Nola Voodoo-wandeltocht met gids voor hogepriesters in New Orleans
Beschrijving
De meerderheid van de Voodoo tours in de stad worden aangeboden door degenen die ofwel niet-ingewijden zijn, of degenen die niet de afstamming hebben om hun begrip en dienstbaarheid aan de religie te ondersteunen. Dit is de enige Voodoo / Vodou tour aangeboden in New Orleans die wordt geleid door een Hogepriesteres van Louisiana Plantage Vodou. Malika/Osheyo Amanzi heeft aanvullende inwijdingen als een Isefa en Olorisa. Haar bloedlijn gaat terug tot de kust van Virgina en de Carolina's, de thuisbasis van de Gullah-Geechee die hun eigen West-Afrikaanse religies hebben, evenals Nigeria en Kenia.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and dispelled many myths about voodoo. However, she was a bit ADHD and would jump between thoughts, and so I struggled to keep track of who was who and what they symbolized. Also, my friend on the trip is from Ghana and he disagreed with the tour guide's explanations. She made her explanation sound like the dominant form of spirituality on Africa, when in reality each region/tribe has its own beliefs (of which she was mainly speaking about a Nigerian spiritual system).
We hope you enjoyed your time in New Orleans. I’m glad you noted I made it clear that my information was Nigerian, as that’s where my initiations were held; Ghana, your husband’s homeland, is a completely different country, and as I stated in the tour, West Africans are not one monolithic people, and in any one West African country, there are easily upwards of 50-100+ different languages. I can only share what I know, and make it clear where I learned the information/what country those traditions were born, and I’m glad to hear it sounds like I did that. The tour is also about Louisiana Plantation Vodou/Voodoo, as that’s the tradition in which I am a priestess~ again, not Ghana. I don’t believe the tour was advertised as speaking of Ghanaian tradition as the focal point.
Our guide was wonderful and so very well educated on the history and culture of the area and Voodoo traditions.
Thank you so much! We hope you come back and take some of our other tours!
Malika was one of the best tour guides I have ever had! She has so much fascinating information and dispelled all of the negative connotations Voodoo has. She truly gave us a masterclass and I could have listened to her for hours more! The best!
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We hope you return soon, and take more tours with us. 🥰
10/10!! I did my research to find local tour guides as I’ve just moved back here and am leaning my own history more. I’ve even went back for more! I took the Black AF Ghost Tour with Rhodesia was SO amazing. She was honest, intelligent, vulnerable, funny, kind, knowledgeable- a natural tour guide with soul, love and a personal history to the city. I also took the Plantation Vodou Tour with Malika and had another amazing 10/10 day. They attract a wonderful tour group as well that were kind and fun to be with.
Aw, thank you so much, luv! Looking forward to connecting when you come back! 🥰
Very informative and engaging tour with Malika, I highly recommend!
Thank you so much! Come back soon! 🥰
This was an OUTSTANDING tour and VERY informative. Be advised, you will learn some very important history of NOLA, and some of that history is traumatic. Also, this is listed as a walking tour, but it is fairly light and restricted to a fairly small area within the park, and the guide provides times to sit on benches to listen to the stories and histories of the area.
Thank you for the warm review! We hope you come back soon and take another tour with us!
Super interesting tour! 100% would do it again.
Thank you so much! Come back soon! 🥰
We enjoyed the tour, which we found informative and well paced. Glad we took it. Would recommend to others.
Thank you so much! It was certainly my pleasure. Come back soon! 🥰
Great experience.... so much interesting history!!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the tour!
This tour with High Priestess Malika was fascinating! We learned so much about the history of Voodoo and how it is practiced today through Malika's beliefs and experiences. Highly recommended.
Aw, thank you so much! It was my pleasure to take you around and share a little of our traditions. We hope you come back and take more tours with us!
