Salem Mass! The witch trial hysteria from the 1600's has lived on here for centuries. There are several practicing Wiccans here and Salem has even capitalized on Halloween. There is more Wiccan influence is Salem than anwhere else in the US for sure.
New York City, specifically Queens, has a Neo-Pagan on their City council and oddly enough he's a Tea Party supporter! (Meaning if the Republicans of a city will accept a worshiper of Odin it must be fairly accepting)
I'll bet a million bucks San Francisco is the #1 city in terms of pagan cities that Bible Belt cities refer. It's even been compared to Sodom.... if you can get the implications........
Then Los Angeles comes right after, being referred to as the Gomorrah.

Completely agreed. Salem is by far the best choice -- I've never been to another place, and find it hard to imagine that there is another place, where the culture seemed centered on paganism. It's the first thing you'll notice when you visit. There are "Blessed Be" signs everywhere.
The first time I was there, I thought it was weird that Salem would become a center for Wicca -- kind of like Oświęcim, Poland, becoming a bustling capital of Jewish culture. But it's happened nonetheless, so get thee to Salem.
