More info on Voodoo:
Louisiana Voodoo, also known as New Orleans Voodoo, describes a set of spiritual folkways developed from the traditions of the African diaspora. It is a cultural form of the Afro-American religions developed by enslaved West and Central Africans populations of the U.S. state of Louisiana. Voodoo is one of many incarnations of African-based spiritual folkways rooted in West African Dahomeyan Vodun. Its liturgical language is Louisiana Creole French, the language of the Louisiana Creole people.
Voodoo became syncretized with the Catholic and Francophone culture of New Orleans as a result of the African cultural oppression in the region resulting from the Atlantic slave trade. Louisiana Voodoo is often confused with—but is not completely separable from—Haitian Vodoo and Deep Southern Hoodoo. It differs from Haitian Vodoo in its emphasis upon gris-gris, Voodoo queens, use of Hoodoo paraphernalia, and Li Grand Zombi. It was through Louisiana Voodoo that such terms as gris-gris (a Wolof term) and Voodoo dolls' were introduced into the American lexicon. -Wikipedia
NEW ORLEANS....VOODOO STILL EXIST!
NEW ORLEANS....VOODOO STILL EXIST!
NEW ORLEANS - is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the Big Easy, it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous costumed parades and street parties.
No city in North America can compete with New Orleans when it comes to culture, food, historic architecture, joie de vivre and tourism options.
The Crescent City has suffered plagues, wars, imperial regime changes and devastating floods. Yet, it always wakes up with a smile on its face. This may be because its inhabitants step to an easy beat first laid down three centuries ago. Moving at this relaxed pace, visitors are delighted by the French Creole elegance of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) or the opulence discovered in a streetcar ride through the Garden District and Uptown.
Anytime of year find live music, amazing Creole and Cajun cuisine, fresh seafood, farmers markets, shopping, nightlife and more. During Mardi Gras season, the city becomes the world’s center. Downtown transforms into an adult playground, while parades in residential areas provide children thrilling entertainment. Each spring, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival moves the focus to the charming Gentilly area and the Fair Grounds Race Course. But no matter the time of year, New Orleans' calendar overflows in celebration.
History
CAFE Du MONDE -The Original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand was established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. The Cafe is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It closes only on Christmas Day and on the day an occasional Hurricane passes too close to New Orleans.
. Its menu consists of dark roasted Coffee and Chicory, Beignets, White and Chocolate Milk, and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. The coffee is served Black or Au Lait. Au Lait means that it is mixed half and half with hot milk. Beignets are square French -style doughnuts, lavishly covered with powdered sugar. In 1988 Iced Coffee was introduced to the cafe. Soft drinks also made their debut that
BOURBON STREET - Noisy. Raucous. Nocturnal. For many New Orleans visitors, Bourbon Street embodies the life of a party town. The street is lit by neon lights, throbbing with music and decorated by beads and balconies. Named for a royal family in France and not the amber-colored alcohol, Bourbon Street has become a place for revelry of all sorts. With its windows and doors flung open to the wandering crowds, it should be no surprise that the famed sidewalk strolling libation known as the “go cup” was invented on Bourbon Street, according to Tulane University historian Richard Campanella. Many things change in New Orleans, but the color and excitement of Bourbon Street never falters.
ST LOUIS CATHEDRAL - The St. Louis Cathedral is one of New Orleans' most notable landmarks. Few cities in the world are so identified by a building as is New Orleans. The city is instantly recognized by our cathedral and its position overlooking Jackson Square.
This venerable building, its triple steeples towering above its historic neighbors, the Cabildo and the Presbytere - looks down benignly on the green of the Square and General Andrew Jackson on his bronze horse and on the block-long Pontalba Buildings with their lacy ironwork galleries. Truly, this is the heart of old New Orleans.
The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States.
As the caretakers of the Historic place of worship, we constantly battle the elements and the aging of the Cathedral with ongoing conservation and restoration. We invite you to become a Friend of the St. Louis Cathedral and help this national historic landmark remain the centerpiece in the great history of New Orleans!
VOODOO - Every year now, The Voodoo Experience, with its taglines “join the ritual,” and “worship the music,” pegs its calendar to Halloween. This has become a tradition in New Orleans, much like All Saints’ Day, when families head to the graveyards of the French Quarter and beyond to whitewash and sweep the tombs clean and decorate them with fresh flowers.

French Quarter and Cemetery Walking Tour
Sound quality is not great in the beginning and at other pockets. I'll highlight those times as well as interesting points of the tour below. An external mic with a sock would help, that's on the to-do list for futures videos :) VLog of the whole bachelor party is coming, I just need some time to pull it all together. The tour was so good, I wanted to make sure I made a chronological video that I could link to in the VLog in case someone wanted to watch it or skip through the highlights.
Starting Point: (noisy) French Market (2:51 onward is not nearly as noisy)

The Voodoo, New Orleans, the Art & me - a conversation with Denise Alvarado - Part I
Voodoo, as it is known in the United States, is a religion born of the blended spiritual traditions of multiple traumatized cultures.
Denise Alvarado studied art formally at the University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College in Iowa. However, her professional life ended up taking a different direction and she ended up with an Associates degree in Human Services, a bachelor's degree in cultural anthropology, and a Masters degree in Clinical psychology. She is currently a PhD candidate in Psychology Research and Evaluation at Walden University, and was awarded Walden University's Fellowship for Research and Application for Social Change for her research with Native Americans. She take every opportunity to study spirituality, religions, and mysticism. In spite of her extensive academic background and quest for sound science, She still believe in the healing arts, magick, spirituality, and yes, Voodoo.
As a New Orleans native and the daughter of two of the best artists in the world, she was exposed to a wide variety of art forms from the time she was old enough to be aware. Her father, Don Alvarado, was a formally trained and renowned medical illustrator (Gray's Anatomy) and her mother, Mae Moore, was largely a self taught painter of folk art, nature, and mystical imagery.
Growing up in the Deep South provided her with ample opportunity to experience mysticism in its many forms from an early age.
On this show of Witchtalk we are going to talk about her book, her magazine and her art as well as that so misunderstood tradition that is the Voodoo from New Orleans.

Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Conversation with Amy Wilentz
On February 10, 2014, Duke's Forum for Scholars and Publics will host a discussion with Amy Wilentz about her book, Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti. Farewell, Fred Voodoo is a powerful and personal meditation on the history of Haiti and the history of its representation, based on decades of writing and reporting about the country. Wilentz’s work as a journalist and writer on Haiti as well as in the Middle East and other regions raises broad issues about the relationship between media, culture, and politics in the contemporary world.
