"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 - Marie Laveau the Voodoo Queen, the sensual Voodoo dances, the Gris-Gris, the crosses of death, the black candles, and the love potions and lodestones.
