Voodoo traditional healers,
In case of illness, visiting traditional healer is still much more popular in Africa than visiting regular doctor with proper education. The magic power of herbs, animal body parts and good or evil spirits is widely believed all over the continent. In West Africa, the knowledge about healing usually is passed from generation to generation. The images of Voodoo traditional healers were taken in Benin and Togo.
