Unbelievable service. Sunday May 23, 2021
I was here with my 18 year old and there was about 5 people in there on a Sunday afternoon.
One seeing the reader and the couple in the store with us.
It was way before 6, here I was looking at the oracle cards they had.. shopping to buy one for my daughter before she goes to college. She's 18, shopping with her because I look young, people generally thinks I'm young or that we are friends.
Anyway, the lady minding the store was having such friendly conversation with the Caucasian couple even tho the guy was being rude and I overheard her asking about his spirit animal and he loudly said he is a butcher and prefers to eat animals & butcher them. He was clearly being rude to her.
But whatever, it's non of my business, even tho it was distracting a bit. I continued browsing through their oracle and tarot cards as it was my intention to teach my daughter a few things before she leaves for college. (Oracle and tarot cards as guide)
She then suddenly came to us and told her they would be closing in 5-10 minutes.
Then straight away said she had to go and close the store because she was getting an IV next door.
But instead of waiting for me to finish discussing what my daughter wanted, she basically kicked us out of there!
She was like " I have to go now. "
How freaking rude!!!
I normally don't think this way, it's not my character but i can't help but think that her behavior towards us was less pleasant because we were not white.
I understand that store was closing at 6pm and it was not 6pm yet so I was finishing my discussion with my daughter.
But what I don't understand is how she treated us, I'm sorry.. but perhaps..
Is it because we are people of color?
My daughter is half black, she shaved her head so it's growing into a Mohawk, she does not look like the normal shopper in this area.. so anyway she immediately was not so friendly with her, and just her approach. Like the other guy on here said.. she could be a bit judgy??? It's hard not to say her energy was a bit discriminating.
Why?
Why is it that she was super sweet to the white couple who had an obnoxious & rude behavior towards her... and yet she literally kicked us out of the store???
I didn't hear her telling the dude he was getting loud and perhaps disturbing to other customers?
I'm so disappointed! As my boyfriend has purchased for me from here in the past.. and he is white! He lives in the neighborhood... I've never seen any of them act this way.
Anyway you call this place a shamans place? Really? Isn't shamanism meant to be a practice of working with good energy to help cultivate within each other for the earth and mankind?? and yet the energy of the woman who was in here on Sunday evening did not send a good vibes at all.
Here's the problem... when men behave in certain ways... be rude.. and I'm sure she would know what I'm talking about.. it's really shifting this and holding them accountable for their behavior and not allowing them to continue.. if you are nice to them they will continue being rude to others, in stores & speak to women is disrespectful ways etc.
And on the other hand, here's my daughter and I genuinely shopping quietly and looking for things TOGETHER & bonding.. who she decided to tell us to leave???
I'm sorry but I can't help but say that perhaps because we are people of color.
What a shame...
my grandmother is a native woman and practiced shamanism since I was Child.. and continue to
Practice this as an adult, passing on to my child... I'm disappointed we were treated this way at a place that calls themselves shamans?
Seriously?
So disappointing!
I scrolled through old reviews.. looks like other people found the service to be rude.. makes me wonder really... what energy she is projecting.
Anyway I believe in Karma. A lot.
It doesn't just take crystals and incense to make you feel elevated, enlightened and be a good person. It takes work IRL and practicing how to work with compassion love and kindness.. although I am upset and disappointed at how we were treated here.. I'm sure the energy in the Ether and beyond knows what is kind and good.
So as a true lover and passion for shamanic healing.. would I recommend this place?
Probably NOT the best place to get our crystals, oracle and tarot cards here... I would not recommend it at all.
There's a nice crystal shop by Point Dume, they are atleast nicer.. also right by Zuma.. there's sometimes a guy with a truck who sells gems and Crystal good pricing. I'm sure if there are other places with genuine authentic people who runs a good solid non discriminatory place,
I wouldn't recommend getting healing tools from here..
I read from a guy in a wheel chair who felt slight similar discrimination vibes.. imagine that!! I hope people recognize things. Hope the owner is aware.. that this is not the right way of customer service and how to treat people. Period.
