Vou Dou

Before I start the Vou Dou story, I just wanted to let you know that my suitcase found me today.

Anyhow, MT, Mike, and I met up one evening while in New Orleans to take the VouDou Witchcraft Tour. Leaving aside our individual appreciations of the tour, the tour ended at Erzulie’s, an authentic voudou store.

That evening the store was manned by Baba Luis, one of the most colorful characters I’ve ever met. We paid our respects to the three shrines overlooking the store, and examined the goods for sale. I ended up with a doll representing “Erzulie-Freda”-one who likes Pink Champaign, French Perfumes, and other expensive gifts.

I’m not even sure where to buy pink Champaign in Weimar.

My doll has picked a poor home.
