About Author
Hello Dr. Richards!
I was contacted by a “priestess” practicing the Yoruba faith, who took time to befriend me and eventually convinced me to partake in a ritual. Part of it was completed only as her requests made me feel uncomfortable. What she did successfully take from me however, was my spirit, my emotions and my conscience. EVERYTHING! I am devastated! I thought the purpose of the ritual was to help and heal me! The main issue now being that (I am Clairvoyant myself) the Orishas have captured my Twin Soul and are holding him captive. Can you help us please! Can you help me in any way, please?! I look forward to hearing from you! Please get back to me as soon as you can! Perhaps you could write something for me? I don’t know but I am highly distressed! Please help us! Please email me!
