Well, I visited his store (Magic Hands) one night, he gave me the same download that was written above and on Tripadvisor. About the aura and my problems and how his necklaces would help… He gave the necklace to take with me and try it… I can pay him later he said. So I took it. Went to my hotel and googled him and found out he told me the same stuff as everyone else. The stone that he calls a Fire Opal from Maldonado is dichroic glass…not an opal….
So I went to him two days after that since the store was closed, to give it to him back. We talked for a long time, then he offered me another pendant instead. Previously he had told me about this other pendant “that I was not ready for until I wore the opal one for 4 months”. But now he wanted me to take it. All of a sudden I was ready for it… This is the baby condor feather one with the seven metals others have spoken about…
I became more and more skeptical, as he talked about all the other people being “Showman not Shaman” but it is kinda his vibe too…
When I gave him the first necklace he took in the back and brought the condor feather one and the opal one, but he switched it…. He told me some of the stones on the back had changed color and that it was working… I checked out and indeed they changed but it was because he swapped it. This is when I lost all faith. It’s so sad that people like that are out there taking advantage of others in the name of spirituality and health… He is very charismatic and sweet, very likable…. Just not a just person…
Also the article above he uses as a reference and shows people. But the info above is different than what he told me… He is Father Zuni and mother Inka, his wife is Inka too… So, this article is helping this con-man get away with ripping people off…
He also states that all the bad reviews people wrote about him are other Shamans and Gringos with Ayahuasca Tours that are trying to make him look bad, since he is good…
So please beware…. Btw the necklaces are $220, would you let anyone walk from a store with a piece that expensive without payment….
One thing I really didn’t like about his “examination” is that he had nothing good to say about me or my aura, he downloaded all this negative things, but never told me the good things, except for my 30% use of energy in my hands, that will be able to develop with his “baby condor feather necklace”
Believe what you want. As a student of Reiki, I have learnt you don’t need all that kind of talismans, all you need is your energy… we all have it, we just need to learn how to use it, a necklace is not going to change your life…

Candy,

I so enjoy your posts because I don’t feel like I’m reading a blog at all. Rather, I feel like I’m reading a book about your life and become totally immersed in your stories! I love your sense of humor and feel like I’m living vicariously through you when I read your entries. Thanks for sharing with us!

Thanks, George! Would you consider re-purposing any of my existing writing? By the way, there are 80 members of the She Writes travel writers group. Would you like me to tell them about your blog?
