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)!!

Our first time visiting Salem and our first excursion was with gallows hill and the ghosts and legends trolley ride. Just jack was an amazing tour guide!! One of the best I’ve seen anyway. We saw many of the sites that bring people to Salem and even learned a little history (in a fun way) there was not one single dull moment on this tour! Highly recommended!!!
