New Orleans Voodoo, one of America's greatest spiritual traditions, is a religion as complex, free, and beautiful as the jazz that permeates this hot city of sin and salvation. In the “Guide to New Orleans Voodoo,” dedicated priest Kenaz Filan explores the primary sources and historical data to unveil the truth behind many of the city's legends and to examine the often-discussed yet poorly understood practices of healers, Voodoo queens, and spiritual leaders of the city. The author explains how to appeal to Voodoo saints and spirits to obtain love, money, revenge, justice, and healing.
