The markets of Mexico City: part two!

Market number two was all about herbal medicinals and witchcraft.
We were cautioned not to take photos overtly and so I stuck to the large variety of herbal teas touted to cure every ailment
and so pretty too!
The ones we couldn't photograph were the icons that provide protection from death and destruction and evil spirits,
or the devils with large private parts,
and the teas and lotions that promise amazing results in the bedroom!!!
It was fascinating and we had some good giggles, not in disrespect of their beliefs, but perhaps the brazenness of it all that we are not accustomed to!
I came away with a beautiful wooden carving to be hung at our front door and a pretty collection of seeds and beans promising abundance in our lives...
Today we have had abundance for sure!!
