I am hoping all the Cabot Witches and the world of Witches in the United States will get out and vote!
Our one vote really counts; these politicians would not be spending millions of dollars on advertising if they didn’t understand that without our vote and participation, they wouldn’t have a chance. Your vote counts!
I personally am voting democrat because women rights are being threatened once again by the republican candidates.
It is so sad and shocking that anyone would want to jeopardize women’s health and if men were only making 60 cents on a dollar they would understand what women are going through without that 40 cents more that they need and deserve. Women dropped the ball when the republicans stopped the bills that would have given women equal rights and equal pay for equal work.
This is a democratic government; let’s let the democrats run it. Did you know that Bill Clinton balanced the budget while he was in office and he is working hand in hand with President Obama?
The mess in this country is in was caused by the republicans. President Obama has done a great job in four years. No president could have undone what has been done by the republicans to cause a recession, but he has turned things around and we’re on the climb to success, we can’t change hands in the middle of this progress.
Get that Goddess in you, get her in warrior mode and vote! I will be voting for Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren.

Our Needs
As your High Priestess and Founder of the Cabot Tradition and The Cabot-Kent Hermetic Temple, I am in touch with, sometimes, five hundred people of our clan on any given day with issues of study, behavior, personal and spiritual needs. I am always there for our people. When a matter arises it is best to contact me, however if I do not get back to you immediately, please be patient. Others in our community may have more pressing issues and I must attend to the most immediate problem or need. Your consideration is welcomed. I have to focus on the most important needs of our tradition, it is my Job.
Blessings,
Rev Laurie Cabot HPs

Journeying Forward
My dear friends,
About 42 years ago I opened the first Witch shop in America in the small town of Salem Massachusetts. When I first arrived in Salem it was a sleepy little town with a disturbing history, today Salem is a thriving city that hustles and bustles and overloads during the fall season with all the wonderful October events. Those many years ago when I opened my shop I had distinct goa...ls: to be able to care for my children, support myself and family financially and educate the world about Witchcraft while living my life as a Witch. As you can probably imagine living as a Witch and not hiding who you are while owning a Witch shop in 1970 was no easy task, but we kept our heads high and marched forward looking to educate the world and receive equal rights and protection. Several years after I opened my shop I was honored with the title ‘Official Witch of Salem,’ bestowed upon me by then governor Michael Dukakis, a title which I have worked my life to ensure that I met, to educate, to guide, to help and to heal.
Here I sit now, reflecting on my life as a Witch, my goals, challenges and successes both in the past and what will be in the future. My goals have changed, my focus must now change to meet those goals and it is to that end that I have decided to gear my focus to our temple, the first ever temple of Witchcraft in Salem, the Cabot Kent Hermetic Temple, what an event! In 1692 people in Salem township were killed in the name of Witchcraft, murdered when there is no evidence to support they were even Witches or knew what Witches were, and now today we have founded our temple in its place! We are working to replace fear and hate with hope, love and majick. My goal is to is to see this temple flourish, I want to see us have a building, a real place where anyone can come and learn about Witchcraft, the science, the art and the religion. A place where you can learn about your Celtic ancestors, our Gods and Goddesses, where we can use majick and cast spells to heal the world.
As you can imagine running a store and trying to be available to the temple is a lot of work, and so I have decided to align myself with my new goals and close my store, The Official Witch Shoppe. I will continue to offer all of my products (and some new specialties) through the online store operated by On-Line New England which is owned by friends and students of mine, they have added all of my products to their already large selection of inventory (and also they also ship WORLDWIDE!). You can find their full inventory and my products by visiting their store through the Online Shopping button on The Official Witch Shoppe website (www.TheOfficialWitchShoppe.com) or through my own site, www.LaurieCabot.com.
Closing my store was a very difficult decision but one that I am pleased with. For the past 42 years I have been very involved with the operations of all of my stores, from the first, The Witch Shoppe to Crow Haven Corner and then The Cat, The Crow and The Crown and finally to The Official Witch Shoppe. It has been a dream come true to have had the experience of operating my stores and the countless wonderful people I have met and interacted with at each of my shop locations.
I will continue to teach; my classes on Witchcraft and Tarot are still very much available as are my physic readings and workshops. The shops phone number will remain the same and continue to operate for more information on classes, workshops and readings as well as online at the shops website which will continue to operate, more information will be provided should the fate of that site change.
As of right now I am planning a book signing at the shop on Saturday, January 21th and the final day of operation is planned for Tuesday, January 31st. I would like to invite you to check our website in case any changes to the dates should occur.
I would like to thank all of you for the many many years of support and love. Without you the shops would not have been a success and Witchcraft may still be something misunderstood and feared.
I wish all of you many blessings.
