In our perception, minor illness goes to the pharmacy, serious illness goes to the hospital, but in such a backward medical country as Togo, when people get sick, the first thought is to go to the market to buy some animal bones to grind into powder to use. And this weird, scary treatment has been around for hundreds of years.
The Lomé Akodessawa market is the world's largest fetish market and the world's largest voodoo market. So what kind of religion is this voodoo flights from shenzhen to kota kinabalu religion? It can be treated as a witches religion in novels, movies, and games. It is a very mysterious religion in West Africa.
The market is not far from the centre of Lomé, the capital of Togo, and can be reached in about ten minutes by bus. When you shake off the glass and smell a rotten smell in the air, the world's heaviest market is here. Next you need to tighten your nerves and cover your nose to try how far you can go. In fact, most people are very difficult to walk through, and the smell and visual impact of that rotting corpse makes you want to escape in minutes.
A variety of animal carcasses such as goats, gazelles, bats, monkeys and rhinos are on display at the market stalls. Some of the animals were the remains of large animals that had been picked up on the riverbed, others had been put on the shelves gansu flights for sale after hunting, and there had been some hairy bones in the early years, but such a place was a holy place for voodoo.
According to voodoo, everything is spiritual in life and death and can be used as a talisman to cure diseases by grinding or burning ashes from these bones. The locals are convinced of this incredible idea that, once ill, or out fishing, people will bring their amulets back from the market.
Today in the 21st century, this "black magic" in the novel still exists and has a direct connection with backward education, but it is ultimately the result of national poverty. The state has no money to improve health facilities, no jobs, no income, and, if ill, no more than a non-scientific approach.
As a heavily indebted poor country, Togo still needs a number of national assistance today. Fortunately, Togo's economy has grown in recent years as port trade has been highlighted and the value of tourism in coastal cities has increased. Perhaps in this general environment, the foreign fetish market in Lome will disappear after many years.
