09 Fetish Market
This section of the Grand Marche du Dantokpa has nothing to do with anything sexual as the name may suggest. Instead, it has everything to do with voodoo. Traditional medicine ingredients like dried plants and tree bark are some of the more tame offerings. You will also find items for voodoo rituals including animal skin, heads, hoofs, and paws. These may come from monkeys, ducks, horses or even dogs. And of course, they sell voodoo dolls! The stench of damp and rotting animal parts may put you off, but don’t let the smell deter you from exploring this fascinating market.
