 Witch queens\, voodoo spirits & hoodoo saints: a guide to magical New 
 Orleans by Denise Alvarado\n"A magical mystery tour of the extraordinary 
 historical characters that have defined the unique spiritual landscape of 
 New Orleans. New Orleans has long been America's most magical city\, 
 inhabited by a fascinating visible and invisible world\, full of 
 mysteries\, known for its decadence and haunted by its spirits. If Salem\, 
 Massachusetts\, is famous for its persecution of witches\, New Orleans is 
 celebrated for its embrace of the magical\, mystical\, and paranormal. New 
 Orleans is acclaimed for its witches\, ghosts\, and vampires. Because of 
 its unique history\, New Orleans is the historical stronghold of 
 traditional African religions and spirituality in the US. No other city 
 worldwide is as associated with Vodou as New Orleans. In her new book\, 
 author and scholar Denise Alvarado takes us on a magical tour of New 
 Orleans. There is a mysterious spiritual underbelly hiding in plain sight 
 in New Orleans\, and in this book Alvarado shows us where it is and who the 
 characters are. She tells where they come from and how they persist and 
 manifest today. Witch Queens\, Voodoo Spirits\, and Hoodoo Saints shines a 
 light on notable spirits and folk saints such as Papa Legba\, Annie 
 Christmas\, Black Hawk\, African-American culture hero Jean St. Malo\, St. 
 Expedite\, plague saint Roch\, and\, of course\, the mother and father of 
 New Orleans Voudou\, Marie Laveau and Doctor John Montenée. Witch 
 Queens\, Voodoo Spirits\, and Hoodoo Saints serves as a secret history of 
 New Orleans\, revealing details even locals may not know." -- Provided by
