Salem is such a beautiful community. I love how people can feel quite comfortable no matter your spiritual practice, gender identity or sexual preference. Living in Salem was a really good time for me as far as getting comfortable being myseld.
It is a wonderful community, and anyone I've ever met there was super nice. 😊
Sssss thanks tell my beautiful salem
I live an hour away from Salem and have spent my life "growing up" with it's influence! As kids we made school field trips into the historical sections, touring places like The House of the Seven Gables or the Witch House. When in my 20's I toured some of the more touristy spots about the witch trials and walked around Pickering Wharf, which was quite different back then. More tourists, lots of artisan shops and antique stores. Now it is definitely more witchy! Later I discovered Essex street and started visiting several times a year. After a while I made a lot of friends with the store owners and workers and there is a wonderful open community, always someone to chat with, share and feel comfortable talking about our paths. Salem is well known for three things: The Maritimes (being once the biggest port on the east coast), The Witch Trials, and historical figures like Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Witchy Community is only one aspect of it, but it is a strong and vibrant one! Glad you enjoyed the shops, though, especially the Marble Faun (with all the Victorian things, jewelry, etc.) Hope you get back there soon to enjoy!
PS yeah, all stores close around 5:00-6:00. WILD considering their audience and customer base are witchy people of the night! Makes me sad too ;(
I love virtual shopping trips!
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
That tea and herb store i could live there. I love herbs. You cant ever have enough. My bucket list is Salem.
Oh my god! You’re a plant lover and into witchcraft. You may be my new favorite youtuber! 🙌🏻
Yay! Glad to have you join my little RUclips family 😊
I love how witch's have reclaimed Salem in the modern day 🖤
What a fun day trip! I was going to ask if you ever go to Salem. My favourite witchy vacation destination is Glastonbury, in the UK. It's the place of the Lady of Avalon in the Arthurian legends, and the vibe there is so sacred, mystical and goddessy. I was blessed to go with my friend Alexandra one summer, and we climbed the Tor, which is a small hill said to be the earth's heart chakra. On top, there's an old ruin of a bell tower, and wheel that points out all the ley lines, which intersect there. (It's situated in the cross point between places like temples in India, the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, etc.) Glastonbury also has the famous Chalice Well, said to have healing properties. The water that comes out is reddish in colour because of natural iron ore deposits, and the local pre-christian legends link it to the moon cycle of the goddess Mother Earth. There's an underground cave with the well's opening, and it's one of the most spiritual places I've ever been. The huge pool of water is crystal clear and super dark- perfect for scrying- and many little sub-caverns have been painted with murals of different goddesses from various world religions, where the local pagan community burn candles and incense to their ishta-devis. (I spent a while with Kali there, and felt her presence as strongly as in her temples in India.) I really hope to go back there again some year, and recommend it to everyone! And as a correlated book recommendation: The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley! She tells the story of all the witchy women in the Arthurian lore from a very mystical but realistic perspective. I've read it twice, and won't let myself read it again until my 40th birthday, so it'll be fresh again.
I have heard if there and it has been part of my "witchy travel list" lol. But you described it in such a way that makes me want to pack up and go now. (Unfortunately not possible with today's situations) thank you so much for sharing and I hope you get to go there again someday. 💜💜💜
@@ElenaEnchanted It's so worth the trip! Also, the townsite has tons of mystical shops, a lot like the ones in this video. :) I bought a pendulum there (even though it was wickedly overpriced, lol,) and it's one of my favourite travel souvenirs ever. :)
I also have to make my way to Salem! You got so many goodies!! & What a cute outfit!
That cup was “purrrrrrfect” 😂🤗
Thank you!! 😊
What a great shopping trip !!! I’d love to go to a place like that, but not Salem. The energy there is so sad, and you’re absolutely right, the spirit there seems forced and not free flow from a good place. It’s ironic that witches were burned at the stake for being a witch, but now Salem is the biggest tourist place for witchy items. That’s sad for this Crone who’s grandmother was a Garden Witch and whose great grandmother was an Ecclectic Witch and told me about the Salem Witch Trials. It was so sad that because of someone’s way of living would bring death to them. Love your channel and your haul is amazing. I’m so glad you had such a great time and are so in tune with the spirits. That will keep you safe in this world in so many ways. Blessings and peace to you my siSTAR !!! 🔆💕💫🧚🏽♀️🌹🪴🪔
Omg I love Salem! I lived there for almost 3 years. I always wanted to really start my practice while I lived there but I held myself back but now I am really diving in so I cant wait til my next chance to get to Salem to do some SERIOUS SHOPPING
That's awesome! Shopping trips are always fun. 😄
I really enjoyed this video the tour I always wanted thank you.
