Investigating claims of visits from otherworldly creatures, aliens living among us, abductions of humans to alien spacecraft, and accounts of interstellar cooperation since the UFO crash in Roswell, this disscussion of the theories and mysteries surrounding aliens is packed with thought-provoking stories and shocking revelations of alien involvement in the lives of Earthling

Author's Note on Vernacular and Colloquialisms Used In Articles On This Site
It may be noted by some that many of my "Haunting Tales of Old New Orleans" contain comments, words, and discourse that today might be considered "politically incorrect" in the mind of the average informed reader. The inclusion of these examples of local vernacular and colloquialisms in the stories and legends presented here is a conscious effort on the part of the author to reproduce, to the greatest extent possible, the atmosphere and mindset of the time in which many of the folktales originated. It is not meant to offend or provoke, but rather to preserve the realities and daily nuances of an era in New Orleans and Louisiana - the "Creole Epoch" - that, though familiar to older generations, is fast fading from the character of New Orleans. It is my sincere hope that you read and enjoy these tales in the context and spirit in which they are intended. Thank you.

Hoodoo & Conjure Quarterly™ is a thoroughly researched periodical that explores historical and contemporary information about the conjure arts, including magico-religious practices, spiritual traditions, folk magic, hoodoo, indigenous herbology, and religions with their roots in the African Diaspora.
In its purest form, hoodoo taps into the primordial belief that every living thing has Spirit. Every rock, tree, root, and stone is connected to a single Divine energy and as such, is Divine energy. The practitioner understands that it is the root that connects and grounds the universal life force; thus, the ultimate power lies within the root.
When enslaved Africans came to New Orleans directly from Africa, the arrived with intact, encyclopedic knowledge of the use of herbs, roots, bones, natural elements and their spiritual qualities. According to Dahomean cosmology, the knowledge of how to utilize the sacred herbs, roots, bones, and other natural elements for controlling and changing one’s destiny was given to them from Legba, who received the knowledge from the Forest Spirits.
Evidence for the survival of the sacred knowledge of plants and roots (hoodoo) and their relationship to the Spirits of Vodou (Voodoo) can be found all along the coast of Africa. For example, power objects such as medicine bags containing medicine (bilongo) and soul (mooyo) created by specialists for reasons such as health, protection, and fertility are found among the Bamana of Western Sudan. In addition, the bocio of Benin and Togo are for all intents and purposes assemblages of a variety of “curios” used to house particular Vodou Spirits for specific functions, and are activated by a trained priest, akin to the rootworker in hoodoo. The Nkisi of Congo origin are charms or talismans created out of natural elements and are similarly activated by a specialist and powered by nature to perform particular functions such as healing or protection. It is not uncommon to find these objects with personal items of their possessor attached to them, a sympathetic link from the person to the magical and spiritual realms.
As a result of slavery, tribes and families were separated, religious expression was forbidden and the traditional transmission of the sacred knowledge of the African religion of Vodou was all but stopped. Tragically, the trauma associated with slavery forced a separation of the magic and religious aspects of Vodou. The natural response to this psychic wounding was to adopt and assimilate similar beliefs and practices of the indigenous peoples of North America and Europeans to fill in the blanks, as it were, forming what we call hoodoo today.
