Witches and the Spirit World 

“Witches are the Future” has become a popular slogan, rallying cry, and hopeful collective vision for those practicing witchcraft today. But as we look to the future we must also look to our past and Salem, Massachusetts, through the twists and turns of history both tragic and transformative, has stood alone as the holder of The Witch. This 2-mile walking tour is for the deeply curious at heart and seekers looking to go beyond mainstream narratives around magic and witchcraft.  Together, we'll explore the power of The Witch, as well as our own personal connection to the Spirit realm.


Includes:

  • Your own local guide, Melissa Nierman, with years of experience sharing tours as a DIY scholar of occult history, queer witch, and professional clairvoyant/ Tarot practitioner

  • An intimate small group setting with space for questions and exploration

  • A chance to journey deep into the idyllic McIntire District with its 1800s mansions, secret gardens, and Salem’s second oldest colonial burying ground

  • Visits to Salem's pop-culture witch sites through a unique lens -  like the iconic Witch House, the Bewitched statue, and a Hocus Pocus filming exterior 

  • Lesser-known sites, like a still-operational Spiritualist church where mediums talk to the dead, a 1700s Quaker cemetery, and a pair of 400-year old talkative twin trees

  • The Salem Witch Trials explored through the context of our relationship to the "occult' 
  • Discussion of protective folk traditions like Counter Magic and what we label as “magic” 
  • Exploration of different types of spirit communication, including trance mediumship

2-2.5 hours/  Starting at $300 and up per group, based on number of participants.

Location: Tours meet and end at the HausWitch store (144 Washington Street in the heart of downtown Salem).

Testimonials:

“It was so lovely to connect with a Salem local who has such a passion for the hidden parts of history! Melissa is so knowledgeable and her perspective is so insightful and inspiring. This tour was our favorite part of our whole trip to Salem <3”

“Amazing! Just what I was looking for -  it was like getting a "behind the scenes" tour of Salem. Down to earth, thoughtful, and progressive. I've already recommended to my friends.”

“This was an incredible experience. I was struck by Melissa's degree of thoughtfulness and the skill with which she delivered this meaningful yet fun tour. This is such a breath of fresh air in a sea of witch-related tours and other offerings that make witchcraft a spectacle in Salem without pausing to interrogate how any of this came to be, its oppressive dimensions, and the ways in which people have derived genuine power from occult practices. I look forward to taking another tour soon!”
