I first visited Michael in 2011 after being referred by a relative. I was in a very low place in my life with a lot of uncertainty of where I was heading and I had so many unanswered questions I was battling with. Although I would say I am a spiritual person with faith, I found myself with no hope and felt my life was at a complete stand-still. I was extremely depressed. Many areas of my life were being affected, including my relationship with my partner, my son, my finances, and my future. Initially Michael would not read me, but after talking for a while, he agreed to do so. What I learned in my first reading was amazing. Michael communicates with your angels and ancestors and he tells you “like it is.” He may even tell you things you don’t want to hear about yourself but in reality it is what you “need to hear.” The instructions he gives you to follow help you to make the necessary changes in your life to move forward. Months after my first reading, I found myself to begin to be at peace and to have hope and deeper faith. Since last year, my life has taken a different turn for the better. These days I feel like I am carrying a much lighter load and my life in general is much brighter. I am optimistic and hopeful for my future. I have gone through many productive changes in a short period of time. I have seen improvement in myself, my behavior, and my son. I have deeper faith and I am on the right track for spiritual growth.

I have 22 years of initiation in the Regla de Ocha, Palo, and Espiritismo. I have studied extensively with some of the best teachers in North America and the Caribbean, and I have been very well trained. After speaking with Mike for an hour by phone, I can say without hesitation that he is among the very best Spiritualists I have encountered anywhere in the world. I am not easily impressed by any means, but I am extremely impressed with Mike™s ability to œread and provide solutions to very serious problems. I will say that a spiritual consultation with Mike is the equivalent of consulting with a Harvard-trained surgeon for a medical issue. There are several types of Spiritual readers that offer their services to the public. Sadly, many are outright frauds. Some readers are honest, have good intentions, and have a sincere desire to help but are often inaccurate in their readings and/or ineffective in recommending solutions. Some are good at what they do, but cater only to big-dollar clientele. Mike from Botanica Oggun is in the very rare top 5% of Spiritualists who are not only honest and sincere, but also œscary accurate in their reading. To anyone reading this, I say: If you have any need for Spiritual guidance on any issue you may be facing, book a consultation with Mike as soon as you can. He is everything a Santero/Palero/Espiritista is supposed to be! The only thing that doesn™t make sense to me is the ridiculously low price he charges.
