This poster "sweet red", as with many others on Rip Off Report, is a spam or sock account of a woman who goes by the name of Mambo Odette, a racist ignorant woman who seems to thrive on trying to discredit the reputations of others. There is little value in anything that she says, however, I am sick of seeing her lies bandied over this forum and so have decided to state the truth of these matters in this public forum.
Odette says "Liam claims to be a priest in Palo or Santeria, but they don't scratch or make priest of homosexuals in Palo or Santeria." I do not claim to be a priest of Palo, however I am an initiated Oloricha/Santero [Priest] of Santeria. Although Palo Mayombe does have certain restrictions regarding what initiations homosexual men and woman can receive, the same is not true in Santeria/Lukumi. Any person chosen by the Oricha [the Spirits served in Santeria/Lukumi' can be crowned a priest in that religion.
Odette goes on to say: "Kiwi Mojo is a SCAM WEBSITE, set up to make money by a fake priest and his husband Alistair Richard-Howes." Again, this is incorrect. Kiwi Mojo is a website dedicated to education of the African Diasporic Religious Traditions in the Southern Hesmisphere, and by extention allows people to access the tools of the Spirits, be they through divination or magical work.
Finally Odette says: "Liam has NO POWER. He is a fake! BEWARE and keep your money in your pocket. " ... I encourage people who would like to know the truth to contact us directly. Our contact information is freely available on our website, as is our lineage and initiatory history. Our initiations have been validated and we are happy to provide what information is necessary for that. We also encourage you to read through our testimonials for those interested in knowing our success as diviners and spiritual workers.
Finally, we pray that Odette herself find some peace so that she no longer feels the need to harras other practitioners in this way. We are not the first to be attacked with these same allegations, nor do I believe we will be the last, but we do recommend that all people educate themselves, do google searches, check testimonials, training, everything before investing your money with any practitioner. You should not get ripped off, and should endeavour to protect yourself from that.
Lape Bondye avek nou - May God bless us all
