Our Guide to Salem

Tour the House of Seven Gables

This guided house tour has it all, intrigue, legends and progressive story telling (which yes- even feminist Salem history!). This home inspired one of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s most ghostly novels by the same name. Find out the secret of the hidden staircase and what it was used for! Entertaining for all ages.

Located at 115 Derby St, Salem, MA 01970

Shop at Artemisia Botanicals

Ever wondered where the real Salem witches get our supplies? Well here it is. Featuring a wide variety of organic herbs, tinctures and essential oils for your healing needs, you will also find other witch tools that you can take home to bless your sanctuary with some city magick(including brooms and witch balls!) This shop is as close as you can get to local Salem based authentic folk magick!

Located at 3 Hawthorne Blvd, Salem, MA 01970

Get a Tarot Card Reading

If you’re in Salem -you have to get a psychic reading! You can book a spirit guide reading with me here via zoom, or you can check out some IRL places here. The best spots include Pyramid Books (a lot of Salem locals get their readings done there!) and Artemisia Botanicals where you can get a tea leaf and tarot reading combo! How’s that for a fun addition to your future trip here :)

Grab a spell candle at Witch City Wicks

Our favorite candle shop in town! Grab a whiff of Salem scents that remind you of a spooky fall! You can choose anything from travel size tins perfect for flights back home or larger jars or even sprays. My favorites are the Sea Witch and the Holy Ground scents (why don’t you satisfy your curiosity as to how they smell!). Use them only full or new moons along with an intention to cast a spell! They are all Salem made and hand crafted.

Location: 302A Essex St, Salem, MA 01970

A truly spectacular experience where you keep a polaroid of your aura’s colors! Discover what energies and blessings surround you as you receive insights and interpretation of the colors surrounding you. You can absolutely trust that Ascend will provide you with the most incredible aura photo service, and you can even come back next time you’re in Salem to see how you’ve glowed up and changed since then.
