Marlon Mayer Raichel  - Fraudster, manipulative con artist masquerading as a spiritual healer. Narrowsburg NY

This is a warning.

Marlon Raichel is not a shaman. He is a con artist cloaked in spiritual jargon, preying on the vulnerable with manipulative tactics, fake mysticism, and zero accountability. I went to him during a difficult time, seeking clarity and healing. What I got instead was deception, emotional manipulation, and financial exploitation.

He talks a big game—claims to have deep spiritual gifts, to “see things,” to “clear energies”—but behind the smoke and mirrors is a deeply dishonest and disgraceful individual who knows exactly how to play people. He took my money, made bold promises, and delivered absolutely nothing. When I started asking questions, he became defensive, evasive, and even tried to gaslight me into thinking I was the problem.

There is nothing sacred about what this man does. His “practice” is a carefully constructed illusion designed to disarm you and drain your wallet. I later learned others had similar experiences—some worse. He has no certifications, no verified training, and no proof of any real ability. What he does have is a slick mouth and a disturbing ability to twist spiritual language into a trap.

He is not just incompetent. He is dangerous. Spiritually, financially, and emotionally. If you're reading this and considering working with him: don’t. Run the other direction.

People like Marlon Raichel give real spiritual practitioners a bad name. He is a disgrace to any tradition he claims to represent, and I sincerely hope this message prevents even one more person from falling into his trap.
