    F&F Botanica

    Forget all the fake voodoo shops in the French Quarter; this is a genuine Puerto Rican botanica that sells candles, gris-gris (spell bags) and spell components for use in voodoo and Santeria (the latter is a Puerto Rican religion related to voodoo). No tourist-oriented Hollywood-style dolls here; real worshippers drop in to deal with real issues, which, according to the spell lists, seem to mainly be related to ­heartache, immigration issues and the law.
