Hello everyone, I was a customer of lucky mojo whom spent lots of money. I also was a member of the forum. On the forum I was notified months ago from Catherine Yronwode saying that my signature was "Hoodish" and to me thats a racist statement. I had a word in my signature that I censored. She mention that kids come on the forum, but theres topics that talks about penis, vaginal, and semen fluids etc. I had the word "b****es in my signature censored "I got the hoohoo for you b****" She said that was hoodish, I'm not from the hood and I look at that as a racist comment. She could have handled that situation alot better than throwing racist words at me. What is hoodish? She saying i'm from the hood and talk hood I guess, lol. My signature was up for months before I got notified that it was bad and "hoodish". I have purchased alot from this website, ordered readings from people, and promoted their products to lots of people. I posted a few threads on the forum in seeking help in my situations and recently asked if they could be deleted for privacy reasons, the mods told me NO, even though their threads I posted, they said it was property of Lucky Mojo, I'm going to talk to a lawyer about this matter. They even removed me from the forum with no notice and I have sent emails, but no replys. I was made fun of in one of the threads on the forum just for having a question I had no knowledge of and needed to know an answer. The customer service is bad, when you call for information on products, they tell you to go on the forum. I have spent hundreds of dollars on this website and this is the thanks I get in return?

Thank you Brandy Martin so much for replying and sharing your friend's story as well, sorry that happen to your friend. I WILL NEVER EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SPEND ANOTHER DIME AT LUCKY MOJO AGAIN. Theres lots of other botanical stores online to shop on and very great customer service. They will probly get on here and reply bashing us, lol. But you have to be very mindful of how you treat your customers thats how you lose business. That was very unprofessional and racist how that woman referred to a comment of mines as "HOODISH" . She need to google the word hoodish if theres such a word. I'm going to leave this in my higher powers hands, because ounce I give it to him all is good and karma is always a ###. I was a loyal customer and active on the forum, how dare cat and her team treat me this way.

Hey Chelsey, Sorry you went through that kind of treatment at LM too. That's not good business for Cat to treat customers this way at LM whom purchase lots of products and services from LM. I've learn in any kind of business customers are always right, you should be good to customers, and customers come first, without customers YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS, so cater to your customers. Small or Big orders customers are customers, and when cat treat customers in bad manners, it's not a good look for LM.

Hello everyone, my name is Betty and I found a guy on Clubhouse app. His name is Theodore Beauleiu and he a REAL DEAL hoodoo. His work and readings are EXCELLENT! I am so sorry y'all have had a bad experience with Cat, but there are Hoodoo folks out there that are excellent spirit workers. Check Theo out, you won't be disappointed. Also, get one of his gris-gris, you life will never be the same.

I'm so glad to see all these people speak up im proud of all of you. A lot of the teachings are exactly what someone mentioned "ocd" I think its weird that all the teachings she teaches are a bout black culture and she isn't even black. Thats why things are off but i wanted to mention her ""graduates" i had a really negative experience with some of them. very arrogant.

They have the mindset of a satanist. Im not here to judge but voudon and hoodoo is not Satanism so i wanted to make that point.

Ultimatley a white person can not dictate the life and experiences of a black person for the African Americans umungst us know who they are everyday no matter how much they want it to change. and that IS hoodoo

I recommend finding a wiccan practitioner of magic rather than this because the hoodoo area has been diluted with one opinion tone. Every time I run into a hoodoo practitioner who has been doing it longer than her their techniques are far more different and her stuff looks ok to them but not what they do.

Thank you so much for having the guts to write this.

About 4 years ago, I was signing up for a wholesale acct. with Lucky Mojo.

Well, I had sent everything in including our DBA, Tax ID, EIN information which included our physical address and our phone number. I had never bought from Lucky Mojo before because I saw that they they rip you off on shipping bigtime...I was thinking that a wholesale account would help. This is before my husband and I started our own Metaphysical shop selling similar items.

