Lonely Planet review

This large space, with an aroused Legba statue guarding its entry, offers a tourist-friendly introduction to the voodoo religion. Within it are the Temple of Pythons, an active place of worship; a gift shop that sells voodoo art and artifacts; a hookah parlor; and a bar that serves voodoo martinis.

Presiding over the Saturday night ceremonies is Dr Sharon Caulder, a scholar, author and voodoo chief who conducts healing rites for members of the audience. In the tradition of voodoo (and other religions too, of course), spirituality and theatrics go hand in hand. Visitors are welcome.
