“New Orleans could wreck your liver and poison your blood. It could destroy you financially. It could shun you or embrace you, teach you tricks of the heart you thought Tennessee Williams was just kidding about. And in August it could break your spirit.” HeartSpiritCitiesTeachBreakBloodEmbraceTricksPoisonNew OrleansWrecksAugustLiverTennesseeJust Kids Author:Julie Smith
“There's also the tradition of voodoo, the Haitian magic arts, in New Orleans. And because New Orleans is below sea level, when they bury people in New Orleans, it's mostly above ground. So you have this idea that the spirits are more accessible and can access you more easily because they're not even buried.” PeopleArtIdeasSpiritLevelsMagicSeaTraditionAccessBuriedNew OrleansVoodooHaitian Author:Sam Trammell
