La Botánica
Alaffia et Elatché
La Botánica offers the finest selection of ritual ingredients and tools found in the markets of Dahomey (Bénin Republic), as well as traditional vodou talismans and materia handmade by my partner, Howatan “Segbo-Lissa” Hounon. Each product is carefully crafted by Segbo-Lissa using time-honored plant knowledge, recipes and practices passed down to him by his father, the Supreme Chief of Vodou, Dada Daagbo Hounon Houna II and other esteemed elders of their lineage.
Born into a prominent family of the priestly caste in Ouidah and raised in their Indigenous ways of ancestral veneration and traditional spiritual culture of Vodou Hwendo, Segbo-Lissa is a Zangbeto Kpamingan (Zangbeto high priest) and an adept of various vodoun covenants who specializes in natural remedies, talismans and spirit conjure. All of the products he prepares are blessed and consecrated in our Mami Wêkê Sika temple.