I had just started building my website. I thought it would be great to have books on there for free so that other witches could read them. Well, Ms. Yronwode decided she was going to nose around on my site, and then I got a nasty message accusing me of copywrite infringement due to some of the books I had on there. After researching this issue myself, I took down all the books, and then apologized to Ms Yronwode.

This did not stop there. I was getting calls from HER NUMBER with HER CALLER ID on my phone, and then her husband's...I don't remember his name, but it was very weird. Then we started feeling down and having suicidal thoughts...both my husband and I at the same time. We put two and two together, and came to the conclusion that this [censored] and her [censored]ed up husband had cursed us. Thank goodness that we are professional witches who can take care of this sort of thing quickly. We did, and then eventually the phone calls and chanting stopped.

This lady is [censored]ed up. She has delusions of grandure, she is severely OCD (just read her Hoodoo Correspondence Books...a very sick woman), and is the most EVIL WOMAN IN THE INDUSTRY!

We are living proof that this woman likes to mess with people's lives. I heard her satanic husband wrote a book telling gay teenagers how to commit suicide. She even backed up the book in an interview that I saw years ago.

BEWARE OF LUCKY MOJO! REFRAIN FROM EVER GIVING THIS WOMAN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF! SHE THINKS THAT PEOPLE WHO POST BOOKS ONLINE FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY ARE THE "DEVIL". CATHERINE AND HER HUSBAND WILL CURSE YOU IF YOU DARE PUT ANY BOOK ONLINE FOR THE PUBLIC TO READ FOR FREE!

THIS WOMAN IS EVIL TO THE BONE. NOTHING GOOD ABOUT HER OR HER BUSINESSES, OR HER BOOKS, OR HER "READERS AND ROOTWORKERS ASSOCIATION"

Do your homework!

Wow cat is crazier than I thought! I was a long time customer for over 14 years. She really upset me as you see my post below. I even heard stuff about her and her husband Nagasiva killing and sacrificing animals as well as encouraging who are depressed or feeling suicidal to take their lives! This was the story I read stated about the husband! That is horrible! So it's not a surprise that she has snakes working with her and friends with them as well. Even though I knew this information, I was hoping it wasn't true. More people are becoming aware of this place. Here I am thinking she was a good person until she showed her true colors last year. Karma doesn't forget. So sorry you had to experience that. May all the evil and negativity her and her husband, associates, employees, AIRR put on you or anyone else comes back 1000x fold. I think that lying a$$ thieving fraud lady muse tried to put something on me or that lying heifer miss Robin. But their demonic spells and work won't WORK on me! The Ancestors, Angels and Universe are always protecting and guiding me. I'm divinely protected.

Karma to you ho3s!

Lucky Mojo won't be so lucky.

I have had nasty experiences from LM/Cat as well. I called the shop and asked for advice on a situation, what products to use, etc. The person on the phone told me to call in to the show and ask Cat. I did that and she copped a nasty attitude telling me the show was not for that. So why would their employees tell me to do that? Why would the employee set me up to be made a fool of publicly by Cat?

THIS IS A GOOGLE REVIEW I MADE A FEW MOMTHS AGO THAT WAS DELETED. YOU CAN'T DELETE ALL THE REVIEWS! THIS IS LONG.
I honestly would have rated it 5 stars. I was a lucky Mojo supporter since 2006! But recently I was scammed out of a lot of money by one of their affiliated rootworkers from Hoodoopsychics.com lady muse stole over $2, 000 from me. She is a fraud, liar and a thief! She also stole $500 from another young lady that I was told about. When I brought this up in the lucky Mojo forum, my message was deleted. I was actually banned because I was talking about the situation on the forum board. But it was a forum to contact the Ombudsman so I don't know why it was a problem. I thought the Ombudsman was supposed to be a neutral party but they're not. Miss Robin had already talked to Lady screws before I even spoke with her. I know that because she told me that she talked to her already and I have the email to prove it. But I thought the Ombudsman was there to help you but they're really not they all In Cahoots together.

They go around and they steal money this is why they're in business because they scare and manipulate people like Lady screws tried to do by saying she's going to take legal action but you don't scare me honey and you never will you talking to a WARRIOR!

