Real Curses, Witchcraft Initiations, and the Horrifying History of New Orleans

Askia sits down with Sen Elias, a spiritual practitioner, High Priest, and owner of Crescent City Conjure in New Orleans to unpack Hoodoo, Voodoo, possession, exorcisms, zombies, and the real cost of walking a spiritual path. This one goes deep, fast. ______________________________ Learn more about Sen Elias: https://www.instagram.com/crescentcityconjure https://www.crescentcityconjure.us SUBMIT YOUR SCARY STORIES: https://forms.gle/sQJhS31p7oMoG9tv6 Produced by Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________ Sen Elias doesn't sugarcoat anything. From breaking down the difference between Hoodoo and witchcraft, to describing what possession actually looks like in person, this episode pulls back the curtain on a world most people only think they understand. Elias traces his Hoodoo lineage, explains why New Orleans is a living spirit that 'needs to eat,' and lays out the five signs you might be cursed. He also gets into the ethics of placing curses, the chilling reality of exorcisms, and why your ancestors outrank everything when you're in danger. The episode closes with a gut-punch: the cost of this path is normality. Ignorance is bliss, and he can't go back. ______________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Sen Elias 01:55 - What is Hoodoo? 03:47 - What REAL witchcraft looks like 05:55 - Sen Elias's spiritual journey 09:21 - Reincarnation is real? 11:22 - How to connect to other realities 14:48 - Demystifying Hoodoo 17:48 - Initiation into witchcraft 20:25 - Why New Orleans is haunted 29:19 - Cursing people 34:30 - How to know if you've been cursed 37:03 - What possession really looks like 41:03 - Real life exorcisms 45:15 - Bringing people back from the dead 50:05 - Connecting to your ancestors
