Salem Forest Lore Tour

Overview

Unlike any walking tour in Salem, the Forest Lore Tour takes you outside the heart of downtown and into one of the few remaining wild places in the area, where you learn from a practicing Witch, what it means to experience real magic, why nature is so important, and how to incorporate ancient knowledge into modern life.

Wear your hiking boots and bring your curiosity! This is a one-mile, guided hike that takes to you the crossroads of science, history, and philosophy in Salem Woods. Rain or shine, but we can't operate in snow due to trail conditions.

I loved learning about some medicinal plant properties and I enjoyed Uni's sense of humor. My only suggestion would be to make the presentation more interactive with the tourists. Instead of asking at the end of each segment if there are questions, draw the hikers into your talk by asking what they already know or think they know about plants, Salem, and witchcraft. I learned a lot and enjoyed the forest.

By far the most authentic tour in Salem! If you are looking to get away from the gimmicks and learn about Salem and true witchcraft then look no further. You get a leisure stroll through the woods full of energy cleansing and knowledge. The mushroom witch blends science and witchcraft for all minds to understand. Educational while energetically cleansing. This is a MUST do!!!
