Akodessewa Fetish Market

Notorious market trading in traditional spiritual items, animal parts, and ancestral medicines.

The Akodessewa Fetish Market is Lome's most famous market, dealing in traditional medicines, animal skins, skulls, and ritual items. It is visceral, sacred to practitioners, and shocking to outsiders. Guides are essential; photography is controversial and typically not permitted. Many find it uncomfortable; others find it illuminating about traditional spirituality.
