This shop was very interesting and informative. We stayed for close to an hour just ot look at everything and read descriptions since we aren't knowledgeable about Voodoo. While the shop was less busy, the women working there were very open to answering questions and giving further details on items in the shop and Voodoo. We were lucky when we arrived that there were only 3 other customers inside, but 15 minutes in there were about 30 of us walking through the store so it can get a bit snug. read more

Voodoo Authentica - The 7 African Power Dolls that also had shrines around the store that you can leave offerings for. - Art Galleries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This shop is recommended by NOLA famous High Priest Robi Gilmore as authentic. They have tons of herbs and ingredients to practice vodou (which is the actual way to spell and say it if you're talking Haitian Creole, like voh-doo). They have alters and figurines. Candles and protective charms. There are educational explanations pinned up around the shop for many of the items on display so you can learn about the practice while perusing. They also have voodoo dolls, which Robi has mentioned are NOT an authentic part of the religion. While the shop has a lot of interesting inventory, it was super crowded in here and very touristy, so you really couldn't enjoy the wares or talk to the employees (who I'm told are knowledgeable and interesting, but alas I'll never know for myself). That's the main reason for four stars instead of five. read more

There are plenty of shops in New Orleans with "voodoo" in the title. Some are very kitschy and touristy and some appear to be more legitimate. We popped into several on our trip and this store seemed closer to the latter. They had more herbs, ingredients and accoutrements than other stores. One patron was there for her session with a priestess (although I don't know what that entails or whether it was "authentic" or not. We didn't purchase anything but did peruse many items out of curiosity. I'll leave it to the natives to judge the legitimacy of this place. read more

As one of the only authentic voodoo shops in the city, this shop is a must-see. (I went on a New Orleans voodoo tour with high voodoo priest Robi who confirmed this was the only authentic voodoo shop.) This place has everything you could ask for-- chicken feet to other protective charms. The employee was friendly and helpful. The inside vibe is immaculate. You must visit this place during your next New Orleans visit! read more

I can't speak to the authenticity but as a tourist -- I had a lot of fun in the store -- exploring the different potions, reading the explanations and some of the history- overheard the person speaking about the misconceptions of voo doo and its origins Got myself some things and gifts for my really evangelical Christian' friends I'm not sure how they will react to a mini voo doo doll or potions they'll be scared for sure I can't wait to bring my girl here read more

Fantastic place to get all of your superstitious gear for all the good lucking vibes, bad juju clearing, cursing enemies and the like! Store is small and jammed packed with a huge variety of goodies that you are bound to come out with some sort of treasure to take home with you to remember and reminisce about your NOLA visit! Staff is really friendly and engaging and the prices are fair too! A must go see spot when in downtown NOLA! read more

It was typical overcrowded tourist spot. Some guy giving a dissertation to one guest that clogged the flow of traffic thru the tiny shop. There was an area that had tons of ingredients, if you needed them. So If you had something specific they probably had it. Was not a good use of my time, but could be valuable to others. read more

We stopped by while wandering the neighborhood and were welcomed in. One of the employees was helping another patron locate items on a shopping list sent by his wife, and I was very impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful she was. We came back later to shop and another employee was kind enough to gift my boys with mini dragons as a holiday present. We also had a reading, which was insightful, respectful and an overall amazing experience. read more

A very interesting place to visit while in New Orleans. The staff is very polite and knowledgeable and promote positivity. There's a wide selection of items. The value is reasonable especially due to it's authenticity read more

Great hidden gem with knowledgeable staff! Authentic shop with house made oils, statues, books, and lots of other goodies. Paid $45 for a 25min reading and I left with suggested rituals. I felt it was great value. Everyone was so lovely and I felt right at home! Definitely check it out. read more

This was a cool store!! Our walking tour guide told us about it and how they are the real deal and sell interesting stuff like a love potion perfume, so we decided to visit the next day! It was super cool to visit! They have signs you can read about what each item is and I think altars for other things that people leave stuff for! I also saw the store on YouTube and TikTok and it was worth a visit! They have a lot of stuff their to choose from and I think they also do readings. The two lady's working were super nice too. It feels like the real deal there too!! We went to a different voodoo store after and the energy felt super different than this one. I'd recommend this store to those that are interested!!! read more

