Masks and New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum (August 5, 2025)


 Do you recognize Fox?


Madam M. is the manager. She was re-stuffing the giant voodoo doll that greets customers. She explained that pushing pins in voodoo dolls is a television thing, not real. Instead, young girls learn to sew by collecting a button from each family member to place on the doll. She can point to a button and tell a story, such as, "This is from Uncle Lamont's World War II uniform. He served in the Pacific, etc."

Voodoo mirror reflecting how we all look alike inside (my interpretation)