I contacted miss Robin and Jon Saint-Germain. Miss Robin is nothing but a big liar and a fraud like lady Muse they're both friends and they both cover for one another. Miss Robin knows full well I sent her several emails and she went back and lied to the Better Business Bureau and said that I didn't contact her or Jon and that I was talking heinous to her. Stop lying when I never did and I have the emails. But I did email them both and they Never responded. lady muse not only lied and said I had a generational curse but she ghosted me for several weeks several times and I never got any validation of the work that was done.

She never told me what she was going to do she never told me any details she pretty much just took my money. So how do I know you're even doing any work for me if you can't give me any details or proof of validation?!

After I asked for a picture, (which was A suggestion from another rootworker from Hoodoopsychics.com) she became very rude and irate. She said that she could FaceTime me but she couldn't send me any pictures. but she's so stupid she doesn't know that you can screenshot a FaceTime. I don't have an iPhone so you cannot FaceTime me which is what I told her. She never responded back. And if they are working with people like that, that they do devilish things I want no parts of it. The fact that they would just ban me after I told them about somebody that is affiliated with their company I want no parts of it.

No one showed any empathy at all not even the owner or owners of the business. Who I have talked to several times over the years. I contacted PayPal, the Better Business Bureau and Lady Muse went on to lie and say that I have been harassing her and she's about to take legal action. Come with it fraud. I'm lawyered up! I have not even text this lady or called her since June 25th.

You don't play around with people's money and people's livelihoods but you going to get yours. She went around lying talking about she had the flu and then her aunt died but you know what, you going to pay for your lies trust and believe that. After I put in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, lady Muse went on the site to write her own reviews and pretend that she's different people. I know that because there were no reviews on the Better Business Bureau website until I put in a complaint.

A hit dog will holla! If this is the way that they conduct business and they work with frauds and liars and people that steal money who claim their ordained prophets and they're doing work of the Lord, they will never get my business or support again. They will all get their KARMA, especially you lady muse because I will get justice! I wouldn't be surprised if they delete this review. I will never support lucky Mojo again. KARMA 10x

I EVEN ATTACHED A PICTURE FROM THE FRAUD MS ROBINSON AND THE THIEF LADY MUSE. The picture attached is an email from me to miss Robin. The big liar. TRUST CAT, LADY MUSE AND EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED WILL GET THEIR KARMA. SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AND ITS CALLED KARMA. THIS PLACE IS WICKED AND THE PEOPLE ARE TOO. KARMA 10X

Hi, this is cat again.

Herbal Helper claims that he or she got "readings from the site" and that "both of the readings were from black rootworkers."

Trouble is, our shop doe NOT offer readings. In 25 years, it NEVER has, .

We offer a link to me as a reader (I am Jewish, not Black.)

We offer links to two online directories of readers of whom i am a member -- along with 30-plus other people. Neither of those sites is owned or operated by my shop and i get no cut from the readings or rootwork purchased through those sites. I list those directories because i am a member, for the convenience of my shop customers, that is all.

Nobody i know calls me "Kathy" -- for the simple reason that my name is catherine (with a C) and my nickname is cat (with a C). I have never gone under the name "Kathy" in my life, and the last time anyone called me "Cathy" was around 1960 -- almost 60 years ago. I stopped responding to that name in 1959 and by 1960, everyone i knew had stopped calling me by that name.

Again, i would like to point out that we have no idea if the above complaint was posted by the owner of a rival supply company, a very confused person, or someone who hates me personally. Whoever they are, they are not making much sense.

I would love an apology -- but i know by now that i will not get one. This site just exists to build up bad will against hard-working and well-intentioned small business owners.

If you have trouble with my company, please do phone. We put a lot of effort into hand-crafting products and we have thousands of satisfied clients and customers. We operate a 24/7 forum site, too, where you can reach out and connect with us. It is called the Lucky Mojo Forum and it is free to join and post to. You can create an anonymous account and get in touch with me any time you want.

Best of luck to you all.

