Mardi Gras & Voodoo

After the PowerPoint presentation of the Voodoo Museum in class, I decided to browse online to learn more about it. I found a neat article, here, about Voodoo in Mardi Gras. It discusses how Voodoo themes are evident in Mardi Gras. It even goes on to say that Voodoo itself has been incorporated into Mardi Gras. Many believed that Voodoo made its way into Mardi Gras after events in Congo Square were brought to an end. Many also believed that they have reappeared in Mardi Gras. One of the obvious examples includes the Mardi Gras Indians. During a Mardi Gras procession, dancing and singing are usually common. Such activities are very much alive and present in a Voodoo ceremony. The article also briefly mentions the Skull and Bone gangs and The Baby Dolls.
