Hi, I am a writer and have included "Voodoo Village" (actually called the St. Paul Holy Spiritual Temple) in a book I wrote in 2005 about yard art. Have you any more photos of the site? I honored my promise to the founder, Washington Harris, not to take photos although there are three drawings in the book by a member of the Temple and captions for each that he also contributed. It is rapidy deteriorating so I am looking for photos. Thanks.

in or about 1971 or 72, three of my friends and myself actually drove into the voodoo village compound and had a lengthy conversation with who i remember to be the old man harris. we were allowed to enter two of what he called "chambers" (rooms). it was a pretty interesting day.
let me know if you would like to hear more about it.
