Benin, West Africa, Bonhicon, kagbanon bebe voodoo priest during a ceremony with a owl

Mister Kagbanon Bebe is a famous voodoo priest, he sells all kind of animals and skins in his shop (i do not speak about the smell of the thousands animals under the sun) and can bring you luck with a 2 hours ceremony. He says he only does some positive actions. He lies of course. During the ceremony he allowed me to see, he took an owl and used it as a messenger for the spirits. The owl is still alive, but its cousins the pigeon and the chicken were not so lucky...Benin