I have received several readings from you mrs cat. As well as let's drop names, Lukianos, Conjureman Ali, etc. (I feel they might be okay) On your hoodoo radio show not the site but the radio show on Sundays. I have been a member for over 13 years. Those fake rootworkers on AIRR that you are representing are frauds. You are too in my book! Especially after you or whoever banned me for telling my truth! The cat is out the bag. People are coming forward to expose those frauds like Lady muse, miss robin that you support on your site. Karma 10x!

I meant to say Lucky mojo forum and Hoodoopsychics.com are on your site and they show the readers and rootworkers. Most are frauds who work together. Lady muse is a black fake prophet who stole my money. And her friend ms robin who lies and steals too, which is why she has the name robbin is a thief and fraud too and she is black. They cover for each other and lie and scam those that come to them for help. But you can't run nor hide from Karma.

I have bought some of Cat Yronwode’s books, supplies from Mojo and readings from the site. Both of the readings were from black rootworkers.

One was better than the other, but she wanted $875 to help me keep my job. I had an issue with a coworker and told this lady no thanks. For $875, I could have someone fix her car’s brakes. I just waited it out and prayed, and in the end, I kept my job and caught the troublesome coworker stealing.

The other was rude and crazy. There was a lot of confusion about making the appointment. Then the reader asked me about my marriage, and I opened up about our difficulty conceiving a child. The person told me it would cost money to remove curses: $100 for abortions, $50 for miscarriages and another $100 on top of that for a fertility spell. So, $350 upfront to elevate the lost souls preventing me from conceiving and $100 to hurry that along. I asked if the payments could be broken up, because I was not in a hurry to do the fertility work. But this person got angry that I wouldn’t completely trust them and let them invoice me their full amount.

After much arguing, I got my money back. But this person seemed immature to me. I don’t see how their supposed cultural heritage gives them some kind of spiritual authority to extort money from women who feel guilt over past decisions. This person even mentioned Cat in their anger. “Tell her to get a reading from (Kathy) (sic).” I hope these aren’t the random blacks you’re supposed to befriend to gain accreditation in her hoodoo school.

Hello, This is catherine yronwode. I hope that anyone who has a complaint against me or my company will take the time to contact us. I would also like to take a moment to get you to think about this site. Not about me -- i am just another small business owner trying to get by in the world -- but about sites like this, and what they offer the viewer.

Everything said here about me (and worse) has also been said at this site about my friends, my associates, my rivals, and even my enemies in the metaphysical industry. We, the makers, suppliers, shop-keepers, and service providers -- are under constant attack here. We are held up to ridicule, defamation, false charges, and humiliation, And the attacks are anonymous.

Furthermore, because this site encourages anonymity, you, the reader, may never know which complaining person is relating a true failure of customer service or human kindness, which complaining person is a vengeful competitor posting anonymous falsehoods in an attempt to ruin the reputation of a rival's business, and which complaining person is obsessed with posting to these complaint sites out of a delusional sense of being victimized.

You may never know if the person who complained about a shop "forgot" to tell you that their credit cards had declined on four purchases in a row and the shop refused to take any further orders from them.

You may never know if the person who complained about a shop had previously made numerous false claims to the shop asking for replacement of "broken items" but would never send a cell phone picture of what was claimed to be broken.

There is no place for shops to complain about criminal customers who charge goods or services to dozens of shops, receive them, and file false credit card chargebacks, claiming that their credit cards were stolen.

There is no place for shops to complain about customers who take a hammer to goods that they received in good shape, claim the goods were broken in transit, and ask for their money back.

This anonymous site certainly does contain legitimate complaints, but in my experience, any company such as mine, in business for 20-plus years, with more than 50, 000 customers in its database, and more than a dozen employees, cannot please everyone on every day. However, given our limitations of time and resources, shop owners such as us do try make things right for those who have legitimate complaints, and i think that we, the small shop owners of America, deserve better than this sort of anonymous trash talk. Please call us and try to work things out. We are not as bad as these sites make us out to be.

Thanks.

