Asking questions got me real answers in the form of conversation, not just canned responses in an effort to sell product. The solemnity and respect prevalent throughout the shop showed.

They have so many gifts and souvenirs here. A very interesting store. Feels like you are surrounded by witchcraft and sorceries.

That would be interesting to find out if you are a Witch. Lol. If you are into Witchery or finds the subject of Witching interesting, stop on in. I'm sure you'll find something you like here.

By all means go to Salem in person for a tarot reading BUT …read more.. You don't have to physically go to Salem to have divination with a real Salem witch. And Nick Dickinson is one of the witchiest of witches. And available for readings at The Cauldron Black. I have gone to many different readers, and of course everyone has their different styles, but Nick is my "go to" for divination when I need to cut the crap and hear what the cards have to say. This person has a really impressive background and deep relationship with the tarot and is a talented, masterful reader. My divinations with Nick have been spectacular- on point, clear, WILDLY accurate. You truly do not need to say a lot or give tons of context for your question - he does not seem to want a lot of exposition- so maybe go in knowing what question you want to ask and just let him do his thing. You can book online at The Cauldron Black's website (for VERY reasonable prices btw, especially considering the depth of knowledge and history they have as a reader, wow). He calls on time, no chitchat, keeps it super professional, neutral and boundaried. I am usually offered a choice of decks and he sends a photo of the spread so you can follow along. Also he keeps the reading to time, in a really skillful way. And of course he leaves space where you can ask questions. Kindof a sidebar, but if you have never considered a phone reading as an option: I have found that I really enjoy and appreciate (and honestly might actually prefer) getting a reading over the phone - I can be in my own space, sit at my altar etc. For me, I can be a little more distracted or ungrounded when I'm in public - when I get a phone reading I can just drop in and afterwards do some journaling and thinking and be quiet if I need to... and just kindof digest the divination, which I think helps me to integrate it. If you are looking for a talented, insightful, HIGHLY experienced reader I could not recommend Nick Dickinson more wholeheartedly.

There are so many witch/occult type stores in Salem, do yourself a favor and go to ANY other place…read morethan this one. I went there to get my son some gems, which he was really excited about. It seemed like a cool new place I could take him. The woman working there made the experience awful. She acted like she had never seen a toddler before in her life, and was hovering, cold and rude. One of the glass display cases had been left open, and my son was (under my direct supervision) looking through some of the rocks on display, when she rushed over and said to not touch anything without permission, and closed the case and locked it... no "can I help you"? or "any questions"?... just a frigid, angry vibe. I mentioned that the case had been left open by someone else (obviously her since it seemed to require a key), indicating that it was ok to browse. she didn't say a word in response. I had the distinct feeling she was watching us, and after a few minutes she came over to ask if I wanted her to "hold onto" the 4 rocks/gems my son had picked out, while we looked around... in a tone that suggested she was worried he would either do something nefarious with the gems, or we would steal them. Then when I was in the middle of making our purchase, my son was looking at this rock wind chime looking thing, being totally respectful and gentle. She took it right out of his hands. So If you like cold, uninviting shopkeepers that don't respect your children's personal space and snatch things out of their hands, by all means visit The Calderon Black!

It's upscale voodoo with a touch of new age hipster with Greek statues and a large room for formal seances On this visit to Salem and browsing the shops we stumbled upon this place and #1 son (Matt O. - Pittsburgh) and decided he needed to get a tarot card reading! He wasn't disappointed, because according to him, his reading was with David and was the best! He helped guide him on a path that he thought beneficial to go down, and he was very glad he went. It's to be noted that different psychics have different skillsets and strengths and offer to help you with individual needs. In addition to card readings, they do chakras, past life regressions, and more. But wait, this is a tourist kinda area so this is also a cool store for some of the less common items. I almost bought a really cool statue of the goddess Freya, but my honey said no, as well as some nice protection candles. Very unique and cool atmosphere with a neat vibe. (Do I sound really old here LOL) All the staff was quite nice as well. Note on psychics: I know the whole psychic thing is not for everyone, but Matt loves to get tarot readings and several of our presidents consulted with them over the years. The word "Psychic" is derived from the Greek word "psychikos" which means "of the mind or mental". The origin of Psychics though dates back to ancient times. And the earliest account of the use of Psychic powers was seen in the Bible. For example according to Book 1 Chapter Number 9 in the bible, the biblical character Samuel is asked to find donkeys for the future king Saul.  There are also examples in ancient Egypt where priests of Ra at Memphis acted as psychics in the guise of a seer. So it's not a new idea and psychics are cool for those that choose to seek their counsel. Bottom line: If you are so inclined I recommend coming here if you are ever in Salem!

An interesting store. Something I struggled with in Salem was a lot of the high commercialism of…read morewitchcraft I experienced. I found the energy here a bit overwhelming and at times catering to tourists, which wasn't quite the experience I was seeking as someone who has a deep spiritual practice. My mom had a great tarot reading here with a witch close to her age and said it was a wonderful experience. I wasn't a part of that experience so I'm a bit limited in commentary there, but I'm thrilled she was happy. The reading was done in an very small booth-like setting behind a curtain right against the hustle and bustle of the store (if you're an empath or claustrophobic, be forewarned that this can be very overstimulating). This felt unusual to me since I'm used to tarot readers needing energetic space and room to focus. OMEN has a fabulous selection of books I could have looked at all day. I'd love to come back to this store sometime not in the fall and see if my experience feels different. I adored the tarot artwork in the back of the shop and the nice selection of tarot and oracle decks.

From the moment I set foot in the city of Salem, I knew that staying in Boston was a mistake. Salem…read moreis a cultural hub of art, history and culinary traditions. Chief among them is Pentagram. It is a shop that is unapologetically itself. The incredible layout of the store has the air of a medieval apothecary and yet maintains an openness to anyone with a curious mind. Everyone who works there has an immense knowledge of both their store and the local area. The psychic readings are an absolute must (Chrissy in particular is an excellent guide into the art of divination). Is it more expensive than a street reading in your home town? Yes, but the reading is worth every penny. There is a wide variety of books from around the world and different practices if you're into that. As an experience however, I'd argue that this shop is as unmissable as any museum or tour. In the state of Massachusetts, Salem is the place you have to see, and while you're there, stop by Pentagram.
