If you are planning to visit the Witches Market in La Paz next weekend, do not take photos of either the product or the sellers themselves - the local population considers this a bad omen, and similar behavior can cause hatred by witches. It sounds very ominous, does not it?
On the shelves you can see silver utensils, skins of tigers, seeds, dried insects and toads, which are used in the rite of attracting welfare to your home. To do this, you need to buy such a dried artifact, put it on a table, water it and "treat it" with a cigarette. It is believed that this ritual is quite effective and comes into effect literally a couple of hours after the implementation.