I do not know you or anyone else ,I recently have become intrigued with New Orleans Voodoo and Hoodoo ,I have heard of you just by reading up and happened to stumble on this page .I am sitting in no judgement on you and I do not believe everything I read in complaints etc. there is always some truth some untruths and the somethings in between . I do however believe that the real voodoo/hoodoo of New Orleans lies in the old french creole families that they practiced in private ,passed down their stuff through generations ,i also think their way is dying because of all the new school [censored] and that most so called practitioners are just ut for money instead of using their craft for true healing ,There are 100s of shops on Etsy selling oils,herbs,incense,dolls an the like charging people out the [censored] for classes and readings ,to me none are true practitioners just scam artist .A truly powerful voodooist and hoodooist are rare and your not going to find them online selling a bottle of oil for 10 bucks a pop , that is how I see it . I mean no disrespect here and I am not calling you personally a fraud ,you do have quite a reputation just the same all I see is online drama and alot of money being made and alot of unhappy customers .

I agree it's about money I'm from new Orleans when you look at products you see that there are made for fun a novelty. But it does not to work.

There's not many real hoodoo practitioners around. All the ones online you see are new age not traditional like they claimed.

Just like voodoo it's a close community passing down their teachings which can take time. Not like talking a online course.

"hoodish" you ignorant, slandering [censor], can also pertain to all colors - but in your ridiculously stupid, racist eyes, you believe it only pertains to black people. she was basically saying you are ignorant and uneducated.

You made it racist by insisting that the word is meant only for black people.
If I were the owners of mojo, i'd sue you for slander... and i'd win.

You'd be wise to stop spreading your own racist hatred on your blog and here towards a particular party.

And no, i'm not related to nor have I ever spent a dime on their site - i'm smarter than that and make my own [censor] to protect and conjure. feel free to bring upon your silly dark spell to attempt to harm me for my statement... i'm really into reflective spells and dark conjure myself. I know, very well, how to protect myself and my family and am not afraid of all of our ultimate doom we call death.

Get the [censor] over your stupid [censor] and go help someone, i.e. children with cancer, volunteer for the mentally challenged, etc... your blog, slandering this woman over the word "hoodish" is ridiculous and an open invitation to sue you and again... she'll win because the evidence is right online and screenshots by people like me who wish to help out someone who is being unfairly treated because of your own ridiculously stupid, back-handed racism.

Hoodish is not a racist word - by definition it means uneducated poor person - has zero to do with color.

Have a wonderful day and kindly get a life.

Also I love the fact that people who rage about supposed racism sit here and blatantly claim that a specific magic and practice is reserved for black people only and refuse to buy products on the grounds that the business is owned by a white woman. If you look at history of hoodoo you might find yourself very surprised. You might also discover that while it is form of magic strongly influenced by African and Afro-American culture there's an immense amount of influences that come from Europe, Native American culture as well as Latin America.

OK. So... I'm quite surprised at your reviews. I have learned a fair bit from LM and cat. Yes she is rather direct and straight to the point and not everyone appreciates it. I find her practice as well as that of rootworkers associated with her rather useful and I never had problems with the customer service or shipments from LM. I will agree that cat does not provide much information about Haitian voudon and her information is not exactly the best, however her information about practice of hoodoo is rather spot on. It is worth pointing out that as any folk magic there are many ways to practice and do certain things and different rootworkers could argue till cows come home on the matter. As for the original post... Grow up. You got told on someone's board that they're not happy with your screen name so you stoop to calling them racist? You're bothered about technical posts that involve bodily fluids but you want to learn about hoodoo? I can understand the point of some of complaints posted here but if you step back and try to take a non-biased view you might realise that you're missing a few spots.