My friend and I were interested in getting a tarot card reading while visiting New Orleans. This shop was recommended to us by our Voodoo/Ghost tour guide. The shop sells a lot of different items/trinkets with something to appeal to everyone. Unfortunately, my friend and I were tight on time due to a nearby dinner reservation. The shop graciously accommodated us by having two staff members read us individually, at the same time. This was my first ever tarot reading. I've been to a few psychic mediums before but was always intrigued with the practice of tarot. Raven delivered beyond my expectations. She was spot on with everything. She possesses psychic/medium abilities too which came into play during our reading. She both made me laugh and gave me the chills several times. I loved her straight forward delivery. She is very talented. I would absolutely go back to her when I visit the area again. Highly recommend this shop and Raven. My friend also really enjoyed her reading and felt that he hit the nail on the head. $45 for 30 minutes. It's worth it! read more

Had a reading with only a few minutes wait. Zar (sp.?) was amazing. Had a great presentation and felt very seen by him. All of the stuff in their shop is legit and someone was making charms and chanting in there. read more

Love a good voodoo shop and this place has it all. Great service great products and selection, fabulous vibe inside. Also affordable which is always nice for adding to your witchy collection. read more

I was a little disappointed that I had to wait. It was a 30 minute reading and it was halfway thru when it was my turn. I figured they would make up the lost 15 minutes. The reading was good but we were rushed (15 minutes later they said next person was waiting) that I feel like she wanted to tell me more but we were cut short. I really wish I had the full 30 minutes because I really wanted to hear all she wanted to tell me and I had paid for a 30 minute reading. I would give more stars for Raven but they are booked too closely and I only got half the time. read more

Everything about this place was magical. I didn't get a reading but was helped by the most gentle, kind person ever. I didn't get her name, but I assume she was the owner. They had an amazing selection- wide variety of items. But for me, it was the energy of the space that spoke loudest. I was so cozy and comfortable here immediately, and felt so at home. I'm not a beginner at all, but I could see this space being a good place for many young spiritualists looking for something to elevate their practice. I was met with the kind of support you'd find from a friend, and that meant the absolute world to me. I will definitely be back to visit next time I'm in NOLA read more

Voodoo Authentica - Thank you so much ‍ - Art Galleries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Horrible. Total BS. Noisy, chaotic. I couldn't listen or concentrate on my reading; that was BS anyway, because of all the noise from customers checking out, another reading taking place 3 feet away. No depth to the reading, totally general, and he tried to end the reading 10 mins before my 30 mins ended. Do not recommend, a waste of time and money. read more

Great shop! There was so much in there! This is a great shop if you are looking to learn about voodoo, or if you want to practice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The items were also priced decently. There is even a website. read more

Voodoo Authentica - Incense, oils, blessed objects - Art Galleries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best and most positvely engaging , actively welcoming, and energeticly and of course, spiritually involved Voodoo place in the French Quarter, it is where you want/need/should go when your looking to actually learn about REAL Voodoo, both historically, through it's current practices, from genuinely involved practioners. If all you 'know' about it, is from a few 'spooky movies' and such'.. your WAY off. Anyone with an interest in unique culture, unique spiritualism, in a place that isn't just 'playing the part', but is a bona fide Voodoo Temple, as well as a shop carrying local handmade spirtual and artisticly crafted items, this is THE 'must check out' spot. read more

I've been here a couple of times for readings. It's a cool shop with lots of interesting items. The readings are some of the more reasonably priced in the quarter and feel more "authentic" than others. I recently brought my daughter in for a reading and she was blown away by how accurate it was right out of the gate. Great vibe, super friendly people... zero complaints. It will always be on my list of places to visit when I'm in town. read more

Decided to check this place out. The lobby area is very small. They have lots of goo do items for sale in the lobby. Cool stuff! The tour is self guided. Lots of creepy things. Pics and stories. Certainly worth a stop by and visit! read more

Great little shop. I would go back if I return to the city. Very nice helpful staff. Good vibe.

