The magic numbers (of witches in Salem) (Boston Globe)
Purveyors of psychic arts worry as Salem's city leaders look to expand witchery marketplace
From The Boston Globe:

SALEM -- The resident witches want to keep Witch City their own.
The City Council unanimously passed an ordinance last night to license palm readers and fortunetellers who have been in Salem for at least a year, pass a criminal background check, and submit a résumé showing at least five years of experience.
But a group calling itself the Witches' Public Awareness League, made up of several locals who have for years offered psychic readings for a fee, said the proposal isn't enough to stop interlopers who show up during the busy Halloween season and steal their business.
