Witches Market in La Paz
Bolivia, La Paz (city)

The Market of the Witches or Mercado de Brujas is one of Bolivia's main attractions, shrouded in secrets, legends and fables. It is better to get to the Market on foot, walking along the ancient and intricate streets of La Paz. It is the walks that will make it possible to fully absorb the surrounding atmosphere. The Witch Market in La Paz is the only “shopping center” in the world that specializes in selling products for witches, sorcerers, medicine men and shamans. Of course, the kind of market, its specific product and sellers is very strange, but this is all its charm. In this market you can dial a "consumer basket" for all occasions. A huge selection of amulets that bring happiness and good luck. For various witchcraft manipulations, dried herbs, parts of frogs and insects, seeds and other fascinating ingredients used in rituals and rituals are sold. Those who did not come to Mercado de Brujas for magic are offered a large number of different silver jewelry, knitted items made of llama and alpaca wool (this is a miniature view of a llama), figurines made of wood or clay and many other interesting things. The most stunning product in the witch market is the dried germ of llama or alpaca. Not a single ritual is complete without them: all amulets-desires are gathered in one place. From above, they certainly lay the embryos of a llama or alpaca, which can even be dressed up to appease. You can carry out the ritual anywhere - in homes, in private stores, in the office of the company. That is, it is something like Orthodox consecration. It is believed that after some time all dreams will come true: a real tractor or a bakery, a husband or wife, a child and, in general, happiness in personal life will appear. It is said that one who buries a llama embryo in the corner of his new home will forever protect himself from various misfortunes. Even if the embryos of the llama are not needed for witchcraft or healing, then to see them is a unique sight in itself. In the Witch market, tourists are not advised to take pictures and take pictures of the goods. Bolivians sincerely believe that taking pictures, you take a piece of their souls, weaken their health.
