Witches Coven
Garden District Tour

Step beyond fictional witches and discover the remarkable stories of New Orleans families who quietly carried the Craft through generations. On this Garden District walking tour, explore ancestral witchcraft, Animism, family traditions, persecution, secrecy, survival, and the responsibility of inheriting knowledge from those who came before.

Hear stories shared with family permission, including women who practiced behind closed doors, places where knowledge was protected and taught, and the devastating consequences some faced when their identities became public. Follow the story of Mary Oneida Toups, whose Witch's Workshop and Religious Order of Witchcraft helped bring witchcraft into public view during the twentieth century.

Along the way, separate Hollywood imagery from family tradition and discover why secrecy was sometimes an act of protection. This is not a ghost tour or Halloween fantasy. It is an intimate journey into ancestry, resilience, identity, and the families who finally chose to tell their stories.
