COME VISIT US!

The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. occult shop is located in the relatively small town of Forestville, California. We operate a mail-order business on the world wide web as well as a regular walk-in store for local customers to browse. We have a couple of acres here, and we grow many of our own herbs in our garden.

If you plan to visit Lucky Mojo, make sure to leave yourself sufficient driving time: we are about 90 minutes north of San Francisco or Oakland, and we close at 5:00 pm. To make sure you have time to spend looking around as well as shopping, you'd probably want to get on the road in the morning or early afternoon.

If you have never been here before, please speak right up and say so, and ask for the "ten minute tour." Someone will be glad to show you the layout of the shop. Feel free to ask questions, and we will do everything we can to make your visit enjoyable.

Lucky Mojo is situated in a charming garden setting with a picnic table for the use of guests. We sell cold sodas and fruit juices on the site, and if you ask, we can microwave a cup of tea for you as well. And between shopping or looking around the gardens, don't forget to visit Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, a tourist destination in its own right, which happens to be The World's Smallest Church. Souvenir church fans commemorating your visit are available inside for a voluntary donation.

WILL-CALL SHOPPING

The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. shop 7 days a week from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Everything is hand-made, so you can shop off the shelves, but if we are out of something, one of the lab staff will make what you need on the spot. However, if you are coming here from a distance and are planning a large "annual order" with us, or want to be sure that catherine will be around to meet you, please call ahead and pre-pay for Will-Call Shopping and let Robin or Angela know when you'll be here so cat will have some time to say hello.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL VISITED US

Lefty in his coffin with Florida Water and his dashing bow tie.

We purchased Lefty in 2002 We had his wooden coffin cleaned and refinished with tung oil, then relined it with shimmery royal blue cloth spangled with metallic red stars. If you look closely at the photo, you will see a small bottle of Florida Water at his feet. This is a traditional offering to the spirits of the dead. As you can also see, Lefty is wearing a black bow tie. I put this on him as a festive touch in August, 2002, when we were hosting a party at the shop -- but the next day, when we went to take it off, he let us know that he liked it very much, and indeed, it suits him very well.

Dusty at the Front Door.

We do not operate a conventional downtown-style business in a big city, as you can tell by this photo of the walkway up to the front door of the shop. Instead, our store is up a long driveway at the back of our home property, under a redwood tree. However, just because the shop is off the beaten track, that doesn't mean we are anti-social. Quite the contrary! We love having visitors and shoppers drop in. Also, if you happen to see us driving around Northern California in our lucky and religious themed artcar, the MOJO CAR, be sure to come over and say hello.

Folks are always welcome to drop by the store to browse, shop, or simply talk to us from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. If you have a large order you want filled, it's good idea to phone it in a day or two ahead of your visit if you are driving up from the Bay Area -- we make everything by hand jn very small batches, and we don't want to disappoint anyone by not having everything ready for you if you show up unannounced.

We have achieved Church! Look what sprang up along the path to the shop in 2007! it's MISSIONARY INDEPENDENT SPIRITUAL CHURCH.

Rows of jars line the shelves of the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. shop.

We have about 3500 different herbs, roots, candles, dressing oils and ritual oils, essential oils, incense blends, amulets, books, tarot and cartomancy cards, mineral curios, posters, holy cards, religious statues, soaps, hair care products, zoological curios, and crystal salts in stock at any given time, but if you want particular items custom-made for you, please phone us ahead so that we can put them together in time for your arrival, or be prepared to watch (and even pitch in!) as we prepare your order to your specifications.

We make all of our oils, incenses, sachet powders, and bath crystals on the premises in the old-fashioned drugstore laboratory shown here. The 12 foot tall dark chestnut wood cupboard along the back wall, holding all the jars of herbs, was built in the 1880s. It came out of a demolished pharmacy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the foreground you can see coloured, unscented bottles of almond oil, and on top of them, a row of bottles of the various concentrated essential oil compounds that are blended with herbs and minerals when we make up our spiritual oils.

While you are checking out the shop, be sure to open our hand-made oils and SMELL the goodness inside! This is what makes Lucky Mojo such a special source for spiritual supplies -- each article is hand-made and prayed over, using natural herbs and essential oils, according to an individual and unique formula. No two formulas look or smell the same -- so enjoy the opportunity to select the items that will best serve your situation, while also best pleasing your aesthetic senses.

At right is Sophie the Portuguese Water Dog wearing her Hot Foot Chili Pepper bandana and sitting by the small Chinese painted cupboards in the Candle Island.

We sell retail to individuals and wholesale to shops all around the world, and we count among our customers some of the nations's best spiritual workers and root doctors. Many of the items we carry are unique to us, including our own special moulds for figural candles and amulet jewelry. We specialize in ritual tools for magickal work that are beautiful as well as useful, and we strive for authenticity and the continuation of traditional forms of spell-craft above all else.

If you specifically want to meet catherine, please call ahead for the best times. Cat is usually available in the afternoon, but *not* always on Mondays or Tuesday, due to her other tasks. At those times (or other times), you can count on Robin, Heidi, Greg, Nicole, Angela, Alicia, Eileen, Oran, Elvyra, or Nagasiva to help you.

If you can't come to Forestville in person, and you have a moment to spare while about two dozen pictures load, please:

Sophie the Portuguese Water Dog may bark to signal your arrival, but she is extremely friendly.

Take California State Highway 101 to Santa Rosa, California.

From Santa Rosa, take Guerneville Road west to the end of the road at a 'T' intersection with Highway 116. Turn right (north) on Highway 116 and proceed to the town of Forestville.

As you enter Forestville, the road makes a sweeping uphill left-hander, and at the crest of the hill you'll see Carr's Drive-in on the right. This is the junction of Covey Road and 116.

Turn right (north) on Covey Road and pass between two churches (a large tan one on the left and a small white one on the right).

Cross Center Street and continue for one-half block and on your left you'll see a post with the number 6632 in white lettering on green tiles, atop a larger black-and white sign that reads, "Drive Slowly. Watch for Animals."

Enter the driveway, which is lined with rose bushes, apple trees, and fence posts on which there are nailed abalone shells. Drive to the top of the hill and park by the big old white barn, where an old yellow and black sign says "Customer Parking. Unauthorized Cars Will Be Towed Away."

Walk across on the sidewalk past the red church to the one-storey, grey building (NOT the two-storey house).

Hey! We got visited! The History Channel tv show "Weird U.S." made a pilgrimiage to our shop in 2005 to document its weirdness. Here are some pictures of the event, featuring "Weird U.S." hosts Mark Sceurman and Mark Moran, plus technical crew from KPI-TV.
