Curio, Craft & Conjure
Tucked into the vibrant NoDa neighborhood, this shop acts as a modern cabinet of curiosities for esoteric practitioners and curious wanderers. Shelves are lined with ritual herbs, carved altar candles, animal bones, and custom-blended potion oils.
The story
Most occult supply stores sell plastic novelty props or factory-tumbled quartz imported by the crate. Curio, Craft & Conjure sits on the second floor of a historic building on North Davidson Street with a far more deliberate approach. Founded by mother-daughter duo Gina and Gianna Spriggs, the shop operates as a modern cabinet of curiosities and functional apothecary. Rather than sticking to a single rigid doctrine, they draw from African, Indigenous, Hoodoo, Curandera, and European folk magic, treating earth-based practices not as historical artifacts, but as active tools.
The shelves reflect that practical, cross-cultural focus: custom-blended potion oils, carved altar candles, animal bones, ritual herbs, and smudging supplies sit alongside esoteric texts and tarot decks. Gianna, a practicing Curandera, and Gina run the space as both a supply shop and an educational hub, leading workshops on intuitive candle carving and crystal gridding. Local whisperers even claim you aren't completely alone while browsing—shop staff tell of a quiet, unbothered spirit that walks one step behind visitors as they move down the aisles.
What it's like
Finding Suite C requires heading up the stairs in a historic NoDa building. Inside, the footprint is intimate, smelling heavily of dried herbs and custom oils, with every wall lined in altar tools, loose roots, and crystals. The owners and staff are hands-on and know their inventory inside out, so ask directly if you need a specific spellwork blend or advice on ritual ingredients. Parking along North Davidson Street is notoriously tight on evenings and weekends—you're better off parking a few blocks down a residential side street or taking the light rail into NoDa.
The move: Browse the curated wall of esoteric supplies together and take an intuitive candle-carving or crystal-gridding workshop.
