Akodessewa Fetish Market found in Togo is recognized as the largest fetish market in the world, a place where Voodoo practitioner can find everything they need for their rituals.
The practice of voodoo began in West Africa, before being taken to America by slaves, and in countries like Togo, Ghana, or Nigeria the religion is very much active. Many people believe healers using animal parts and strange talismans can invoke spirits with their strange rituals, and solve their problems.
And if there’s one place where voodoo priests can stock up on their creepy supplies, it’s the Akodessewa Fetish Market, in Togo’s capital city, Lome. Just think of it as an outdoor pharmacy where various animal parts, bone statues and herbs take the place of conventional medicine.
