World's Largest 'juju' Market , African Market Where Voodoo 'juju' Are Sold by Knocknock: 11:16pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
Whether you are looking for good luck, spiritual protection, or answers to your illness and relationship problems, voodoo practitioners say the best place to go is the fetish market of Akodessewa, located in Lome, the capital city of Togo. One of the most popular religions still practiced today, voodoo is very much alive in Benin and Togo where the mysterious yet misunderstood religion is thought to have begun. In Togo, about 60 percent of the people retain animist beliefs and fetishes are an integral part of their local culture irrespective of the other religions they worship. Thus, the Akodessewa Fetish Market or Marche des Feticheurs has thrived since it opened in the 17th century. The voodoo practice says that every creature is potent and divine, whether dead or alive, and this is what you would find in the Akodessewa Fetish Market. The market hosts a row of tables that are piled high with embalmed animals like dogs, dried snakes, wolves, porcupine, gorilla skulls, among others. These pieces of the dead serve as talismans kept for healing, good luck, spiritual protection or to ward off evil. They are also used as ingredients for rituals, and despite the smell from these decayed body parts, people from far and near are not bothered as they patronize these items in numbers. Essentially, the Akodessewa Fetish Market is, according to Atlas Obscura, “a kind of hospital or pharmacy – it is the place you go when you either cannot afford traditional treatment or traditional treatment has failed you.” Keep reading from source website below https://yawabase.com/2020/08/worlds-largest-juju-market-african-market-where-voodoo-object-are-sold.html
