Do not go to this place!!! Botanica San Miguel is a Santeria Botanica located in Bedford Stuyvesant owned by Santero conman Miguel Rodriguez (his real name). He also goes by other fake aliases such as Juan Ferrera. He is a thief and a rapist. He tries to control their minds with witchcraft (this is a place where witchcraft is practiced after all). He overcharges and steals money and spiritual energy from his customers while sending evil spirits home with them to torment them until they come back and to keep them coming back.
This man is pure evil, he works for Satan. Most people do. Customers say that something digs in their heads and nose until they come back to him, paying him thousands of dollars and then he calls off the demon....maybe. Then he tells them them to bring herbs, eggs, and meat which he bathes them with while sexually molesting and kissing them in the mouth. I am not sure if he does this to men, but I know that he does this to women, he did this exact thing to me.
During the "bath", he rubs you everywhere with the meat, then he pours a mixture of ammonia and Florida water over you, almost drowning you. Now that you are nice and stripped of your spiritual protection, he can work witchcraft on you and control you for however long he wants to. This is how he steals your good energy. Your life will fall apart soon after this. Has this happened to you?
He makes you sick and then charges you thousands of dollars to cure the illness that he placed on you in the first place. Also he keeps the customers clothing in a file cabinet so that he can work on them and entrap them forever.
He also has a ghoul, a helper that he calls "Raffi". He treats her like a dog and sleeps with other women. The worst part is that she knows. When he steals your energy, he gives it to this vampire Raffi to keep her looking good and young so he can stomach her and so that she can keep helping him con women. She is his accomplice and salesperson. This is most likely not her real name. And yes, she knows what he is doing to the women who come and she does not speak, she is on board with his behavior. She is down with everything he does. She gets jealous when he fools around with the female customers but she is a punk, helpless. She just complains to everyone that comes to the shop about how he treats her badly, more conning.
He is a scammer and a rapist but he knows how to steal energy. Also I am pretty sure he is a PIMP. He tries to prostitute the nice looking women that go there for readings and baths. He has even impregnated someone. So if you are a beautiful woman, he will try to kiss you and touch you inappropriately during the reading and try to introduce you to other men or he might decide he wants you for himself, then it will be hell for you. Stay away!!!!!He will not help you!!!!
This is how it works. So you get a reading from Miguel Rodriguez, then "Raffi" works hard to convince you that he is really good and can help you. She is very convincing with her sad sad story of how she was almost dying when she came to Miguel. She tells you that she was so sick spiritually and how he saved her. She will also tell you that he will do the same for you and that he is the best at what he does. He sets his price and she collects the money. The cost is over the top but you will probably pay because your are desperate for spiritual help by the time you are coming to this kind of place. She is very convincing.
They will tell you that you need a bath, you will do it if your discernment does not kick in. What don't you know? Not only will they con you out of your money, he will take your spiritual gifts and light. He will work on you spiritually to restrain you and you will find yourself emptying your bank account to pay him for work that never manifests. He will tell you that you have no faith and that is why the work is not manifesting. It is a spiritual con which is worse than the average con, because he is actually doing spiritual work to trap people and make them sick. This is a crime. It is also a shame that this woman helps him do this to other women. Don't go to this place. I pray that the FBI will come in and investigate and shut this down. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that this place will be shut down, in the mighty name of name of Jesus, Amen. read more
