The Crooked Path — Local services in Burbank

I have read a review hinting that the store owners were not friendly due to them being Latino. This could not be more FALSE. I have been shopping here for years and have never had a bad experience myself being a Latina myself. Store also has a few options for those that are interested in brujeria. Bought a few novena candles and books on mexican folk magic at this shop and when asking for assistance or information on certain items or herbs have always been meet with nothing but friendly and helpful advice and recommendations. This shop is open to everyone from all walks of life and has something for everyone. Ive also attended a few rituals and events that are open to the public and they have always been warm and welcoming to all. Vendors/ participants/ helpers of all races work at these events and rituals including people from Latin descent. To assume that the owners are treating you different because you are Latino without the evidence to back that claim up is the true disappointment here.

I almost never write reviews but after plentiful and meaningful trips here, I felt utterly compelled to. This is the only place I feel secure purchasing from when it comes to supplies for my craft. The selections here are wonderfully extensive and inclusive to all types of magick, so even if you’re just popping in to look around, you’ll find something that peeks your curiosity. Not only are they suitably equipped with their eclectic range of products (herbs, oils, crystals, books, tarot cards, etc.), they’re extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to narrowing down what it is your looking for which can be quite comforting to any newcomer looking to learn more. Sal is such a delight to speak with and so generous in his wisdom that coming to this store is now a must every time I find myself in this area. Such beautiful energy from this...

Reaaaally wanted to like this shop, it's super cool and has a lot of interesting stuff to learn from/about. I was very excited to ask about esoteric stuff that might relate to me but got pretty dismissive treatment, especially compared to the other customers in the store at the time (who were given very thorough and educating rundowns of what they might want to learn about). To be fair, I don't know anything about the occult and probably asked some pretty dumb questions, but considering the phrase 'wokeness' entered the conversation out of nowhere at some point, I dunno... I came away feeling more lectured about my viewpoints than anything (which I never mentioned? I just wanted to know what sort of books I should gravitate towards, nothing the other customers didn't get)

Tl;dr customer service experiences...
