    PROS:This type of store is a magic, fortune telling, and spiritual shop type. They are the only store that I saw that sells a ouija board as well. The staff here is very nice and helpful too CONS: This is a good size store but they only allow 4 people in at a time which can cause a line up outside the store. I understand the pandemic is the source of this rule, but a store this size can comfortably fit 10 people OVERALL: I would come into this store but if there is a line, I would just keep walking

    Grieving doll
    Sophie C.

    Look at this gem of a "grieving doll" from this awesome store! Very professional staff, Covid 19 precautions were in effect and in place which is awesome. Friendly staff with great knowledge on each product i inquired about. A great occult store in a great location at the heart of Salem. Highly recommend visiting.

    This place was fun! I got a tarot reading. The guy reading me was very soft spoken so I couldn't hear him. But overall a great experience!

    Gorgeous Crystal Quartz Ring and Pendant
    Jennifer R.

    Love the Cauldron Black. Pickering Wharf is my favorite area. My latest adventure I purchased a beautiful Crystal Quartz Ring and Pendant to help with amplifying Positive Energy. Jewelry in this Salem Shop is incredible. Many local artists and one of a kind pieces. So happy they adhere to Covid guidelines. During the Pandemic i have learned local small business owners do a much better job at trying to keep people safe. I will be back for the hand made Copper and Carnelian necklace.

    This is what you can expect to see at this store... nothing. They will barely let you in and then kick you out at their first opportunity.

    They are rude and not knowledgeable. My fiancé knows more than their employee and they do not care about their customers

    After walking around in the hype and consumerism of Essex street, I found this beautiful magical shop on the wharf.

The staffs here are friendly and answer any questions you may have of Witches and Witchery. They also have Witch Readings. Perhaps they can tell your future and maybe if your ancestries are Witches. 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.

    This is a cool shop that reminds me of some the places I've browsed in the French quarter in New…read moreOrleans. 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!

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.
