The Sonora Witchcraft Market, located in Mexico City, is one of the most unusual markets in the world. Despite the fact that the fair is deliberately not engaged in attracting visitors, it is always quite crowded here.
The reason for the popularity of this market is outrageously simple. In case of illness, many superstitious Mexicans prefer to use the services of sorcerers first, and only then doctors.
An interesting fact is that 90% of the country's population are Catholics, but this does not prevent them from seeking help from representatives of the magical sciences, for whom the religion of those who converted does not play any role.
The Sonora Witch Market is a real labyrinth formed by narrow streets, hundreds of different counters and shops. It's easy to get lost here, and a stranger shouldn't be left alone. In such places, you should always be careful and respect foreign traditions.
In 2001, a tourist ridiculed a local merchant, and when he returned to his homeland, he began to suffer from severe headaches. Surprisingly, medicine in his case was powerless. Then, six months later, the tourist returned to the offended shopkeeper and made his deepest apologies. The next day, not a trace of migraines remained.

In the mystical market, you can find white magicians, warlocks and even supporters of voodoo magic. For a fee, they can predict someone else's future, attract success, or restore a love aura.
Both a man and a woman can become a sorcerer, but traditionally it is believed that women practicing magic are more powerful. Sorcerers are usually called here by the Spanish word "brujo". Healers, herbalists and other alternative medicine specialists also fall under this term.
What kind of goods can not be found in this place: dried snakes, bat blood, monkey bones, spider legs, rare herbs and much more. They also sell live goods on the market. Numerous frogs, squirrels, iguanas can be sold at a very reasonable price.
How to use most of the ingredients sold here can only be found in medieval witchcraft books or generic recipes passed down from generation to generation. And only regular customers are always happy to help here, opening the veil of some secrets.
Rumor has it that the market is practicing the services of forbidden magic aimed at harming others in the name of malice. Unfortunately or fortunately, it is almost impossible for a stranger to find the right sorcerer - even for money, no one will give such secrets to the first person they meet.
Although the fears are not entirely clear - from the point of view of the law, it is not possible to verify, and even more so to prove, the presence of damage or the evil eye.
The Sonora Witchcraft Market is a place with a unique magical atmosphere, ancient secrets breathe from everywhere, and sometimes there are people who feel something otherworldly. Here, witchcraft is taken seriously, and most sellers are completely confident in the miraculous properties of their product.
Mexico even has a National Association of Sorcerers, which was officially called in at the last presidential election to ensure order and ensure the integrity of the vote! So magic in Mexico is more than ingrained superstition …
