    • "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 is famous for its persecution of witches, New Orleans is celebrated for its embrace of the magical, mystical, and paranormal. New Orleans is the historical stronghold of traditional African religions, spirituality, and voudou in the US. There is a mysterious spiritual underbelly hiding in plain sight in New Orleans, and this book shows us where it is, who the characters are, where they come from, and how they persist and manifest today"--
