The Enchanted Fox
Three women — a shamanic healer, an Indigenous tarot-deck artist, and an herbalist — ritually cleansed a 37-year-old pawn shop in early 2026 and turned it into a 900-square-foot community ritual hub where you can buy owner-crafted candles and hand-pulled tarot decks on a Tuesday and then tip tables with strangers on a Thursday.
The story
For 37 years, 2636 Colorado Avenue was a neighborhood pawn shop dealing in secondhand goods. In early 2026, three local practitioners—shamanic healer Kelly Smith, herbalist Shay Koloff, and Indigenous artist Lalania Simone—ritually cleansed all 900 square feet of the space, cleared out the residual history, and turned it into a community ritual hub. You won't find mass-manufactured novelty crystals or plastic trinkets here; the space is built around practical, hand-crafted folk tools and living tradition.
The shelves are stocked almost entirely by the owners themselves. Smith brings her nationally recognized Twin Moon Magick line of hand-poured ritual candles and oils, Koloff crafts custom botanical tinctures and loose-leaf teas under Zenith Moon Co., and Simone provides hand-pulled tarot decks and original artwork. Beyond retail, it functions as a working classroom for spellcraft, Akashic Records readings, and DIY incense or tea-blending workshops during Old Colorado City's First Friday Art Walks.
The store's real draw is its hands-on community sessions that you rarely find in standard metaphysical shops. Instead of keep-your-distance commercialism, they host weekly table-tipping gatherings—a physical mediumship spiritualist practice where you sit with strangers and let a wooden table tilt under collective energy—alongside monthly drumming circles. You didn't hear it from us, but if you want to test a date's open-mindedness, sitting down to tip tables in a former pawn shop on a Thursday night is about as reliable a litmus test as it gets.
What it's like
You'll find the storefront tucked into the historic brick row of Old Colorado City between larger storefronts, so keep your eyes peeled for the sign or you'll walk right past it. Inside, the under-1,000-square-foot room is compact and fragrant with dried herbs and beeswax. You can drop in casually during standard daytime hours (roughly 11am to 7pm) to buy loose herbs, talk with the owners about custom tea blends, or pick up a deck. However, table-tipping, drumming circles, and guest-led workshops run on specific evening schedules. Park in the free public lots hidden behind Colorado Avenue to avoid metered street spots, and check their schedule online before heading over since event days flex while the hub settles into its groove.
The move: Show up for a weekly table-tipping session, browse handmade tinctures and one-of-a-kind tarot decks made by the owners themselves, then linger for the monthly drumming circle — it's the kind of date that either brings you closer together or reveals incompatibilities worth knowing about early.
📍 Before you go You'll find it on the main Colorado Avenue strip in historic Old Colorado City, the walkable district of brick-front shops, galleries, and cafes west of downtown. It's tiny — under 1,000 square feet in a former pawn shop — so look closely or you'll walk past it between bigger storefronts. Park at a metered street spot (the district uses the ParkMobile app) or in one of the free public lots tucked behind the main strip, then explore on foot. The browsing is walk-in, but the table-tipping sessions and monthly drumming circle run on a set schedule, so check ahead and time your visit — days and hours shift while the shop is still new. Easy to pair with a meal or a wander down the avenue afterward.
