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.

Excellent trail walk in Salem Woods. Definitely worth the experience. The tour guide, who is a practicing witch, was very informative and knowledgeable. In addition, she provides each person with a crystal, which you use to charge while you are walking in the forest.

Very informative and educational. It was a great walk through some beautiful woods & even though mother nature provided a steady supply of rain drops. The tour guide is a practicing witch (not scary though) and her in site into such was very interesting. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was very enjoyable and different. Thank you!

Eunie our tour guide was so knowledgeable. A very informative tour of the woods with scientific, wiccan and magical flair. I highly recommend this tour. It is a beautiful stroll in Salem's woods with a great wealth of information, including mushrooms indigenous to the area as well. A must do stroll in Salem especially those interested in the views behind modern wiccan ideology.