They put so much effort into organising the forum and website and giving useful information. Then when you order the products take weeks to come, they don't state on the site when items are out of stock, they like money if you say you will have the parcels in two deliverys they will try to charge a second time for postage even though you may have paid $20 dollars for delivery already, they delivered 5 oils and 1 root for $20 dollars really it should be 10, once they get you're money never they will answer emails it's just overall b.s. in the end never will I order from this site I will order from Lavinia on etsy. If i knew that this website belonged to a white woman no way would I order my hoodoo merchandise from there. Hoodoo is black culture what the hell a white woman doinh with it making money money from black culture and then they don't have respect.

can someone or an American like her tell her, go do some researches about voodoo(vodou) before she gives brief explanation about it? I see that she mainly focus on hoodoo, but when ask about vodou, she gave a brief explanation, which is false information about vodou. She stated that vodou is a haitian religion and one can't practice vodou. if you don't practice vodou, then how you do the rituals and serve ezulie and Baron?. haitian people laughing of her. she looks idiot online when she does that. I think she is financially stable, she can make some trip in africa and haiti to learn about vodou. Haitian like myself would love to teach her, we love those white like her who have the nerve to make profit of other incapable people culture, like back in the day white folk like her take advantage of black people.

I have to agree and I must say that I was verbally attacked on more than one occasion by Cat. She would swoop in and just go off on me when I would just ask a question and one day I went off BAD. I could not believe someone of her statue could be so ### and RUDE. I also recall emailing the company years prior to that asking about products for obsession, explained my situation with this guy and the email I got back was "Honestly we have nothing for that and what's worse is that you want to make this guy obsessed because that's what you feel". Could you believe this was the reply to my email and what's so funny is they have a full thread about OBSESSION WORK! Cat seemed to have calmed her mouth down some but I still feel she should be put in her place. It makes no sense how nasty she used to get, and her war with Christos Kioni was just INSANE!

I long to study Hoodoo and rootwork, and when I applied to do Cat's course she told me that because I am white and British that I would need to have at least one black friend to help me. Apparantly I can't really get through the course without it. :( I told her I didn't know any african people but she insisted I could not do the course without. I cannot find any other course so far, and am really annoyed because it is my calling.

I agree with everyone on this thread regarding Catherine Yronwode. My experiences with LM have been abysmal without exception. The one order I made from them took MONTHS to arrive, with no communication from their end nor even a apology for the excessive amount of time it took for the order to be delivered. I then joined the forum hoping for some advice and guidance on some things, and while others on the forum were very helpful and kind, Mrs Yronwode was very rude and condescending. Reading through several of her articles on LM, I have always been struck by her superior and self-righteous attitude. She is definitely someone who WAAAAY too full of herself and really needs to be taken down several pegs. Hopefully her come-uppance will come soon, and that we and everyone else she has stepped on and screwed over will be around to enjoy it.

I wanted to post my story about the LM Store. In spring 2012, I went through a very bad breakup with a man whom I believed that I was truly in love with. It's a long story, but it didn't work out and I was quite depressed, so I ordered a 'Cut and Clear' spell kit from LM. I kept waiting and it took over three months for me to receive my order! In the mean time, I called the LM Store a couple of times and as usual, their help was very difficult and rude. A clerk named, Dan, could not talk on the phone and gave the phone to Alicia in the store. She thought that the phone was on 'hold' but I could hear them talking and making rude comments.
BTW: The LM Store will NOT take paypal for online orders ever---something to do with the CA state tax on tobacco--a traditional Hoodoo product. If you do not have a credit card--(like me)---you will have to use a reloadable card from Walmart Store, etc. to order!

Another time, I had a phone reading with Miss Cat and it was a complete disaster. An LM staff member handed her computer printout sheets listing the products and setting up lights that I had ordered from them. Miss Cat did not care about the volume of purchases made by me, but only commented on one candle burning at MISC. I ordered a crossing candle set on the altar for a very bad and dangerous family member, after trying most every other kind of protection spell. The owner spent fifteen minutes of my half hour phone reading ranting about how 'evil' I was, without me being able to explain anything about this dangerous person! However, the LM Store did take my money for the candle burning without any issues!

I personally have found Miss Cat to be very vain and proud and jealous of other Hoodoo stores and rootworkers. The LM Store has the monopoly on Hoodoo rootwork, including the correspondence course, and they know it too! I sincerely hope there is a big, rival store in the near future for customers to shop online.

