In New Orleans, ʻaʻole wale ʻo Mardi Gras nāna e huki i nā mea huakaʻi i kēia kūlanakauhale ola. ʻO Voodoo kekahi kumu o ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa o ke kūlanakauhale. A nā mea hoʻomanaʻo voodoo lawe mai i nā kālā he nui no ke kaona.
Akā, ʻoiai ʻoe ma New Orleans, mai noʻonoʻo ʻo ka pēpē voodoo Donald Trump āu i kūʻai ai e hoʻopilikia maoli i ke alakaʻi ʻAmelika, despit
a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka liʻiliʻi o ka liʻiliʻi o kona mau lima a ʻalani ke oho o kona lauoho (kiʻi kuhikuhi).
A ʻo kēlā mau kāleka tarot i hoʻohuli ʻia i loko o kēlā lumi mystical a wehewehe aku iā ʻoe e kahi wahine ʻano pohihihi ʻaʻole paha i unuhi ʻia e kahi kahuna wahine voodoo maoli.
Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i kēlā voodoo i kahi hilinaʻi maoli? He hana ia e hui pū i nā hoʻomana a me nā moʻomeheu o ʻApelika Komohana i lawe ʻia mai e nā kauā me nā kuʻuna a me nā ʻuhane o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, a ua hui pū kekahi hoʻomana Kalikiano a me nā manaʻo ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe.
ʻO Voodoo kahi kuʻuna waha i ʻole he palapala hemolele mua, puke pule, a i ʻole nā ʻano moʻomeheu a me nā manaʻoʻiʻo. Hoʻohana ka hoʻomana i kahi waiwai o nā hana a me nā mea e nānā ai e pili ana i ka ola o ka poʻe ukali i kēlā me kēia lā. I nā ʻano he nui, he hoʻomana pilikino ia. ʻ saidlelo ʻia nā mea ukali i nā ʻike pololei me nā ʻuhane, a hiki i kēia mau ʻike ke lilo i mea ʻokoʻa loa mai kahi wahi a kahi kanaka a kekahi kanaka.
Aia nā wahi voodoo ʻoiaʻiʻo e kipa ai ma New Orleans. Paipai ʻia nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e kipa i nā wahi e like me The Voodoo Spiritual Temple. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kēia luakini i ka makahiki 1990 e ke kahuna wahine ʻo Miriam Chamani a me kāna kāne ʻo Kahu Oswan Chamani. ʻO ia wale nō ka "formally" hoʻokumu Temepela Uhane me ka nānā ʻana i ka hana kuʻuna ʻUhane a me nā hana hoʻōla lāʻau ʻApelika Komohana i kēia manawa e noho nei ma New Orleans.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao eerie hou aku, aia kekahi wahine i ʻike ʻia (a ʻo ia nō) ʻo Voodoo Queen of New Orleans - ʻo Marie Laveaux. Ua kanu ʻia ʻo ia ma St. Louis Cemetery i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka hale kupapaʻu ʻoi loa ka hihiu ma ʻAmelika. Wahi a nā poʻe kipa he nui ua ʻike lākou i kona ʻuhane a ua lohe lākou iā ia e hāwanawana nei i nā mea hana kūpuna hilahila ʻole. Ma kona lua kupapaʻu, haʻalele ka poʻe i nā makana e like me nā ihoiho, pua, a me nā pēpē voodoo, me ka lana o ka manaʻo e hāʻawi ʻo ia i kā lākou makemake. Inā hana ʻo ia, e hoʻi ka mea pōmaikaʻi e hōʻailona i kona lua kupapaʻu me 3 X māka e hōʻike ai i ko lākou mahalo.
Eia naʻe, mai kuhihewa. ʻO ka moʻolelo o Marie Laveaux a me kāna kāne ʻo Charles, he mea maoli a hoʻomaopopo ʻia hoʻi. Ua kapa ʻia ka United States Department of the Interior ʻo 1801 Dauphine Street - ka home o Marie lāua ʻo Charles Laveaux - i ka National Register of Historic Places.
