To: alt.religion.orisha,alt.magick,alt.lucky.w,alt.magick.tyagi From: Eoghan BallardSubject: Re: Hoodoo Drug stores Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 10:16:23 -0400 Hi, If you check the archives, you'll note that Harry's used to be at 1711 South Street until about 15 years ago. It also has gone quite new age in the last 5 years or so. Rick's (not Rich) started life as Botanica La Milagrosa on North Fifth Street where Rick still has a botanica. He does a mixture of rootwork style services and of course palo and Ocha both of which he is an initiate. He has a website and also does a wholesale business to other botanicas. Harry's is more interesting historically than in it's present condition. If you dig up the archives of Philadelphia papers, you will find over the past two decades a couple of fairly decent articles on Harry's going into the history of the family business. I've mentioned some of it in passing here before. While I have always been fascinated by Harry's, I cannot say that service there has ever been a charm and since it has gone largely new age I find little reason to go in. Rick, it is worth noting is quite honest. I have seen him tell clients to go seek other kinds of help when that was warranted. Eoghan
