I have had so many amazing experiences as a result of these candles. I am writing a review on the…read moreprocess of these candles and their powerful accomplishments. I had the entire odds against me in buying a house in Los Angeles with my partner who had quite poor credit. The first candle we got was Obstacle Remover, because we had all these impending debts on the credit scores that were preventing us from gettin a loan. Within TWO WEEKS, the disputes we sent out to the credit bureaus caused THREE credits to jump 100 points. I lit the Road Opener to create abundance. The Road opener provided us with THREE Brokers, THREE MORTGAGE OFFERS, and the most complicated request EVER- a property with multiple, separate, domiciled residences- a duplex, triplex, guesthouse- for under 900k. After so much discrimination, rejection, competition, and stress, as each of us was even in and out of LA during the whole process, we were submitting an offer when our real estate broker dropped us. At this point, I was so stressed that I had acquired a SUCCESS candle. we had found our dream home and had a 48 hour window to submit an offer. We were contacted. CONTACTED. by another broker who OFFERED to put it in for us. We put it in and ACQUIRED THE HOUSE. I can't say enough about HOI, this has happened CONSISTENTLY with all their candles. The management is ANGELS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The first time I came to Botanica El Indio was with my mom a few years ago when she was having…read moreissues and she got a reading and a cleanse from Sal. I found everything interesting but I really did not understand everything that was going on. I just know that the place was packed with friendly staff and clients with interesting personal stories. And you know that when a business is packed, that means that whatever it is that they're selling must be really good. It is now a few years later and I tagged along with my brother this time for a reading because he was facing obstacles in his life. After his reading and cleanse he was an entirely different person but in a good way. He looked refreshed and stress-free. I asked him what did Sal tell him but my brother wouldn't tell me. He just told me that he now knows what was blocking him and what he needs to do. He told me to get my own reading. I thought about it for a minute. My grandmother has been here before for an amazing reading. My mother swears by Sal. And my two brothers were extremely happy with their readings. So what's to fear? Right? I went for it! Although I am still young and my life experiences are not very deep, my reading was equally amazing and i now have clarity and direction in my life. I really was lost as to what I wanted to do and how I wanted to go about doing it. Or even who I should be doing it with. But now everything is amazingly clear! My family has now made me part of the El Indio family. I am very grateful for Sal. It was worth the wait. Thank you so much!

I'm writing this so no one else falls for the same trap I did…read more Salvador Gata at Botánica El Indio is a smooth talker and a complete charlatan. Here's exactly how his scheme works: Step 1: He does a reading that sounds deep and convincing. He makes you believe he sees your situation clearly. Step 2: He says he needs money to perform a spiritual "job" for you. You pay because you want help. Step 3: Then he tells you that before the job can work, you need several cleanses. Each cleanse is $100-$150. You pay again. Step 4: You wait. Nothing happens. When you follow up, he says you need more cleanses. And more cleanses. And more. I followed this cycle for over a year. Every time I paid, there was another excuse, another cleanse required, another delay. The original job he promised? Never completed. Not once. When I finally asked for proof that any work had actually been done, I got vague spiritual excuses and pressure to pay for yet another cleanse. He takes advantage of people who are genuinely struggling and looking for help. He strings you along as long as you keep money coming in. But he never delivers. Do not trust Salvador Gata. Do not give him your hard-earned money. If you've already paid him and feel stuck - walk away now. He will keep taking and never give you what you paid for. Save yourself the time, money, and heartbreak. Go elsewhere.

Sandy was able to provide me with advice and suggestions that helped me move forward and not make the same mistakes which were holding me back. She is a very kind, caring and generous person who cares about her clients, and we keep coming back. I was impressed at her ability to read people as well as animals, and not just dogs or cats. This is essential for pets with owners who just can't figure out why a pet has a negative behavior. Knowing this info is like the pet telling you why they do what they do. Often this will help stop bad behavior or diagnose more in-depth medical issues. You can't go wrong with Sandy Smith.

Suddenly, I do a google search and realize that Pan's Apothika (the spiritual successor to Pan Pipes) is literally a block and a half from where I live! This occult store has a very punk-witchy aesthetic with a hand-painted icon of Hekate, a statue of Baphomet and pentagrams formed with twigs and ribbon. It has all the staples of an esoteric store, so you can easily find candles, incense and crystals, along with jewelry, pins, stickers and patches. The clerk on duty was kind and willing to assist. In my case, I was just looking for some basics, but Pan's Apothika offers other services of the occult persuasion. And prices are actually extremely reasonable So give this place some love.