I love all of your purchases, especially your tea mug and spoon with that chocolate mint tea, so yummy! I am excited for you. Such fun! Oracle Cards are wonderful to work with. I have a Goddess set.
I’m planning to travel to Salem for a few days soon and I’m so excited! Seeing your vlog makes me look forward to it even more. As a witch and someone who dresses alternatively it looks like I’ll be more comfortable there than any place I’ve been before. I think I might cry 😂 good tears! My bank account will be much lighter after I visit though 😂 Wonderful video!
I hope you have lots of fun!
Love the necklace. I love my teas too!!
Yay! Another tea lover :)
my husband and I spent about 4 days in Salem during our honeymoon in 2013. We fell in love with it and considered moving there until that winter there was a massive snow storm along the east coast and Salem and parts around it were under so much snow and shut down. I don't do that much cold.
I would love to visit Ireland, UK, Iceland and Greenland, and those surrounding areas.
Oh yeah, these areas can get quite a lot of snow. Hopefully you'll get to explore some other travels soon.
I grew up in Massachusetts, and lived all over, the last town being Taunton. I miss just being able to get in my car and take a quick trip to Salem!
For me its a few hours drive, but hello to another fellow MA person 😁
Great video 📹 your so sweet! I go to Salem every Halloween 🎃 love it
The devils dozen,black toad,keys of solomon is a good start. Even though the keys of solomon consists of 4 or 5 books; light reading😆
I really love your channel! 💜 You are so positive and it's refreshing!!! I love the content too!
Thank you thank you!!! I'm glad you're enjoying it 😊
I love Salem. I’ve been a couple of times. I know a lot of people say they don’t like it because of how touristy it’s become but that didn’t bother me at all. Great video 🖤
Also, idk I felt intense energies near certain places but they were away from the busy areas. The B&B I stayed at was near the House of Seven Gables, was one spot. The B&B, my room specifically, was giving off unnerving vibes. Idk I didn’t sleep well there 😂
It wasn't too bad in the touristy area this time we went. (Covid and all) but we also didn't get to see a lot of the places. Im definitely interesting in going there again and doing more of a historical site visit. Definitely visiting Danvers (the real salem village that changes its name) thank you for sharing your experiences 😊
I love your energy in this video. Hope I'll visit Salem soon
Thank you! I hope you do as well 😊
In the video at 7:20 my favourite witchy book is called the good spell book I’m actually almost finished it and it’s a really good book
Literally its one of the places id love to visit in the US
It is a really good place for some witchy shopping!
First off that necklace is gorgeous. And the book recommendation I highly suggest getting the witches Almanac if you don't already get that it's made by the same people that did the spell a day book that you purchased but they also do one with sabbats that's really good to have as well
Im excited to wear that necklace. And I'm heading over to Amazon to get the book. 😁
The new one should have just came out for 2021. Its very nifty.
Thanks for sharing your shopping experience. :-) I'm going to get there one of these days.
You're welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Such an amazing vlog! It’s my dream to visit Salem one day and this video only made that dream stronger 😁 thank you for uploading this video 🥰
You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I went to Salem like 6 yrs ago, loved it :)
Wow I've enjoyed every second with you
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it 🥰
Salem looks so amazing o: and that necklace is gorgeous!
It was a very fun trip, thank you 💜
One if my dream vacations is Salem! I wanna go to the roots of alot of practioner things! I live near Cassadaga Florida where there are tons of witchy things and there's even a camp lol!!! One of my favorite areas to go! Especially the flea market that opens close to it!💙
I’ve been to Cassadaga at least 2x when I lived in FL ! Such a peaceful energy there 😊
I live right around Salem and visit almost every weekend
Lol. it's an insult to the victims who died trying to defend their innocence.
I really enjoy the “Little Bit Of _____” series. There are so many topics and the books usually just really get me intrigued, and I’m not much of a reader. One of my friends also really enjoy the series.
I'll have to check that out. Thank you 😊
Great vlog! I've always wanted to go to Salem. Loved what you got! We have the same mug! My fiancé got me the mug as a gift. 🖤🤍🖤
Thanks so much! Now we're mug buddies 😄
@@ElenaEnchanted haha yes ! Mug buddies ☕️☕️
I love visiting salem. I can't wait to go again hopefully fall this time. Summer is a great time to go almost zero wait lines. Plus Summer has a whole different vibe waking up to the smell of ocean side and sound of seagulls awesome. Good vid. There's so much to do; some people like witch museum but personally I'd skip it. Yes it covers the history but you can get that in other tours. I recommend witch walk lead by a practicing witch. Many visit only 2-3 days. It took me and a friend at least 2, 7day trips to get the most. I find historical sites like proctor ledge(witch hanging) site and cemetery in salem must go to areas. You could easily make vids to best stores,places to eat, and places to go in salem. I was clueless my first time. I suggest trolley as one of the first things to do for your first visit as well as do your research for what you want in your trip.
