverse cultural influences.

The book also describes ritual tools, oils, candles, gris-gris and divination. It treats these within a living spiritual tradition, not as guaranteed ways to obtain money, healing, love or control over another person.
