Why Do We Eat Each Other Alive? (Rant + Shop Update)
I've been told that I'm to “new” to my spiritual journey to open a store. I've been told that asking others what they would appreciate in a store is an unacceptable form of market reaserch.
When did it become okay to look down on others practices? This dog eat dog mentality is exactly why most hoodoo shops are no longer owned by POC, we attack each other instead of uplifting.
I also feel like pricing is a huge reason why LM is so prolific but you have to search for ages on etsy to find an affordable Black-owned hoodoo shop. If my money is short why would I spend $15+ on a bottle of money drawing oil?
And now for the update Ever Oils and Curio Co. is still rolling out in early November. Everything will be under $30. Fixed candles will be around $10, oils $8, and herb mixes and powders will be between $3-5. The most expensive things will be mojos and mojo candle burning combo packs.
I want my store to be a safe and affordable place for broke college student, single parents struggling to make ends meet and anyone who's been wanting to practice but hasn't had the financial means to.
I get it. I've been there. I've got you.