I also went on the LM FB page asking questions only to be told this is my personal page (Cat) and you need to post to the LM page, only this clearly was the LM page and not hers. I told her so only for her to shut her mouth and not respond back. Every damn time I order a candle vigil I literally have to hound them for a report every time, they never get back to me on their own free will. I have spoken to some very nice people at the missionary church they run but I am definitely going to take my business elsewhere from now on. In this day of the internet there are many competent places to do business with.

I have witnessed LM mistreat a friend of mine. She never speaks badly of them, or discusses her experience concerning this incident but it shocked me. I know the amount of money she spent and her friends and family, she sent over to LM. She was a loyal customer, she would order six of the same oils and would give it to her friends so we could sample LM products. I know this for a fact, I would go to her house and help her unpack. She even order the candle service from them. She fell on hard times and sought help from them. She call into their show maybe two months ago.. I was shocked on how they spoke to her, Miss Cat got on her about not finishing her course work and not being able to do a mass for her ancestors. She has graves disease, which means some days, she can't walk and suffers from extreme depression, her Mom passed on, her Nanny passed on, her animals had died, her husband has MS, she had a series of bad luck, my friend, in all honesty didn't get out of her bed for over a year. I was shocked when Miss Cat told her she doesn't complete anything. I have the utmost respect for my friend, I know what she has endure and what she has come through. For "great readers" I was just amaze how they spoke to someone who was putting their life back together after a series of unfortunate loses and heartbreaking situations. That killed me and to speak to someone who has severe depression like that, what's wrong with that picture, who does that?
I was so disgusted that I was going to order some supplies from them, I decided not to. I won't give my money to people that say they are there to help but rip someone apart.
When a person calls in asking for help, help them, don't tear them apart, especially if you aren't the type of reader that can sense the larger picture. God knows how many people have been hurt with such harsh comments and little to no tact.
So, I will say, I witness this for myself. I am so happy that in the end, my friend found herself, which is so much more important than what LM offers or sells.
I think it's great that you voice your experience. I know LM has been in business for over 15 years, but really, customers have the right to express their experience and being called "hoodish" is unprofessional and lacking tact, at best. I think it's great you voice your experience.

I agree.
Although I witness this happened to a friend of mine, she does not speak badly about Lucky Mojo. or Airr, at all. This is what I witness. My friend has been a loyal customer for years and I know she has order thousands of dollars in products, I always went over and help her unpack, five to six oils of the same kind, etc.. She never complained about the long wait, has ordered candle vigils from their little Church. She called into their show a few months ago and was treated very poorly. She has graves disease and it does not always permit her to do what she needs to do, such as work, or walk and her husband is also ill with MS. Her Mother passed she was depress for over a year, Miss Cat went after her because she didn't finish her coursework and she was unable to complete something for her ancestors, of course she didn't, her Mother and Mother in Law had passed, she was getting treatment for depression, she couldn't afford her medication for graves diseases.. In fact, she barely got out of bed for over a year, then her husband became very ill, her animals died, I am surprise that she is still standing.
I was so disgusted by how they treated her, telling her she doesn't finish anything, she suffers from depression, who does that, what she has endure, please, I have the utmost respect for her, she made it through. There is no way, after hearing on Air how they spoke to her, that I would ever order from them, after that, no way.. I shouldn't say they, it was Miss Cat that spoke that way.. I couldn't believe how she talked to her, she should have told them that she has several medical conditions but I think she was shocked, I don't blame her, for people that consult you would think that they can sense during their reading, for the record, I have had readings where my reader was able to sense my medical issues, in fact, one reader inform me of my medical issue one year before I even had them, I should have stop drinkiing as was recommended. Lucky Mojo was so busy promoting their products and thier services they forgot it was a person calling them, it's just shocking.

My friend promoted their site and sent her friends to members of Airr and sought help from them. In the end, she found herself, which is even better. She doesn't speak ill of them, but, she hasn't bought anything else from them.
Now she consults with her ancestors so kuddoo's for her and them.
I am sorry that you felt that you were put down, but in the end you spoke your mind and that counts for something.
Just like in the end, my friend found herself, which better then anything they could ever sell or offer.
