I always love exploring Bewitched in Salem...they have the most unique inventory in town! From the Mystic to the Magical, you can find it all here. Today, I just bought a beautiful statue of St. Michael the Archangel for a dear friend. It is beautifully crafted, and was VERY reasonable in price.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars lol, they deserve so much more than this review and 5 stars. Hands down one of my favorite shops to go to in Salem!! Every time I’ve gone, no matter who’s working, I never felt like I was a bother to anyone by asking too many questions. All their employees are EXTREMELY skilled and educated, and if they don’t know the answer to something, they get the answer elsewhere immediately. They have (in my opinion) one of the best selections of handmade spell enchanted candles and mojo bag supplies, with thought out information about them all. About a month ago I received a soul/spirit reading from Candace, and yesterday (September 13th) received one from Lorelei. Candace was able to channel so many of my ancestors with very little information from me to go off of. Lorelei gave me a tarot reading, did a success and protection spell on me, and gave me a blessed success candle and crystal in a mojo bag. Those two readings will stay close to my heart forever, and I hope to get more done by them in the future!! Anytime I go into the store, the employees make me feel like I’m part of their extended family, and treat me as such, instead of just trying to pump money out of me. So much love and respect from this Connecticut gal!! I’ll be back shortly to get more supplies and another reading ???????? please everyone go to this shop!!!! I promise you won’t be disappointed (and Lorelei’s dogs are absolutely beautiful and adorable)!!

Lori. I LOVE YOU! I had a phone reading with her in May and she was spot on about so many things. Make no mistake- She was BORN into this talent, she is not scamming people or claiming to be something she isn’t. I love how proud she is of her ancestry and her story is truly fascinating. I not only felt a loving connection instantly with her over the phone, but I still randomly think of her and send her love. Now, about the actual reading - she was SPOT ON with specific names of people in my past. So far, Some of the things she has predicted have already come to pass. Absolutely floored by my reading and I have a highly scientific, analytical mind and I tend to be a skeptic — Trust that she is the real deal. lori, I WILL come see you sometime! Thanks for all your healing and love that you give to the world. I will always pray happy prayers for you and honor your soul.

Enchanted

We are a new age/metaphysical store featuring the largest selection of Laurie Cabot handcrafted products available anywhere. We also carry tools, candles, incense, herbs, oils and potions. Reiki and psychic readings are also available.HistoryEstablished in 2013Almost two years ago Laurie Cabot closed her shop in Salem, MA after being in business for 40+ years. At 79 years old, she felt it time for a change. Laurie contacted us about bringing her products to the online market which we gladly did for her with some success. Despite the online sales, Laurie has experienced an emptiness from the closing her retail store. Her friends, customers and fans have also felt this loss. After two years of working with Laurie and her customers, we have decided to move the business into a physical retail store named "Enchanted" in honor of Laurie, selling the largest selection of Laurie's handmade products available anywhere. We are hoping that this new store will help to fill the void both for Laurie and her fans/customers/friends. In addition to product sales, the new store will provide space for Laurie and many others to conduct workshops and classes to pass along the craft.

My husband and I visited Salem for a few days for our anniversary and since there are no shops like this where we live, I wanted to visit as many as possible while I was there. This shop was by far my favorite that I visited. The store had a very peaceful and relaxed energy. They had a nice variety and the prices were also very reasonable. I definitely recommend this shop!

The Cheese Shop of Salem

Reviewed By ThePackedBag - Sydney, Australia

This fabulous shop has all you would want for a picnic, party or fancy dinner. With every cheese imaginable, the experienced cheesemongers will gently guide you along the path of decadence. New to blue cheese? Try Cambozola Black Label, a gateway cheese to get you hooked. The best-seller? Aussie Magic, of course! With a fine selection of organic wine and every accompaniment to the above you can imagine - plus 'Saturday only' gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches – this is a 'must stop and shop' in downtown Salem.
