Salem

Also known as: Salem, MA, Salem, Massachusetts, Witch City

An Essex County coastal city of ~44,000 north of Boston — site of the 1692 Salem witch trials, a 19th-century maritime port that produced one of the wealthiest U.S. trading economies, and today one of the densest occult/witchcraft/metaphysical retail clusters in North America. Home to the Salem Witch Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, and a year-round witchcraft-shop economy that intensifies through October's Haunted Happenings season. The directory's Salem anchors are HausWitch Home + Healing (Erica Feldman) and Crow Haven Corner (Salem's oldest witch shop).

What this is

Salem is the principal coastal city on the Massachusetts North Shore north of Boston — the site of the infamous 1692 witch trials and the 19th-century maritime trading economy that made it one of the wealthiest cities per capita in the early Republic. The contemporary Salem identity holds two layers: a serious historic-and-cultural-museum sector (Peabody Essex Museum, Salem Witch Museum, House of the Seven Gables) and a year-round occult-and-metaphysical retail economy that has made “Witch City” an actual commercial cluster.
