Marie Laveau's House Of Voodoo

This guide to Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo on Bourbon Street in New Orleans starts with the shop's own house rule: no photos, in case the camera traps a spirit inside. From there it follows the daily line of tourists queuing for tarot spreads, aura readings and palm readings from a rotating cast of psychics working the back room. It also digs into the shop's claim that this ground once belonged to Marie Laveau the second, daughter of the city's famous Voodoo Queen, and what historians actually say about it. Come early if you want a reading, the good ones book up fast.
