As the roses come into bloom, we count down the hours to our annual Apprenticeship Week and next weekend's Open House and Workshops. We're all working overtime to make them the best ever!
"The Little Shop Where All Are Welcome"
For those who live locally or make the long trek to our tiny country
town, Lucky Mojo is truly "The Little Shop Where All are Welcome"
because although we are known world-wide as the world's best conjure and hoodoo candle shop, we also carry a wide range of goods that appeal to folks working in any number of spiritual, religious, magical, and shamanic traditions and paths.

 

Lucky-Mojo-phrenology-head-and-skull

This picture is a great example of how we stock our displays. The life-size head shown at center right is a reproduction of a Victorian-era British Phrenology head, used to perform old-fashioned skull and face readings. The numbers on the head are keyed to a legend printed on the back of the sculpture. The phrenology head is modeling a beautiful tribal turban,
made in Turkey. Nestled in front is a flaming skull, something right out of Kustom Kar Kulture. Behind is a dark brown resin wall hanging head of Tibetan Buddhist goddess Tara. Behind that is a jewelry display in the form of an ancient Egyptian Winged Isis from which hang dozens of colourful glass and sterling silver anti-evil-eye bracelets. At the right are the makings for our celebrated line of hoodoo oils -- large bottles of carrier oil at the bottom and cobalt blue bottles of stock formulas for condition oils at top. And finally, at far left is the corner of one of our custom-made Hoodoo Rootworker Doctor's carrying bags.

So browse our Online Catalogue -- and if you wonder what Peruvian love charms have to do with Muslim protection amulets and Southern Style conjure supplies, now you know. We are "The Liitle Shop Where All are Welcome."