Hello Elena. I live in Canada and have never been to Salem, but would really love too. I would also love to go to England and Wales where my Father was from and Scotland and Ireland.🌛🌕🌜
I’ve been to Salem once. I didn’t get a very spiritual vibe. I think it’s because they tried so hard to separate themselves from the witch trials. Cementing in the historical sites and just building over them. It wasn’t a bad vibe there either.
Not like out on the plantations in New Orleans where the evil was thick. Downtown New Orleans was fun and had no bad feel to me, just out on a few of the plantations.
The museum in Salem was pretty cool.
I am sensitive to residual energy though.
I'm happy you understand about salem. But isn't it fascinating how so much energy can be left behind even after years and years? That always amazes me.
The real Salem witch trials happened in the town next door, Danvers. No one really knows about this unless they’re local ;) anyway, everyone over there is miserable because they’ve got no fun downtown life and everyone works boring corporate jobs 😂😂
@@TheStitchWitchPodcast yep you’re right! At the time at the trials Danvers was called “Salem village” though
I feel exactly the same way about Stonehenge, despite the hype I found the energy weak, it actually saddened me. I put it down to the fences and high ticket prices. Tourism does little for maickal energy. We have an active pagan circle hidden in the woods nearby and wow that place is alive!
My girlfriend and I are planning on going in September/ early October. We can't wait to see everything and explore. We're both practicing Witches that currently live in South Carolina and are planning to relocate to Salem in the next year or so. *Also, Ramen is my favorite.*
I had a pair of boots I got that looked like the ones you coveted that I got for like $20 once in Ebay. I used the search term “granny boots” and found them that way . 😊
Oooooh! That's a smart place to look for a pair. Thank you for the tip!
Love this Video Sis!!! 🌹🥰❤️
Thank you 💜💜💜
Love the video!
Thank you!! 💜💜💜
Wow I just can't believe that there were actually 180 Witches out of 200 (except 20 innocent people)🎃Boo...
What a great haul! I don't know where you are in MA, but if you've never checked out Ashland Reiki and Wellness center in Ashland, MA, please do! Don't let the name fool you! It's a truly magical shop! I visit it often!
Blessings!
If I'm ever in that direction, I'll try to check it out. Thank you!
New Orleans is definitely a mystical convergence!!! I can't wait for my husband and I go on our delayed honeymoon there
I've been there, and the energies feel a lot different than anything I've experienced so far. You'll love it!
These stores are so nice! I'd go to Salem myself if I could. :)
Nice??? this is blatant insult to the victims wrongfully accuses of witchcraft in 1692.
The victims must be turning in their graves
Love this! My cousin went on a girls weekend for Halloween. She wants to go back when covid isn't affecting all the fun, she still loved it though.
I'm glad she loved it!
I lived in Maine and Rhode Island to name a few places but Salem wasn't;t too far out of the way since Mass was just on the border so I was always in both states. I haven't been to Salem in a long time, "back in the day" it wasn't as commercial as it has become now. Laurie Cabot the official witch still had her shops run by herself and daughters and she was the very first to open a shop there right on the historical spot. She has really paved the way for all that happens there now, fought for so long and hard to have witches and witchcraft recognized ,(she is well into her 80"s now), She runs the witches ball every year on the 31st. her items are still at Enchanted Salem now and her famous shop with the purple door is now run by Laurilei. You should check out all books by Laurie Cabot, her Power of the Witch book was the real stepping stone for me and all her books. She teaches witchcraft and was the first to ever do it at the university and teach it as a science. She's a wealth of knowledge, extremely talented, well traveled and knows all there is about the practice. So in conclusion to the huge take on Salem, the connection was there for me but it was a long time ago, I am sad to hear that it has lost that. Glad you had fun. Be well.
Oh my! Thank you for sharing! That's such an incredible part of history. 💜
When u said orical cards your dog moved like not again mum 😅😅😅
The only thing that ever matters to her are cuddles and cookies. 😄
My must go to town!
It takes me 4 hours to get to New orleans from where I live I love living close to one of the witchy cities
That's awesome! I've been to New Orleans before and I loved the city! There were so many fascinating things to explore. 🥰
went to Salem in fall of 2019 loved it there. wanted to go last year but couldn't because the pandemic was so bad in the area at the time
Hopefully you'll be able to go again soon. 💜
Went to Salem in 2010 and loved it.❤
Awesome!
I love Burritos, Tacos and Enchiladas 😋😋
I'm interested in New Orleans and Salem
Hi Elena you are amazing witch I am a Magick Witch I have been Magick witch very very long time have a Majickal day to you🌟
Thank you!
