Because I call myself ChristoPagan I am not even being given the time of day. I was subject to criticism scrutiny and rejection without any provocation. I was not "tested" to see if I can actually do an accurate reading just grilled on what I believe. I do not proselytize at people; I am not a "fundamentalist;" I do not support Trump! etc. Not only that, but a reader who has been working there for years that I know very well who doesn't believe in feminism or women's rights much denied that we know each other and did not give the endorsement I was hoping for. I have CPTSD from all four forms of abuse which automatically disqualifies me from having any kind of legitimate "gifts" I guess. Terrible service, support and customer care. Definitely do not recommend.

There are a few stairs to get in, I think there is a ramp but I did not see one for sure. There was a hand sanitizer and the owner was wearing a mask. Wonderful. Thank you! I dont know t too much of this kind of stuff so basically , I'm a tourist with these sorts of things but I feel the staff I was with on both visits were very welcoming and open to questions . First visit I got some nice soaps with different properties and a really nice face mask for my wife that was locally made. Second time my wife came and she got a sticker for a fun tray I've been working in and a sacred feather and smudging sage. Such a warm and inviting place. We were welcomed right away both times and were a little older , and we were treated with kindness and respect. They have all manner of "new age" alternative goods. Crystals, sage, jewelry, Wiccan good, decor , local craft. Soaps . Incense. Ceremonial goods. Just beautiful things. I say check it out. Support local and support alternative.

These 2 things easily take up half of the floor space. They also have bulk spices of every flavor and color. These are self-serve and are weighed at the front desk. My friend came here looking for a weird and somewhat rare Szechuan Peppercorn that makes your tongue numb (without burning it). And they actually had it in the bulk spice area! Finally, there's a myriad of weird salt lamps. Interesting. -Daddy Maxx Retro

Goddammitt, raise your prices a bit more; or look upon the charges as a Customer aqquisitin cost. Who carries cash anymore?

Where do I even start?!…read more I should start by saying the owners of Mississippi Flavor Company are incredible people with the highest standards and passion for their brand. Second, my cabinet is filled with these seasonings. I don't want to use any other brand ever again! My personal favorite is Maui BBQ. Third, they have a seasoning for everything from baking blends, burgers, tacos, chicken.. etc. Fourth, they are a veteran-owned business. Lastly, I love that they are a locally owned business. Supporting small local businesses is so important, especially these days when it's easier to reach for big corporate brand products.
