Entry No. 46 — the Durango file — filed under: witchy
Light and Lavender Intuitive Energy Services
Suite 1A at 171 E 7th St is easy to walk past twice — the kind of door that only opens if you already know it's there. Inside, the owner reads tarot and natal charts by appointment, runs sound healing sessions, and keeps a tight shelf of ritual supplies you won't find at the gift shops on Main. It doesn't show up in any Durango tourism roundup, which is probably the point.
The story
While Durango's tourist throngs crowd the souvenir shops along Main Avenue, Mashi Salomon operates quietly off the strip at 171 East 7th Street. Light and Lavender doesn't bother with flashy neon signs or brochure racks; Suite 1A sits set back from the sidewalk in a way that lets most passersby stroll right past without noticing it exists. That lack of grandstanding is intentional—this is a place built for people seeking grounded energy work rather than postcard trinkets.
Inside, Salomon offers tarot readings, natal chart consultations, and sound healing sessions, alongside a curated shelf of ritual supplies you won't find mixed in with tourist knickknacks. It's an intimate, unpretentious operation where the focus remains strictly on the work itself—honest, intuitive guidance without the theatrical fluff.
What it's like
Finding the door requires paying attention: focus on the suite number at 171 East 7th Street rather than looking for a large storefront sign. Once inside Suite 1A, the atmosphere is quiet and stripped back, smelling faintly of herbs and lavender. While walk-ins are accepted during standard open windows, Salomon explicitly offers off-hours appointments—so your best move is booking a session ahead of time rather than leaving your trip to chance.
The move: Book a joint astrology consult or tarot reading, then debate the results over coffee somewhere on 7th.
📍 Before you go Suite 1A is a ground-floor unit set back from the street — look for the suite number, not a prominent sign. Walk-ins accepted but appointments are explicitly offered for off-hours sessions; confirm availability before making a special trip.
