Ok, I just have to tell you about this little Halloween shop I stumbled into while in Salem,Mass…read more It's seriously so adorable! They have cool stuff including cute clothes/bags/hats w/ fun prints,greeting cards that make you laugh,& even books! The vibe is full of Halloween fun! The staff are super nice & they act like they actually want to be there, which makes the experience even better. I ended up leaving w/ way more than I planned but honestly it's impossible not to. The prices weren't too bad which made it even harder not to buy something.If you're a fan of all things cute and Halloween-y this place is def the place for you!

I go to Salem annually and this is the first time I stumble upon this cute little shop downtown…read more It's full of fun, quirky gifts, candles, décor, and other artsy little things you don't really see in the typical tourist stores. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's fun to wander through: it's perfect if you want a unique gift or a cool souvenir. I would have went on a shopping spree, but many things were a bit pricy.

Insanely overpriced tourist trap with mostly Chinese imports…read more With so many incredible shops in the area, featuring local artists and truly special gifts there's just no reason to ever stop in here again. Little semi-precious stones are twice the price here vs. the far more authentic and esthetic Coven's Cottage right up the street. Candles that cost $16-24 at other shops are over $30 here.

Sammys reading was not only accurate for my life circumstances but very kindly and thoughtfully conveyed. Don't be afraid of getting a reading here! They give you messages to help you move forward. Highly recommend you stop in when in Salem!

Pentagram has a wide variety of books on every version of a magic related topic you could imagine,…read moreand has some very attractive displays. You feel a little transported in time and location. As a newbie to this world, I found the assortment a bit overwhelming, but was impressed by the variety held in a small space. There were even antique / vintage figurines and artifacts for sale in glass display cases. I love all things scented, but want to give a head's up to my fellow scent induced headache/migraine peeps that the incense in this store are very strong, I couldn't spend more than a few minutes in here each time I visited for fear I'd get a headache. I also wish the reading booths had more privacy - they are just closed off by a curtain, and you can hear parts of peoples' readings in certain areas of the store. This lack of privacy was a bit of a turn off for me for getting readings here, personally. They were able to take my friend right away for a reading, though, so getting an appointment in the shoulder season seems relatively easy. I'm told the line for this shop goes down the street closer to fall, so clearly it's beloved, just wasn't the shop in town that most resonated for me.

Trolley Depot is one of the more affordable stores in Salem to shop for souvenirs. A lot of the…read moreshops in Salem are wildly overpriced, especially for T-shirts. They have a nice selection of T-shirts, sorted by size, which made things super easy to find my size. They also have witch hats, which everyone seems to want and have while in Salem, and again, they are affordably priced, whereas others charge $30 or more. This is a really nice shop and definitely a place where you'll find lots of options.

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.

Deceptive service. I booked an appointment with Shalimar over the phone. First, they promised a…read moreZoom reading, but then switched it to a phone call. I am almost certain it was not Shalimar who read my cards, since she has good reviews and the woman I spoke with was completely incompetent. Nothing she said applied to me. I ended the call after 15 minutes--a real charlatan. Don't agree to a telephone reading, because they could have anyone read your cards. Mine sounded like she was just reading from a script.
