St John’s Eve on Bayou St. John

Every year on the eve of St. John’s Day, a voodoo priestess and her followers gather on the Magnolia Bridge over Bayou St. John to offer blessings for the crops. It used to be Marie Laveaux, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, now it’s Sallie Ann Glassman, the Voodoo Priestess of New Orleans. Michael Domenici, WWOZ host of the New Orleans show took some cool photographs this year.

    Makes me wish I had been to YOUR St. John’s instead of MY St-Jean here in Québec — voodoo… yeah!

    The photos are superb…
    Merci Michael Domenici!
