“Why all this enthusiasm and interest ??”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

We visited Salem the first weekend of April and only had one day, so we planned our visit carefully, reading all reviews on Trip Advisor before leaving. We did not find anything about The Broom Closet in visitor's guides or internet website guides for Salem, but we found reviews on Trip Advisor, that were all very good. So we decided... More

“The real deal!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2013 via mobile

I went to The Broom Closet almost a year ago. The people in the store welcomed me like a long lost member of their family and I felt very comfortable immediately. I had a reading by Rick Watson and it was such a real experience that it still touches me today. I did have a reading by another "Psychic" a... More

“A reading with Rick Watson is a must!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2013

I loved my visit to the Broom Closet. The huge wall of herbs is amazing! If you are in the area, make sure to book a reading with Rick Watson. He is accurate and to the point. If you're looking for an honest, no BS, nothing held back reading, Rick is the one to see. He makes you feel comfortable... More

“Brutally Honest Rick...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2013

Oh my dear friend Rick... Where do I begin!! I met Rick a few years ago through a mutual friend. It was very strange how it all happened. My friend was telling me about this guy named Rick that was coming to CT who reads. She said you should come with me. I said of course. What do I have... More

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2013 via mobile

Not what I was expecting in a witch shop at all. Not a lot of atmosphere and sparse products. Reasonable prices, but I was disappointed with the shop itself.

“Very disappointed....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2013

In October 2012, went to see Rick Watson. He was a really nice guy and was very confident in his reading. It is now February 2013 and nothing came to pass....not one thing. My brother and I traveled eight hours round trip and paid a good amount of money for our readings. I expected a little more, something, for my... More

“Helpful and High Quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2013

I've been getting my herbs from The Broom Closet for years because they are a fairly local, reasonably priced, and well-stocked store, but never got a chance to really interact with the owners. Today, I had an emergency low stock and drove 40 minutes to get there before closing time. The snow and traffic delayed me, and I got to... More
