Crow Haven Corner A Witch Shop

I live in New England and I visit Salem multiple times per year. There are no shops where I live so I save up some cash and head to Crow Haven Corner. I’m very picky about where I buy my supplies. I will often walk out of a store if I feel it has bad energy. This place has GOOD energy and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I also appreciate that this shop doesn’t just sell mass produced items that I can buy anywhere online. There are always lots of hand-​made items and things made by local artists. By far, the best thing about Crow Haven Corner is Lorelei and the light and love she exudes. I am a solitary and generally don’t seek readings. However, I had two with her in 2015 during a particularly difficult time in my life. She is honest, kind and compassionate. She will tell you up front «you might not like what I see.» She doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear because she cares about her clients and customers. I found her readings to be quite accurate and spiritually uplifting to me. I go back now whenever I need a «tune up» and need help grounding myself. I have also had the chance to see Lorelei interact with customers in the store. She takes her time, she listens to them and she is very genuine and approachable.

Overrated and way too expensive! I’m disappointed, since I’d been looking forward to visiting this place for months. It is probably more about getting readings than the actual storefront, since the store is much smaller than I had anticipated, and there wasn’t much to look at.

The girls really know what they are doing. A lot of cool witch stuff. Walked out with a Mojo bag which was made and blessed right there. Great experience.

A definite stop when in Salem. If we had more time, I would have definitely spent it perusing through some of the handmade witchy goods here. Lots of selection of mojo items with personal twists. Loved all of the herbs in mason jars.

This is a review mostly for the tour run by Tom, though we did purchase a GORGEOUS handmade hat at the shop as well and as an experienced witch, I must say this place looks very well run with lots of awesome spells. So I grew up as a witch, with my mom teaching me the craft, but as I got older I learned much more beyond what she could teach me. So with that authority I can say, Tom is very, very knowledgable about magick. The ritual at the beginning actually made me tear up (to be fair though, I am an easy crier), and my partner and I even learned a few new things about witchcraft from him. Regarding the history of Salem, he also possessed a metric ton of knowledge. He delivered this knowledge with charm and charisma, and really brought home the lessons of the 1692 Witch Hysteria, and how those lessons intertwine with our own spirituality. We went on many tours in Salem, some for history, some for particular sites, and they were all good, but this one was easily the best. As long as you’re comfortable with the craft and magick, I cannot recommend this tour and this shop highly enough. Thanks so much, Tom! Blessed Be!

I loved the shop but was hesitant to see Lorelei because I wasn’t sure what to expect but there was something that made me turn around and go back to the shop and I’m so glad I did! I was able to hear from my grandmother and my sister who both passed away several years ago, she knew things she could not possibly have known and it was the most incredible experience I have ever had and because of this I felt like I finally got closure after the death of my sister. Thank you so much Lorelei this was my first visit and certainly not my last!

We threw change in a jar for an entire year for doing silly things on our Salem trip. Last time we had several hundred dollars we marked as guilt free and it was fun to have that so we did it again for this trip. Last time my husband had his aura read and I skipped it, I was drawing the line at what I deemed silly fun. I told him if we got back to Salem I would take our fun money and do a palm reading.
I want to state this at the top of my lungs (or letters which ever is loudest) I did not believe in tarot card reading or palm reading for that matter before we went in here. We knew going in we were spending our ‘silly stuff money’.
We tried getting the couples reading but the lady who does them, I believe is the owner as well? was booked for the rest of trip. So, we agreed to do them at the same time when we went in.
We got our names on the list and waited about ten minutes for two readers to become available. I was going to laugh when mine was dressed like a witch, but hey its Halloween in Salem. Her name was Ezmeralda, and she had me cut the cards and we started the reading. I had not said anything to her except hello and answered the questions about my birthday. She asked me if I had any area specific and I said no, but maybe career? I had never done this before and didn’t know I could have been pondering something specific.
She proceeded to tell me exactly what was I was in school to be, what my career path is and was, she told me exactly how many times I had started and stopped a school program.
I was worried I was not in the right place with my career/​education, something only I knew and never have mentioned. She proceeded to tell me that I was in the right place and where God wanted me to be and to stop worrying. Now, my heart is pounding, how could she know so much about me and not general stuff?
We spent, what I think was nearly a half an hour or 45 minutes? with her telling me exact things about my life. Things that you could not just guess about some stranger off the street. I was listening to her, that is how it works, she is not asking me questions, she is telling me things. There was not one single thing generalized about her reading, When we got to the end, where I should have had my palm read, there was another stack of cards, they were relationship cards.
I traded the time for the palm reading for those last cards to be read. She told me exactly about an issue that was going on with a specific family member, and told me exactly what that issue was (it was complicated and she told me what it was) and told me how to deal with it. She had even told me why this family member was acting out, which I knew why and there is no way– NO WAY this could have just been guessed, She was 100% right.
I do want to say this, if my husband were writing a review for his reading it would be a one star or less. He was right next to me, and I could see his reader checking her clock, to the point I saw my reader look over once. He knows a little about tarot cards and I heard him, as we first sat down mention something about a tarot card and his reader sounded almost defensive and asked him what he knew about the cards.
I was so into my reading, I didn’t know what was going on with him after that. I just know he said his reader kept repeating herself like she was killing time because she didn’t know what to say. He was very disappointed, while I was Wowed.
It is $ 60 for a reading. I begged him to take more out of our fun money and go back and get the reader I had just to see and he said he wouldn’t spend anymore money on it. He was the one who is more prone to believe in stuff and not be a doubter and that is what made that disappointing for me. When he had his aura read years ago in Salem, it was a different location, but she described his personality 100% so I thought he would like this. If I had his experience, I wouldn’t be able to give a good rating but this turned out to be something that was personal for me. I can’t say everyone will have a great reading obviously, but it is one thing I am glad I did do while I was there.

