Brazil's huge Ver-O-Peso market in Belem, near the mouth of the Amazon, sells voodoo charms and dried snakes, plus dried alligator and animals skulls, for shamans and others. A macumba voodoo ceremony is held every few nights in Belem. In Senegal's Ile de Goree, vultures circled overhead when our guide explained that spirits, the macumba, are said to live on the island. West Africa, Brazil, Haiti, and other places with former slaves still have frequent macumba ceremonies. Vultures were first attracted to the Ile de Goree by bodies buried in big hollow baobob trees. Now bodies are buried elsewhere.
