Salem Description |
|
Laurie Cabot is an American witchcraft high priestess, and was one of the first people to popularize Witchcraft in the United States. She is the author of such books as The Power of the Witch, The Witch in Every Woman, Celebrate the Earth, while also founding the Cabot Tradition of the Science of witchcraft and the Witches' League for Public Awareness to defend the civil rights of witches everywhere. In the 1970s, Cabot was declared the "official witch of SALEM, Massachusetts", by then-Governor Michael Dukakis, to honor her work with special needs children.
Laurie Cabot continues to reside in SALEM, where She owns a shop called The Cat, the Crow, and the Crown. Cabot claims to be related to the prominent Boston Brahmin Cabot family. she is perhaps one the most high-profile witches in the world. She is a part of Salem lore, and a bona-fide local celebrity in that city and throughout Massachusetts's North Shore.
  
Laurie Cabot is also known for her sometimes controversial behavior. There was a legal situation in the mid 1990s in which Cabot allegedly threatened local real estate agent, Janet Andrews, with her gun. Cabot denied She had ever acted in such a manner and upon further investigation all charges against Cabot were dismissed and she still retains a gun permit.
She garnered more notoriety in 2004 when SALEM Police came to her home in order to remove her adolescent grandson over a custody issue between Jody Cabot and her former husband . Both incidents were covered by local and national press and even featured on CNN. A policeman claimed that during the incident Cabot ordered him to look into her eyes, telling him he was cursed once he did. Cabot denies she ever cursed the policeman, stating "I say it is a curse when you do bad things." This is a reference to the threefold law that whatever you do, good or bad, shall be returned to you threefold. She has steadily maintained that witchcraft is never meant to be employed to cause harm or destruction.

SALEM is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. It and Lawrence are the county seats of Essex County. home to SALEM State College, SALEM Willows Park and the Peabody Essex Museum, SALEM is a residential and tourist area which includes the neighborhoods of Salem Neck, South Salem and North Salem, and witchcraft Heights.
Many people associate the city with the SALEM Witch Trials of 1692, which the city embraces both as a source of tourism and culture—Police cars are adorned with witch logos, a local public school is known as the witchcraft Heights Elementary School, the Salem High School football team is named The Witches, and Gallows Hill, a site of numerous public hangings, is currently used as a playing field for various sports.
Tourists know SALEM as a mix of important historical sites, New Age and Wiccan boutiques, and kitschy Halloween-themed and/or witch-themed attractions. A statue of Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha Stephens in Bewitched) was erected there in 2005.
Arthur Miller's 1952 play The Crucible dealt with the witch trials of the 1690s. The play, and the 1996 film version with Winona Ryder and Daniel Day-Lewis, were popular and commercial successes.
