PYTHON TEMPLE
Dangbé temple dedicated to the cult of the python, dozens of which bask in one of the small huts
The Dangbé temple is dedicated to the cult of the python, with dozens of specimens lounging in one of the small huts. If you'd like to have a python around your neck, the guide will be happy to pass it on to you for a small fee. Otherwise, he'll tell you all about the python, a voodoo god revered as far away as Grand-Popo, where his image adorns many temples. In Ouidah, the Xweda and Fon families who worship the python Dangbè (also known as Dan) are distinguished by scarification marks symbolizing the python's forehead.
