About this tour
Before Marie Laveau became the legendary Voodoo Queen, African spiritual traditions had already crossed the Atlantic, carrying stories of powerful female divinities whose influence survives today. GODDESS takes you beyond the familiar tales of New Orleans Voodoo to discover Yemaya, Oshun and Oya of Yoruba-derived traditions, alongside Ezili Freda and Ezili Dantò of Haitian Vodou. As you explore the French Quarter, you'll hear sacred narratives of love, motherhood, storms, prosperity, protection and resistance while discovering how African religious knowledge survived enslavement, migration and persecution. Along the way, meet remarkable New Orleans women whose lives offer fascinating parallels to these divine figures. Discover the historical Marie Laveau, the differences between African diasporic traditions, and the truth behind centuries of sensationalized Voodoo legends. No rituals or performances, just extraordinary history and storytelling.
