46% off any one item of your choice!

Restocked Merchandise!

  • Beeswax candles, including cinnamon heart tea light tins and sculpted floral heart pillars!
  • Many varieties of stones and crystals, including amethyst and rose quartz.
  • Tarot and Oracle decks
  • Books, books, and more BOOKS!
  • Shoyeido incense — including Shoyeido Baika-ju plum blossom incense. 😍 The smell is warm, comforting, sweet and slightly spicy, and so inviting. It is a great everyday incense, and really makes a room or altar space feel cozy. There are 150 sticks in each box.

General updates:

1. We are restocking as quickly as possible; however, continued shipping delays and manufacturing disruptions due to COVID, make that slow and challenging. Feel free to call us at 252-758-7656 to check if we have an item in stock before driving out to us. Thank you so much for your patience!

2. You may notice at times that when you arrive to our door we have a sign up that says we will be back in a short amount of time. In order to maintain social distance among our employees, we are limited to one person running the entire store at one time, so we occasionally have to lock the door when a personal break for restroom, lunch or water without a mask. Though we know it is an inconvenience, please trust that we will be back as soon as we can (and usually sooner rather than later.)

We appreciate any help, in the form of not entering if you can see that there are many people in the store, and making sure your masks are already on properly when you come in the door.

3. As COVID cases continue to rise, we are still keeping strictly to our 6 customer limit in store at once, and masks are to be properly worn by every customer age 5 and older. Children who are able to walk independently around our store do count towards the customer limit, so please be mindful when bringing your children to visit. We are still asking that you *please* extend courtesy to others who may be waiting in the winter weather, and limit your visit to 15 minutes or less — even if you had to wait quite a while yourself to come in.

4. Care packages are now discontinued for the time being! We have run out of the necessary packaging. We are still able to fill regular packages to shop, but we will not be able to do them in the “surprise box” format.

Thank you all for your patience, and cooperation as we support our safe and healthy survival throughout this pandemic. Happy and hopeful days are on the horizon!

Blessings,
The Sojourner Staff

The Sojo Now Re-Opened 7 Days a Week

Hello Sojourners!

We are now re-opened to serve you all seven days a week from 12:00-6:00 pm, meaning that we are now opened on Sundays again! We are so grateful to our wonderful and loyal customers for your continued business, and your excellence in protecting our health during your shopping experience these last few months. Thank you! We are restocking with new and exciting merchandise, as we are able. Come see the new selection of metaphysical books, and Black Lives Matter and Pride stickers!

We remain committed to all of our safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sadly, this health crises will not go away any time soon, and so we forge a “new normal” together. Readings and classes are canceled for as long as masks are necessary in-doors. We have a tiny, tightly packed store where social-distancing is a challenge, so we will maintain strict Covid-19 safety protocols for the long-haul. (see below)

Please note that the shop is under 24 hour security camera surveillance, we are recording every nook and cranny of the store, and we do prosecute thieves to the fullest extent of the law. Honestly, steal magickal merchandise from witches and the police will be the least of your worries. Think about it.

COVID-19 Protocols:

  • If you have fever or any Covid-19 symptoms, please do not enter the store. Curb-side delivery is available if you call us with your order in advance, and pay via credit card over the phone. 252-758-7656 (SOJO)
  • Extra sanitizing will be completed every morning prior to opening at noon. If you’re high-risk, consider visiting from 12:00-1:00.
  • We’ll serve less than 6 customers at a time in the store. You may be asked to wait outside until someone inside completes their purchase. Please be conscientious as you shop as quickly as possible.
  • Masks are required for entry, and must be worn properly over both the mouth and nose. Staff included.
  • Disposable paper masks provided as needed, but we encourage you to wear your own reusable cloth mask everywhere you go, in accordance with the NC mask ordinance.
  • Because everything in our store wants to be touched, we also provide disposable gloves and hand-sanitizer. Is this over-kill? Yup. We mean to over-kill this virus into non-existence.

Washable Cloth masks available in two styles, $1 and $4.

The Sojourner’s business mission is one of community service. We build strength through unity of marginalized people, lifestyles, and spiritual traditions, in defense against the rampant toxicity in the patriarchy. We are founded upon loving interconnection, here to empower your good health and pursuit of happiness.
 
Sadly, our capitalist society is rigged for injustice.  A corporation is a private legal entity able to set and enforce it’s own rules.  Sometimes that works in the favor of hateful cretins who are hell-bent on discrimination. Example: Bigot bakers refusing to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples.
 
In our case, this works in the favor of our loving ideals of responsibility and inclusion. On the grounds of The Sojourner Co. Inc., we insist that everyone we serve does their part to protect our staff and at-risk fellow shoppers from spreading a terrible disease. Our Sojourners are intelligent and conscientious people. If you refuse to follow our rules, are even SNIDE to our staff, you are clearly NOT a Sojourner, and so you will be asked to leave. FULL STOP.  Welcome to our matriarchy. Thank you again for being awesome, staying safe and healthy, and shopping with us this summer.

See you around the Sojo!
~Heron Michelle

Sojo Provisional Re-Opening Starts May 8th

Sojo Pride Bumper stickers free with purchase while supplies last!

Merry Meet, Sojourners!

As of Friday, May 8th, we begin a provisional reopening of our doors. For safety, we’ll serve less than three customers at a time, Wednesday-Saturday 12:00-6:00 pm. We can also take phone-in orders and still deliver them to your car when you arrive. To celebrate, free Sojo Pride bumper stickers with purchase while supplies last! The shop is loaded with beautiful new items, especially nice for Mother’s day or new graduates. We’re happy to wrap for you.

Masks covering the nose and mouth are REQUIRED. Plastic gloves and hand-sanitizer will be provided.

If you still need a washable cloth mask, we have a supply here donated by a generous local maker. They are free to those in need. (And if you are a maker of cloth masks, we’ll happily help you distribute them!)

Please maintain 6 foot distance while in the shop, and consider leaving small children at home. Children also must be masked and gloved. If they can’t be safely gloved, they must be held at all times. We all know how well that would go, so best to leave them home for a while, as possible.

Anyone appearing to have COVID-19 symptoms, or who are disrespectful of our safety requirements, will be asked to leave. Please be nice to us, we’re doing our best to serve your needs, while protecting our own health and the health of our families.

Please be considerate and responsible out there in the world. We are all in this together, keeping each other healthy.

~Sojo Team
