点评:My wife and I had an amazing shopping experience at Covens Cottage this past Wednesday. I’d been waiting several years to be able to make it here, and it was worth the wait! The two male staff on duty at the time were so welcoming, kind, patient with us and incredibly helpful. As a Nordic-Celtic witch, this is the ONLY shop in Salem that had what I was looking for. Spent easily over 30 mins in here because they had so many things that my spirit guides and deities wanted me to get, that I can’t get anywhere else in Salem nor have I been able to find in NY for that matter. I usually have to source my Magickal ingredients (bones, furs, etc) from a variety of non-witchy places and so it was nice to just walk into a witchy shop and they actually have the stuff I need and want, and my dollars go into a fellow witches pocket instead of random people who may or may not actually believe in or support what I do! I also appreciate this store’s no phone use rule because there’s nothing worse than being in a magickal space and trying to be lead by my spirit guides just to be randomly rudely interrupted by someone starting a FaceTime call to try to show someone else what the store has (this happened in several other Salem witch shops who didn’t have the no-phone policy) or someone taking pictures for instagram like it’s some sort of spectacle instead of the sacred space that Covens Cottage is. Thank you to Covens Cottage for existing and I wish your store and your family many more years of peace, prosperity, health and love! I look forward to coming back in the fall to winter for more magickal delights!
翻译:上周三,我和妻子在Covens Cottage度过了一段美好的购物时光。我盼望这家店好几年了,果然不虚此行!当时值班的两位男店员热情友好,耐心周到,帮了我很多忙。作为一名北欧凯尔特女巫,这家店是塞勒姆唯一一家能满足我所有需求的商店。我在店里待了足足半个多小时,因为店里有很多我的灵性导师和神灵希望我拥有的东西,这些东西我在塞勒姆其他地方都找不到,甚至在纽约也找不到。我通常需要从各种非巫术场所购买魔法材料(骨头、毛皮等等),所以这次能走进一家巫术商店,发现他们真的有我需要和想要的东西,真是太好了。而且我的钱是进了其他女巫的口袋,而不是进了那些可能并不真正相信或支持我信仰的陌生人的口袋!我非常欣赏这家店禁止使用手机的规定,因为没有什么比身处一个充满魔法的空间,试图跟随我的灵性导师指引时,却被突然粗鲁地打断更糟糕的了——有人会突然打开 FaceTime 通话,试图向别人展示店里有什么(这种情况在塞勒姆其他几家没有禁止使用手机规定的女巫商店也发生过),或者有人会像在表演一样拍照上传到 Instagram,仿佛这里不是什么神圣的空间。感谢 Covens Cottage 的存在,祝愿您的商店和您的家人在未来的岁月里平安、繁荣、健康、充满爱!我期待着在秋冬季节再次光临,体验更多魔法的乐趣!
