I'm in favour of faery events in general, and I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that the $75 ticket price goes to food, event space and presenter fees, and not profit (although I'd feel a lot less annoyed if some of it were for a charity). But this is just coming across to me as "pay $75 to pretend you have a clue what Faerie is about!" (srsly, "granting you one wish"? I'm picturing the many pairs of cheap fairy wings now...)

Okay, in any other magic(k)al, mystical, pagan, or occult context, hawthorne would be just fine as a tree with mystical (and Celtic, and fey) significance. But in the context of Salem, Massachusetts? Um, jawdrop and headdesk much?
No, seriously, these people are in friggin' Salem. This doesn't bring Judge Hathorne (sometimes misspelled as Judge Hawthorne due partly to his literary descendant), immediately to mind?
