Goodluck Charms, Potions and Spells inside Witches Market of Lapaz

In this Witches market, there are dozens of stalls selling all the charms and potions you’ll need to gain favour with the spiritworld, as the Aymara do. Dried frogs, aphrodisiac concoctions, statues and ritual ingredients like feathers, snakes and herbs are also for sale here. Llama foetuses are dried and given as an offering to the goddess Pachamama, or Mother Earth, who in return is believed to grant prosperity and good luck to her followers.
Offerings to Pachamama are often made by those wanting help or good luck while starting a hard or significant task. Many construction workers bury llama foetuses on the work site as a way to ask Pachamama to keep them safe while on the job.
