I lived in Burbank for thousands of years before moving to Austria, when I come back I always love visiting my old stomping grounds. As a Buddhist/Hindu who practices the REAL shit(as in ALL the aspects of the Gods and Godesses and what they do, yes dummies that means, cursing, crossing etc, if it is TRULY justified) it is hard to find a place that is genuine in their practices and not clique or trendy, to find one in Burbank or hell all of Los Angeles for that matter, sans PansPipes aka Pan's Apothika, Madame Pamita's parlour of wonders, or Doctor E products is like finding gold in a pile of crap, in other words rare. I am Autistic and have tourettes and have many issues with people in general, meaning It's hard for me to be social with anyone adults or kids, Im more of an animal person/my own "kind" aka fellow folks with mental illness like myself. From the moment I stepped into this place it was not just warm and welcoming, but made one feel VERY safe and understimulated. It usually takes time for me to find a place like that. This place like the only other place I mentioned above that works in the genuine traditions of their religions/beliefs.
Since I read some reviews about the owners, and employees I thought Id make some actual reviews about them since I got to know them through out their first opening and such. No I do not PERSONALLY know them I know them as a frequent customer when Im in the US.
Sal: a quirky, fun, sweet and beautiful man, whose jokes even make me an Autistic engineer like me laugh and if you know Autistics we usually take things seriously or have a hard time getting it. He is a son of Godess Hecate, and truly knows his shit when it comes to Kali and hoodoo. He used to be an employee/owner of Pans Pipes back in the day so he brings that experience and aura to this place which I truly appreciate. He can be blunt but it is not due to being mean or negative in anyway.
Popi(I hope Im pronouncing that correctly) Is like Sal a beautiful and kind soul. Helpful and welcoming just like him and her beeswax candles in particular, WOW so much powerful energy. Same with Sal honest which is necessary.
Greg: a badass mofo who is just awesome period.
Becca: how can I say this, BUY HER NECKLACES if you want some protection or anything.
So there is an honest review of The Crooked path. They are not just welcoming they are a breath of fresh air in Burbank. They are Pans Pipes, Lucky Mojo, Haus of Hoodoo, ritual cravft, AIRR etc. all rolled into one!
Also a note, this place like Pans Pipes/Pans Apothika is surrounded by the energy, protection and guidance of Hecate and All of the forms of Kali, so those that write negative reviews here do so because the Gods especially Kali saw through them and saw their negativity. In other words if you come in here with fakeness and a negative attitude, what you receive is your own fault.
