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 this tour! Uni had such an amazing energy and you could just tell how much she loves what she does. The hike was great and it was so nice to be out in nature while hearing about natural remedies and modern witchcraft. Make sure to wear appropriate shoes and know that although the walk is not difficult there is lots of walking and some uphill moments. I honestly would of loved a longer tour that dived more into how to find and use these natural remedies as well as more information on rituals/practices.

This was an awesome and unique experience off the beaten path of the streets of Salem and into nature. Uni was extremely knowledgeable about her topics. The description of the tour on TripAdvisor was spot on. Bonus , we got Lucky and it was a beautiful day and the colors of the woods were enchanting. Thank you so much for making this a memorable and worthy experience. Highly recommend!
