From its first known appearances in New Orleans of 200 years ago, here are the fetishes and formulae, the rites and dances, the cures, charms and gris-gris. Here were the witch-doctors and queens, and in particular Doctor John, who acquired fame and fortune, and Marie Laveau, who with her daughter dominated the weird underworld of voodoo for nearly a century." Kirkus Reviews "Robert Tallant speaks with authority . . . ." New York Times "Much nonsense has been written about voodoo in New Orleans. . .here is a truthful and definitive picture." Lyle Saxton Both of Robert Tallant's highly praised books about the practice of voodoo in New Orleans have been re-issued in paperback. Originally published in 1946, Voodoo in New Orleans examines the origins of the cult voodooism. The lives of New Orleans's most infamous witch doctors and voodoo queens have been re-created in this well-researched account of New Orleans's dark underworld.Hide synopsis

FROM THE PUBLISHER-A SPELLBINDING ACCOUNT OF THE BIZARRE PRACTICES OF A STRANGE, AND LIVING, CULT-Marie Laveau was the Voodoo Queen who bewitched and bemused New Orleans with black magic and Voodoo rites, the likes of which had never seen witnessed before and have never been seen since. As no true story of Voodoo would be complete without a full account of the incredible Laveau, Robert Tallant combed the streets of New Orleans, gathering together fragments of her story and those of the other memorable Voodooiennes who were responsible for promoting and preserving the cult. The author traces the history of Voodoo from its origins with the snake worshipers of Africa through its heyday in nineteenth-century New Orleans to the flourishing practices of the present day. The truths and the legends, handed down from generation to generation, are all here—the sensual Voodoo dances, the gris-gris, the crosses of death, the black candles, and the love potions and lodestones. Mr. Tallant has overlooked nothing in weaving this spellbinding tale of the strange religion still practiced in the dark of the night in New Orleans—and elsewhere. Robert Tallant was born and raised in Louisiana and has written many articles and short stories based on the lore of the state. During his investigation of Voodooism, he witnessed, he believes, every type of contemporary Voodoo ceremony.
