Salem Witch Walk
About
Salem Witch Walk is a guided walking tour that looks at witchcraft as it is practiced today while honoring the history of 1692. Tours begin at Crow Haven Corner, which bills itself as Salem’s oldest witch shop, and lead first into an enchanted garden alley with a musical light show, dragons, cauldrons and fog. Guests take part in three spells there, guided by the tour leader, before the group heads out into the city.
From the garden, the guide walks the group through the streets of Salem, explaining what real witches do and do not do and how magic has evolved in the city over the years. The tour also covers the witch trials and includes a blessing for the victims. Its guiding principle, as the operators put it, is that all of the magic performed is for the good of all people and harms none.
