I've heard in New Orleans, they have voodoo practitioners. What do they do, and are their hexes effective?
<|assistant|>
Yes, New Orleans is known for its voodoo traditions. Voodoo practitioners use rituals and spells to communicate with the spirit world in order to bring blessings, help with healing and problem-solving, and ward off evil. The effectiveness of a hex depends on the skill of the voodoo priest or priestess, the power of the intent, and the belief of the person being hexed.
