Trip to Lucky Mojo

My art partner, Deb, and I made a journey up the highway to Forestville, California, where a strangely wonderful little shop is tucked away along the trail to the Russian River. Selling potions, candles, incense, amulets, it fed our imaginations, and I learned about the history of the evil eye and why it is associated with the color blue. As a blue-eyed divil meself, I reflect on how so many traditions have a deeply cultural bias and why we must constantly question our assumptions.