I've been shopping at this sanctuary for over a year now, their products are powerful & beautifully made with love. I also just received my first reading from Raven today & she was on point with the things she and her Spiritual guides mentioned (special thanks to her Gran or Nan) I'm honored to have met such a truth-speaker, Thank you ! read more

I absolutely Love this shop! I come here every time I'm in New Orleans- it's one of the "authentic" shops with goods made by Voodoo practitioners- and local artisans. I stock up on spells, candles, bath salts, voodoo dolls, Gris Gris bags, and other items bc I live up north and can't find most of these things up in Chicago! Love love love the selection! And the altars in the shop are so beautifully crafted. 10/10 experience for authentic voodoo supplies & culture! read more

Really enjoyed visiting Voodoo Authentica. Definitely speak to the folks working there to get a lay of the land. They shared with me that everything there was about positivity/positive energy. read more

I visited this shop when I was in New Orleans recently. I usually go to New Orleans about once a year but this was my first time visiting this shop. I enjoyed looking at all the various items for sale. I was interested in a reading and signed up for one that day. My reading was with Raven. She was amazing. She brought up things I do not readily share with anyone about my family and growing up. My mother passed away about 9 months ago and Raven was aware of this and so many other details. The reading made me smile, laugh and brought me to tears. I enjoyed it so much that when it was over I asked Raven if I could give her a hug, which she agreed to. If you are able to visit this shop and have time for a reading you should give it a try. read more

Very cool place. Great vibes. Appreciated the educational aspects of the place as well. I would recommend.

I've came here three times over the years for readings. I find every person I've had to be delightful and thoughtful. They are polite and clearly talented. I look forward to going back.

This voodoo shop is in the French Qtrs. I'm so glad I found it and did not have to pay for admission at another Voodoo Museum. You can make an appointment ahead to have your tarot cards read or psychic reading or Voodoo Unhexing. I bought an unhexing kit for $10 to give to a friend. There Aren't any Voodoo practicers in Seattle. I only also Psychic Readers and Healers. They have examples of different Voodoo Altars. A Giant Voodoo Doll for a drawing display was even at Harrah's Casino. The fictional stories and movies on Voodoo are all about negative Witch Drs. who stick pins in dolls. Real Voodoo is the opposite. It's used to bless a house, the park, new shop, etc. You have to look at the You Tube videos of the Healers. I did not know much about Voodoo before going to Nola. But I learnt a lot on the Ghost and Vampire tour at the French Tour. read more

We decided to stop by this store and we had a lot of fun walking around. My boyfriend bought this awesome handmade djembe from Africa! It sounds amazing and we had a great time playing it on the street after we left. The lady working at this shop was really nice. We tipped her and she told us about the misconceptions of voodoo. I highly recommend stopping by. This is a magical place.

Remembered this place from buying something from here years before and everything went incredibly well. Became eagar to see what they'll have in store now, that I thought I could settle on one thing but I spun back for more. Yet when my package arrived something out my order was missing and I was infuriated to say the least maybe more than I would have reacted normally adding with other heavier problematic things, or whatever. I written my issue about this and left it be, didn't expect that Mambo Cate would reply to me that soon after. She relieved my worry about a something else I assumed wrong and compensated the item being missing from the package with a refund , that I requested . I appreciate her getting back to me sooner! I do love what arrived and to treat them well with respect and love. read more

Best of all the voodoo shops in New Orleans! I had been here 12 years ago and was happy to see it has not changed. I love to come here to look at the Haitian beaded flags as well as all their other authentic items and shrines. You can really feel the energy here. I was looking to buy gifts for my (voodoo) dolls and though it wouldn't be an expensive purchase, the woman working tried to be very helpful. It was appreciated. It isn't 'all about the money' as is the case with the two other nearby shops. Had I planned better, I would have done a tarot reading, but they were fully booked. Next trip! I ended up buying two tea-lite candles for "prosperity" as gifts for my dolls. I know many do not believe. Yesterday, a week after my purchase and return home, I received an email informing me of a $540 check being sent - from an auction I had consigned a small item to a year ago! I had completely forgotten about it! Great place to visit! read more

Had a wonderful experience at the store. There was a very popular and well known place I went to but that seemed more like a place you go for souvenirs. This store however felt very authentic and filled with energy. The back of the store had items for sale but also alters for the lwa. I did make quite a few purchases here and wish I would have scheduled a reading. read more
