Fetish Market Gbe

The Marche des Fetiches in Lomé is the largest voodoo market in the world. Stalls overflow with dried animal heads, python skins, warthog tusks, camel bones, herbs, powders, and objects whose purpose you should not ask about unless you are ready to hear the answer. Healers from across West Africa come here to stock their pharmacies, and the vendors can identify every root, every bone, every talisman by touch alone. This is not a tourist attraction. This is a working spiritual supply store that has been operating for generations.
