Pyramid Books-the New-Age Store

Funky little shop in Salem. A really great collection of tumbled crystals for a reasonable price, great book selection and a lot of interesting candles and spells. It’s worth coming here and happens to be across from my favorite Salem café which is convienient.
It’s a larger store and GENERALLY they’re helpful (not today).
I went in search of larger, raw crystals and they didn’t have any I was interested in today. And when I went their tarot reader wasn’t there so I can’t comment on readings.
Overall a funky little place you should check out.

I visited many stores during my trip to Salem and this was the only one that wasn’t full of novelty items and Harry Potter stuff. No gimmicks; just great literature, beautiful stones and other altar items. Glad I stopped by!

An awesome unique store! Great extensive collection of books. Beautiful awesome jewelry and trinkets. The best experience here was having a reading done by Beverly. All in all a great place to visit!

I like this store. They have a ton of merchandise in this store but the crystals and gemstones are where they truly shine. So many beautiful specimens, but it is pricey. They also have a big selection of oracle and tarot decks and a sizeable collection of books. They cater to quite a cross section of faiths. You will see the Green man and Goddess statuary next to the Virgin Mary, Jesus, and Ganesh. They also have a ton of skulls, small and large. Surely, they have something for everyone. The lady I spoke with happily showed me many pieces of jewelry, but ultimately the price was just too high for me. Nice store though. You definitely need to check it out.

I really love this store. Been there many times and each time I leave happy with a new treasure ! From, stones to books, candles, smudge sticks and incense. I love everything !

Is that where Beverly is now? If she’s the one from Durango you might want to know that although what she tells you is enticing it’s just a scam to get you to spend several hours of your time and money at her ridiculous rates and nothing she says comes true. Save yourself the headache, the heartache and the BS and talk to your minister instead for some real spiritual guidance.

Got a reading from Doug and he was dead on about my personality. Not sure about the reviews saying he was rehearsed but did not seem that way to me but some of the stuff he said to my friend were quite similar to mine. Maybe because we’re both artist? I’m going try not to dwell on psychic readings too much but to me he seems experienced and well informed. Did not ask me much questions about my life but it appeared that he already knew of me. The incense selection is to die for. Very warm and inviting smells. The personality of the cashier though was so so. Her friendliness seemed forced. Maybe that is just me being paranoid. Overall I enjoy the atmosphere and the reading. I may come again for another reading.

Wide variety of books – everything from Wicca to reiki. They also sell some beautiful gifts. And they’ve really done a great job feng shui-​ing this place. Very peaceful.

I visited on a trip to MA and I wish I could go back! They put so much into one store that there is always something new around the corner! Everywhere you look is something interesting. They have a great variety of useful things and nick-​knacks. All religions and spiritualities are showcased. Love it.

Pyramid Books has a nice selection of books, candles, jewelery, stones and assorted items… but I go there to see Beverly.
Beverly Anderson is phenomenal! From my very first reading with her I felt an immediate connection. She never questioned me (to dig for info), and her information was spot on. She knew what was going on in my life, but more importantly she knew what was going on in my head. Her presence is very calming and you can actually feel her energy while sitting with her.
I’ve never had readings with anyone else in the store… but why would I when I’ve found someone some special already.
I think it is worth mentioning that I am somewhat a skeptic. I do believe that everyone has an intuition and some are stronger than others, but I also think that many many people claim to be psychic and are just good con artists. I am just a regular girl, with a regular job and normal beliefs… but I KNOW that Beverly is the real deal!

The book store has some great finds! The clerks were very friendly. My reading with Doug was the worst I’ve ever had! He sounded very reheased and practiced, not my idea of an individual reading. He spoke in very general terms, like what he said could apply to anyone. I’m glad I only paid $ 20.

Bought a copy of Rosemary Guiley’s Encyclopedia of Witches & Witchcraft here about 10 yrs ago & it still smells like the store.

I’ve been here 3 times, twice with Doug and once with Beverly. I’ve been wowed and intrigued by some of the things they have told me. Both were very intuitive and compassionate, but I felt I connected better with Beverly. The things she focused on were much more in tune with my feelings, while Doug’s information was accurate, but not as emotional-​oriented. Just depends on what you’re looking. I think having your cards read is great for quarter-​life (or any time!) crises, looking for some advice or change in your life, or just for fun. This is the only place I have ever had cards read, but from talking to others, it sounds like the prices are reasonable. ($ 20 for 15 min, $ 40 for 30 min). You can get a lot of info from 15 min, and I didn’t feel a 30 min session was better, but it did feel less rushed and gave me more time to process everything.

