Voodoo altar, New Orleans

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Located on Dumaine Street in the French Quarter, this is a Voodoo altar, not a Christian one.

Voodoo spirits can be represented by any object, and in a staunchly Catholic city, such as New Orleans, it was convenient for Voodoo practitioners to use Catholic statues and so hide that they were in fact practicing Voodoo. The post at the back of the altar is a telltale sign however, as it acts as a conduit for Voodoo spirits.

In reality, Voodoo practitioners, saw no contradiction in being also Catholic. The famous Voodoo queen of New Orleans, Marie Laveau, admitted to be both.
