DnB Ep 187: Traditional Cajun Healing and Swamp Lore with Ken Meaux

In this special Halloween episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast we are joined by Ken Meaux, head of the website CajunMystic.com to discuss the tradition and role of the “Traiteur” or faith healer of Cajun tradition as well as a long history of ghost stories and the paranormal in the Cajun swampland of Louisiana.

What is a faith healer? Do you have to have faith to use one? Where does the tradition of the faith healer come from and does this long tradition have a place in modern Cajun society? How do stories of the Rougarou, or Cajun Werewolf, get their beginning and how to they continue through oral history into today? What can we learn from these legends and stories and how do people carry on these traditions to their children? These questions and more in this epically haunting episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast with our special guest Ken Meaux, of CajunMystic.com.
