Animals mostly belong in the wild, the water or at home as pets ,but in Oja Oba market in Osun Oshogbo, Nigeria, animals like chameleons, crocodiles,rats, goats etc are used for fetish charms and voodoo.
"With just 150 Naira, i can hook the man of my dreams," says Adeola
BattaBox presenters Adeola and Timothy visits Osun Oshogbo's famous Oja Oba voodoo market, where you find cowries, animal horns, goat heads, cat heads and different dried out animals used to make any charm, be it for love , safe delivery, examination success, or whatever you desire.
"The dried rats are used to make concoctions for pregnant women's safe delivery," says the sales woman.
But most of these charms are not used for good, some could be used for evil or wickedness...
"Chameleons and rattle snake heads are used to do evil," says another man as he shows us around
Although if these charms really work,who are the people who buy charms from the Oja Oba market? Adeola asks one of the women.
"Our clients are Muslims, Christians and Herbalists," she says
When it comes to the tutorial on making love charms, Adeola has bigger plans for herself as she makes her special strong love portion for our Nigerian money bags, both home and abroad.
"Men, you people have finished," laughs adeola

In Anatomy of the Spirit (1996), Caroline Myss describes the function of chakras as follows: "Every thought and experience you've ever had in your life gets filtered through these chakra databases. Each event is recorded into your cells...". The chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. New Age practices often associate each chakra with a certain colour. In various traditions, chakras are associated with multiple physiological functions, an aspect of consciousness, a classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics. They are visualised as lotuses or flowers with a different number of petals in every chakra.
The chakras are thought to vitalize the physical body and to be associated with interactions of a physical, emotional and mental nature. They are considered loci of life energy or prana (which New Age belief equates with shakti, qi in Chinese, ki in Japanese, koach-ha-guf in Hebrew, bios in Greek, and aether in both Greek and English), which is thought to flow among them along pathways called nadi. The function of the chakras is to spin and draw in this energy to keep the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health of the body in balance.

It was Ninmah who helped Enki create human mortals, shaping seven imperfect pairs of males and females. As mother goddess of the Earth, Ninhursag (Ninmah) was ranked with Enlil and Enki in importance. Temples to her included the E.mah, 'Exalted House,' in Adab and another temple of the same name at Girsu. Ninmah is the half sister of Enki and Enlil. Ninhursag is one of the oldest members of the Sumerian pantheon and has prestigious titles such as 'mother of the gods' and 'mother of all children'.