A little shop with lots of stuff. I stopped in during Haunted Happenings and a tarot card reading. Amazing! She was great and the prices weren’t jacked up like a lot of other places just because it was Haunted Happenings time.

Great place. It was very crowded when I was there but I really enjoyed this store.

Every time I go to Salem I go to crow haven corner. I get the best reading from Lorelei.

A good store, with a wide selection of items that one would expect to find in such an establishment. The true gem of the shop, for the average Salem visitor, is its Salem Witch Walk.
Samantha, our guide on the Walk, while being a lifelong practitioner of Wicca, showed a wonderful attitude, an easy smile, and a terrific outgoing personality. The tour group of which I was a part ranged in age from 6 through early 70’s, and she easily navigated the difficult waters of all of us with her factual presentation of both Wicca and the Witch Trials. While not an indepth discourse into modern Wiccan traditions, it was a nice, well-​rounded overview of the subject.
If you’re visiting Salem, and want to know just a little bit more about what Wicca is, try the tour. (Believe me, it’s more than black cats and broomsticks!)

A great little shop with a great selection. I took the witch walk tour while I was in town and I’m very glad I did. As everyone else has pointed out, Tom was a fantasic guide with a great balance between being hilarious and informative. I learned a lot and was able to buy gifts for all my friends at Crow Haven Corner afterward.
A wonderful way to spend a Salem afternoon, I highly recommend it!

Took the tour with Tom as our guide– he is great! Wicked informative, lots of details that other tours don’t include. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that it’s very Wiccan as opposed to general Witchcraft– and already people have the misconception that all witches are Wiccan. But it is a cool experience for anyone who is visiting Salem, and I recommend all to take it.

Lovely little shop and the starting point for the Salem Witch walk tour. This shop offers lots a stuff for practice of witchcraft and also psychic readings by the shops owner.

We went on their Salem Witch Walk and enjoyed it immensely. Our guide was boisterous, bubbly, and full of enthusiasm and energy. She spoke on the life and practices of modern witches and was skilled at fielding confused questions. Her talk demystified many common misunderstandings about witches and the witch trials in a way many other exhibits in Salem do not.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for something other than the typical tourist trap tour.

We went on the Witch Walk tour the night before Halloween. It was busy, but not overly crowded. Our tour guide, PJ, was awesome! He was so friendly, open to questions, and humorous. The tour mostly went over history, misconceptions about Wiccans/​witches, and historical facts over the rumor and gossip of the salem witch trials.
The tour starts off and finishes with a ritual, which I thought was really cool. It demonstrates how misconstrued perceptions surrounding the Wiccan community are. It also was a great way to set the tone for the evening.
The only reason I gave it four stars instead of three is because the shop is a little small and kind of kitchy, filled with things like dragon statues and what not, which I find a little silly. I didn’t find it as serious as Omen or one of the other shops we stopped at in Salem. However, if you’re just going for the tour, definitely do it! It was fantastic.

Crow Haven Corner is the quintessential Witch Shop in Salem. When you walk in, you can feel the magic in the air surrounding you and the staff are always welcoming and knowledgeable. I had the opportunity to visit several times over the years, living nearby and it was during a recent trip to a similar business in another city that I came to really appreciate the professionalism & knowledge. Readings with Lorelei, whether in person or via telephone are always on the mark and conclude with a feeling of peace & empowerment.
The store itself was the first to open of its kind in Salem and yes, it’s a little cramped & a little dark but the personality and history of the place make it seem so much larger once you’ve experienced a stroll through.
This is one of the absolutely can’t miss destinations while visiting Salem.

Absolutely LOVE this shop!!! My wife and I make this a must stop every time we visit Salem. We actually include «Crow Haven Corner» in the vacation plans.
We have had readings done by Lorelei and she is amazing!!! The shop has lots of inventory and the staff is great, very helpful and knowledgeable!
We could never imagine a trip to Salem without stopping in and shopping, getting a reading, and saying hi to these great people.
Make sure this is high up on your must do list when visiting!!!

Crow Haven is a fantastic shop in the heart of downtown Salem. The exterior of the building is what drove my wife and I stop in, as it is absolutely beautiful. The energy from the building was positive. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
My wife and I decided to do a session with Lorelei. I’ll be honest by saying I was skeptical, especially with the price tag. After doing a couple session with Lorelei, I left a true believer. Not only was she accurate, personable and down to earth, but she was real. Lorelei spoke of things that there was no way anyone would know unless they were very close to us. Lorelei also drew upon things from many years ago and helped to shed some light on current situations.
I would highly recommend a stop into Crow Haven if you are ever in Salem.

I did not pay too much attention to the shop. I was getting sick of the touristy witch shops to be quite honest.
However I did a 15 minute reading with Loreli (hope I spelled her name right). All I can say is her reading literally changed my life. not only was she so accurate, attentive, kind, not to mention so funny with her very thick accent, but she helped me solve a few mysteries in my own life. She helped me figure out some major questions I had about my past and it brought me to tears. I was so happy I went to her, it was worth every penny.
