Another super cool photo essay from BBC, this time on a market for traditional healers in Togo. Items for sale include a chimpanzee’s hand as a charm for a goalkeeper.
In the heart of Togo’s capital, Lome, is a market dedicated to the sale of ingredients which traditional healers say can make magic charms.
Joseph, a healer from neighbouring Benin, says:
“This place is like a pharmacy for everybody in the world. When someone has a serious sickness and the hospital cannot help, they come here to the fetish market.”
Another great photo essay…I found the text next to the picture you posted to be amusing…
“”We can help everybody. For example people who cannot have children.”
Certainly looks like they are able to help them have fun.
