Our Story
Hello and welcome to The Crystal Skull!
We're an occult, esoteric, and fantasy giftware stall run by Vin & Scooby... a colourful pair, and not just our beards!
We have spells, tarot cards, crystals and more, as well as a bona-fide witch, esoteric & occult specialist, and his talented trainee on hand to help answer your questions.

Yes, we're a bit nutty... yes we're cooky... but we're a couple of fun guys who are here to bring you savings.
From humble beginnings trading on pasting tables in fields in all weathers, via car boots and car parks, we ended up at Chorley Market trading outdoors in 2024, and in March 2025 we brought our stall indoors.

Philosophy
Encourage. Teach. Heal.
We believe deeply in all of these values, and they are part of everything we do - right down to the way we treat our customers. We are all on our own journeys, and knowing that brings respect to everything we do.
The Personal Touch
So, we're just people, the same as each of you. Sure, there are some lovely things on our shelves, but you'll find a little dust too!
As a little market stall, we guarantee the personal touch. We can't promise that we'll always have the same coloured beards, or remember your names, but we'll certainly try on the last one!
If you need a chat, or even a hug, we're on hand.
Many of our customers begin as that, but end up as friends.