@@ElenaEnchanted your welcome
Omg.. the size of that Lingam stone 😳🤍
There are some pretty big ones in that shop! I hope some day I can adorn a room or two in my home with a giant rock. 😄
My word of advice for anyone traveling to Salem: if you have any interest whatsoever in Halloween, the occult, horror, modern day practicing witches etc..Bring EXTRA spending money!! 😂😫 there are sooo many shops you will want to buy so many things!😍 there is something for everyone in Salem the options are incredible🔮🧹🌙
I started reading "Women who run with the Wolves." If you're ever in the North West, Vancouver WA please visit our Vancouver Mall they have a store called Earthbound.
Have you traveled to Lilydale NY ?. I believe you would LOVE it as much as I do ❤️
Maybe one day! But ny and me haven't really had good experiences. lol
I live right by Lilydale! I’ve taken a dream class there! It’s beautiful and peaceful! ❤😊
Llewynn is one of the most famous witchcraft authors. You will know soon enough lol
I wanna go to Salem so bad
New Subscriber here where did you get that owl bag I love it! 😍🥰
Thank you! I got it online, here's a link amzn.to/3zXbc63
Do you remember the name of the restaurant for those amazing looking bowls of Ramen? Was it Kokeshi?
Want to visit there some day. I don’t think any witches were killed there, but also ironic I had 2 relatives killed in the trials. 🤔
Where is your corset from??
I LOVE LORI BRUNO ♥❤💕💖💗
I LOVE THIS. What's the name of the store you were at 5:14? I really want a Buddha statue and saw there was a lot in your video. :')
Hamburger, fries, onion rings, coke.
What was the name of the tea store?
I remember when gas was only $3 a gallon 😭
Did you go to New England magic? I love that store!
I would like to say yes? I think I visited every store that day.
Camembert with mushrooms and rice crackers
Yum yum!
The amethyst was geods.
Ahhh omg where’s the witchy places in Ireland, I live there and I need new places to go 😂
I'm sure there are tons of magickal and energetic places in Ireland. I would like to visit there some day. 💜
Super late: what was the hand sanitizer? Do you remember?
I love your dog what breed is it.
A great read is my latest book, "Haunted Antiques: A Haunted Estate Part 2: The Magic Box," By Michelle Reid- NBW.
Thank you for sharing 💜
What was the name of the shop you went to with the big crystals?😊
I think it was called the village silversmith.
@@ElenaEnchanted thank you‼️
It's interesting, as there were no witches. It was a weird mass hysteria event. It could have also been in response to indigenous people. So that would make it more of an anti-Native American issue rather than anything to do with witches.
Hi Elena you are amazing Witch I am a Magick Egyptian Witch My full Magick Egyptian Witch name is Johnny Isis Dragon I have been a Magick Egyptian Witch very very long time have Majickal day to you ⭐
Thank you!
@@ElenaEnchanted Your welcome
Oh id love a pen pal if you’re looking for anymore! I live in England and always wanting to talk to new people :)
Sure! I love to meet new people, send out letters and stickers, and get things in the mail other than bills. Lol 😊

i like your owl purse/bag! are you a witch?
Thank you! I've been a practitioner for over 14 years.
Yes, people were "harmed" as a part of witch trials. People died in prison, they were hung and one was "pressed" to death. Salem changed their name to hide their culpability. You should read up on it.
Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Good etc... Yes it was real and history should not be erased for any reason whatsoever!
Yes exactly! It’s not a tale, it was mass hysteria and lots of people died (there is literally a memorial for them in Salem)
Also a lot of people think they were burned but they’re just mixing it up with Europe’s witch hunt

Hi i am from india so nice to meet you i like your videos can you tell me some spell i need help
Hello! I'm glad you enjoy my videos, I have a few videos where I share some spells, and more videos on that to come!

I like the fact of good witches and I wish to be a good witch just without the pentagrams cause I’m Christian and we believe it’s satanism and I fear god won’t accept me for being a witch even without pentagrams but ye
I’m not Christian so I don’t know if I can really have a say but witchcraft isn’t in any way connected to Satan or anything, plenty of witches are Christian in fact, and I don’t think pentacles or pentagrams are connected to satanism either, it’s really just a pop culture thing, but of course it’s you choice if you want to include it in your practice or not, anyway, I encourage you to study witchcraft and how it can connect with your faith and see if it’s right for you, after all, if you’re drawn to the practice, it’s probably something you are meant to do. Much love ❤️
@@scrubbybubbles2351 thank you!

Yikes, your going to fast! You made me motion sick
Lol.
What an absolute insult to the accused people of Salem. to now have fully operating witchcraft shops selling and items of witchcraft and black magic????
How insulting to the victims this truly is.
I'm quite frankly absolutely disgusted.
How can anyone justify openly practising witchcraft in a town like Salem.
