Occult Corner: our recommendations from our trip to New Orleans!

Anansi’s Daughters for tours!  We took the NOLA Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess and loved the time we spent with Eshé, who was exceptionally inviting and informative.  The tour centered around Congo Square in Armstrong park, so if you’re not so interested in walking longer distances but are comfortable standing for a couple of hours, this would also be accessible to you. They also offer a Black Music & Hoodoo tour and ‘The Blackest Ghost Tour’ which sound like incredible experiences. https://www.anansisdaughters.com/

For metaphysical shops, we recommend the Sassy Magick and Sassy Magick Noir locations and Path of Awakening.  Both are linked in the acquisitions section above. 

For campy fun + classy decor + great tea and nibbles we really enjoyed the Vampire Apothecary https://vampireapothecary.com/ we had the loveliest ‘goth girl tea time’ there!  The have another location called the Vampire Cafe.

Occult Corner: Lauren got sucked into the Twin Flames Universe cult at the recommendation of Emily’s shipping manager, Sarah, and decided to tell Emily all about it.  There are several streaming documentary series on this new age cult, Lauren found the Netflix one to have more trauma porn but also allowed cult survivors to tell more of their own story, the one on Prime was a little more removed and focused on the Vice reporter who broke the story in early 2020.  Both series interview a queer expert.  There was also an episode of the Conspirituality podcast on the cult.
