NEW ORLEANS, LA -- Erzulie’s Authentic Voodoo today announced the first ever Vodou app for the iPhone and iPod touch. The application comes in a free basic version and an advanced version for $3.99.

The advanced application comes with all the information necessary to learn insider secrets about the mysterious world of Vodou by initiated and highly experienced practitioners.  Users can tour the rich, varied history of this ancient religion from West Africa to Haiti to New Orleans. They can also learn about the Lwa (Vodou spirits), their associated Catholic saints and authentic Vodou ceremony.  The application comes with a number of Voodoo spells users can perform on their own to advance their goals in money, love and business.

The founder, owner of Erzulie's and creator of app, Anna E. Parmelee, considers the information contained in the app to be a first of its kind.  Parmelee hopes to distinguish fact from fiction with the app. "There is a lot of misinformation running around," Parmelee said, "All over the web people slap the 'voodoo' label on inferior products or rituals that have little or nothing to do with the actual tradition."

“Our app seeks to provide users with an accurate and authentic interactive experience that exposes them to the basics and the beauty of the Vodou religion and beyond.”

The app, however, is not meant to replace lifelong studying within...
