The shop immediately caught our attention - it is beautifully arranged, very aesthetic, and feels like a small gallery full of natural treasures. The selection of stones, minerals, and jewelry is stunning, especially the large amethyst geodes and softly lit pieces that create a truly calming atmosphere. We were also very pleasantly surprised by the staff. The lady who assisted us was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We felt very comfortable and at ease there. We left with several beautiful items - jewelry, stones, decorative pieces, and other unique finds that will always remind us of this special visit. If you find yourself in New Orleans, I highly recommend stopping by. It's a place with a truly special atmosphere where everyone can find something meaningful.

Their gris gris bags and spell oils REALLY WORK! I had to call the store and thank them personally…read morebecause not even two days later after I carried my lust gris gris bag annointed with the lust oil, my avoidant crush asked me out to lunch and paid for it (very unlike him). I've been noticing I turn way more heads as I carry the gris gris around in my purse. If you're a woman- various books say keep it in your bra or on your left side. If you're a man- right side. I put my my crush's name on a petition in red ink with a Song of Solomon verse underneath annointed with the oil, carried the bag around, and BAM! I've seen other reviews say their stuff is overpriced or they're not Voodoo or Hoodoo centered (which they're not) but it doesn't mean it doesn't work! I think their prices are pretty fair and their packaging is really nice. The lady at the store (might've been Christina) was really helpful and reassuring with helping me pick out my products. She said they work and she was right! Thank you SO much! I will order online or in person when I visit NOLA again :)

I've never been in this kind of store before and I've never had my fortune told, or had a reading before, but it was a very unique experience!

This place is so magical that just the online shop convinced me to come to New Orleans in person. A…read moreyear ago, the only voodoo online shop I trusted that I could find was Voodoo Authentica. I was so drawn to "Exu the Trickster doll" that I put it on my Christmas Wishlist, but nobody got him for me. Flash forward to end of September 2026, I went to visit NOLA with my best friend for my birthday. There was one place that was a must-see: Voodoo Authentica. I came unsure if I still believed in magic and left a believer. The tradition and magic is so alive in the people and objects in the store. I ended up getting my Exu doll and set up an altar for him when I got home. The store has an aura unlike any other Voodoo store in the French quarter. I got a reading from Raven which was such a beautiful experience, she made me a custom anointing oil. Papa Zaar read my palm as I was shopping and made a super accurate comment. I got great guidance on how to use the oils. I had a spiritual guidance phone session with Papa Zaar which was super helpful when cultivating my practice. An hour after I got off the phone with him a spell that I tried worked! The readings are really worth the money, value, and affordable. I can't wait to visit again- my #1 pick for all things Voodoo (the real deal)!

When we walked in there was a film crew, recording a video. The woman at the front desk immediately snapped and said "we are filming!!!" First of all...if you need it to be quite close early or put a sign on the door stating you're filming. Boom. But then to be rude on top of it?! Yikes. I was actually planning on spending a lot here but given the treatment I was totally turned off by the behavior. Weirdly enough a beige family came in and didn't have the same verbal hostility that our group did. This business should do better.

Seeing Vanessa is a very unique experience. She was able to book me in after I explained I was…read moreleaving the next day. She was very flexible with time and very personable and relaxed with her reading. She did some cleansing and starts off the session with a very relaxing lavender oil and meditation. The meditation got me very relaxed. I am a fortune telling enthusiast with interest in tarot cards and astrology and the like. Although I didn't understand the cleansing part very well, the tarot card telling gave me a couple of surprising tellings by Vanessa. I definitely think its an experience worth having in New Orleans and Vanessa feels like a very comfortable and genuine fortune teller. I'm not sure how pricing is as I didn't get quoted by anyone else - appointment or any of the fortune tellers near Jackson Square, but it was a pleasant experience.

I went to see Vanessa on a lark when I was on a business trip to NOLA. I have had a pretty heavy…read morecouple of years with a lot of unrelated trauma and tragedy, and my big question was: will this run of bad luck start to shift? Vanessa was warm, wise, funny and competent. She packed SO much into our hour+ together: she "cleaned and cleared" me, identified a negative energy that was in my home far away in California and dealt with it appropriately, gave me practical suggestions for supports for my family to help them with their struggles, and gave me a really robust tarot reading. So much of what she said was spot-on. While I am a spiritual practitioner myself (I am an ordained Protestant minister), I have a healthy skepticism of anyone claiming to have supernatural powers. But I entirely trusted and believed Vanessa. I left her place much lighter than I entered, and the benefits have lasted for days. Apart from any true magical properties from our encounters, there have already been untold empirical results: I have been sleeping better, dreaming more lucidly, and in waking hours feel more grounded, joyful, connected to my purpose, and less anxious about the future. Additionally, Vanessa is just a delight to be with. She has an infectious laugh, and delivers deep and occasionally hard truths with such tenderness and conviction that they are easy to receive. I'm looking forward to going back to see her next time I am in NOLA!

I'm rather "in…read moretune" myself (I use tarot cards and astrology for guidance in my own life), and love it when I get a reading from a truly gifted individual. This was the case with RC Crow. I knew I had made the right choice even when I spoke to Dawna on the phone to book an appointment, and all it took was the first card and statement from RC for me to know I was in for a profound session. I am still processing our conversation. RC has a way of getting to the heart of the matter, and this reading was eye-opening in ways I never thought a reading could be. He is warm and vibrant, and definitely gifted. When I return to NOLA, I will certainly book another reading.

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge skeptic. I've seen and read a few articles and…read moredocumentaries about how people in this industry use cues like body language and pieces of conversations to make generalizations about someone and seemingly be able to predict or tell them about what's going on in their present / future. Given all that I've read and seen, I was totally blown away by Evaine and her reading. I sat at the bar with my girlfriend for about ten minutes before we decided to each get our own readings. After picking my Tarot cards Evaine told me what she saw. She was 100% accurate in what was going on in my present and what I had been mulling over for my future. I got goosebumps with each sentence that came out of her mouth. I had not spoken to this lady about any of what she said, not in conversation and certainly not in body language. Here she was....reading it aloud to me. She was so specific and on point. The details she provided could not have been some sort of "trick". After my reading I felt assured that my plans for the future would be well worth the risk involved. On top of giving a highly accurate reading, Evaine was very pleasant and friendly. I would highly recommend that you get a reading from her, especially if you are a skeptic. Be prepared for an eye opening experience.

To be clear, I don't care about the money, but I value the good energy I receive in NOLA. The oysters and the other item I got were mediocre. But then when I left, I saw a sign outside saying a dozen oysters were on special during the Happy Hour period I was there in for $12. So they looked me in the eye and decided to rob me (not of money, of human decency) instead of letting me know about the special. Stay away from this crappy place, there are countless cool people and joints in this wonderful town.