Great place. I come here often to re-​stock my supply of incense and candles (such as today). They have a nice collection of crafts, stones, crystals and jewelry too. The staff is also very nice and helpful. If you are Pagan then there is a great chance you’ll find something you want here. Check them out.

The store is located in a great spot in Salem. Very useful books, and respectful readers, that’s about it. The people that work at the counter don’t really know what is going on… You can tell they are only there to make money, not to be pioneers on the new age world. Horrible management.

Wow, this place looks and smells just the same as the first time I sauntered in 13 years ago: There’s something calming about that, especially in a town I visit to decompress.
Ok, I’m the only one who cares about that so on to the goods and services.
They have a solid selection of books on the occult but it’s not some cheesy darkened room with goths peering over your shoulder. Rather it’s a bright, sunny, inviting space.
The staff is attentive and are happy to order anything they don’t normally stock and usually get it in within 10 days.
In a city of cheesy shops, Pyramid is pretty straightforward and accessible, even if (like me) you’re not really interested in the occult and are venturing in for other reasons.

Very well stocked store with plenty of Wiccan, pagan, occult and new-​age supplies. Customers of all paths should find something here. They also offer tarot and spiritual readings of other kinds; they seem very popular.
I am an atheist buddhist, so the shop doesn’t have much for me beyond some nice statues and some interesting books for the non-​practitioner. My pagan friends love this place, though, and always make it a point of coming here when they visit. I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place, in fact I like going here and watching my friends browse and chat about what they could do with items. If you are not the shop’s main clientel, just keep an open mind.
The store’s location near some good food and walking locations is an added bonus.

Great new age book store. I was in need of some sort of guidance during a very difficult time in my life, so a friend said that she had gotten her cards read and it helped her a lot. So I did a little bit of research and stumbled upon Pyramid Books. All the reviews were positive so I figured why not???
I read with Beverly Andersen and she was DEAD ON with many things happening in my life right now, before I even gave her any additional information besides my name. I know that a lot of the information you get from readings can be generic but Beverly was wonderful. So warm and kind and I left feeling so much better about my situation.
They do readings year round, and if you are ever in Salem, stop in. You will not be dissapointed and might leave with some great insight! I know I’ll be visiting again very soon. The books are great too. Lots of self help books, home remedy books, feng shui, palm reading, and others that I didnt get to take a peek at, but plan to the next time around.
Prices were better than any others I have seen while doing research. $ 20 for 15 minutes, but I reccomend the half hour session for $ 40.

This store is just great, they have a big selection of various crystals and stones, and plenty of incense. But I went here mainly to have a reading done. I spoke with Beverly, one of the three readers there, and she gave me some incredible advice.
I needed some major relationship advice, and knowing just my name she began describing my current situation in such correct detail it was frightening. She gave me the best advice about the past, present and future, how things would play out and what I needed to do. I walked away with such a great sense of clarity in everything I needed to talk about.
Their prices are pretty affordable, $ 20 for a 15 minute reading, you can add up to an hour or anywhere in between, based on what you want. If you’re in town and need advice on anything really, stop in and talk to one of their readers, its a great experience!

I’m «in the biz» as they say. I’m a professional reader and shop owner (The Sacred Well) in Oakland, CA. So, where do I go when I need spiritual refreshment? I try to make an annual journey to Salem, MA to get my good East Coast witchery on. Typically, when I go to Salem I get a couple of readings, visit the shops, chat with other witches, enjoy the vibe.
Pyramid has always been one of the favorite stops on my trip. The selection of stones is one of the most extensive of any shop in Salem, and the statuary, books, and other gift items are lovely.
But what I’m really here to talk about is my reading with Mary Beth.
She is the real deal.
She gave me an amazingly specific reading that directly addressed several of my core concerns about life, my business, my spiritual practice, my relationships, and my own emotional state. She had a depth of insight that I have rarely encountered in this type of setting– in a quick 15-​minute reading she just broke it all down, made me smile, gave me very specific advice and guidance, and sent me on my way with a great vibe. I HIGHLY recommend her, from both the perspective of a client AND the perspective of a reader!
Mary Beth — you’ll be seeing me again next time I’m in Salem!
