The Salem Witch Walk is a guided walking tour that takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, a town infamous for its witch trials in the late 17th century. The tour explores the history and mythology surrounding the witch trials, as well as the modern practices of witchcraft and paganism. During the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, more than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft, and 20 were executed. The trials and executions were fueled by fear, superstition, and religious beliefs. Today, Salem embraces its dark history and has become a popular tourist destination for those interested in the occult and witchcraft. The Salem Witch Walk offers visitors a unique opportunity to learn about the history of witchcraft and witch trials in a fun and engaging way.

Ok this might get a little long… there are lots of uses for egg shells!
So egg shells are naturally protective. If you wash them and clean them, then grind them into a powder, you can actually use them as an alternative to salt for casting circles outside since egg shells are actually GOOD for the soil and plants as opposed to salt which will kill everything. Since those egg shells are good for the soil and plants and give plants nutrients, they are a great addition to soil for added nutrients. They are loaded with calcium, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus which are all fantastic for your plants! SO because of this, I would definitely recommend subbing egg shells for salt if you absolutely HAVE to bury a spell. Just make sure all the rest of the ingredients INCLUDING the vessel or what you are burying it in are safe to go into the ground as well.
Speaking of plants… you can also add herbs to your eggshell powder to make a magical powder with specific intent as well. You can also make that eggshell powder (or magical powder) into a chalk-like stick and use it to write sigils around your property or home or whatever else (as long as you aren’t vandalizing things… don’t do that).
Eggshells are also really good in healing spells as well, or spells where something requires nurturing. You can also use them as a representation of a womb if you need that for something. I also correspond eggshells to fertility to a certain extent. You can also use them very effectively in cleansing and purification rituals, on top of already being protective. They really really handy!
Now since you mentioned curses, you can DEFINITELY use them in baneful magic. I don’t use the powder for curses so much as just broken, jagged bits of eggshells. Have to ever poked your finger on a sharp, broken eggshell? Things hurt! Throw those in a curse jar to slice up your target or even to break them. Alternatively, you can also take the phrase “walking on eggshells” to heart and make a curse so that your target is always feeling that annoying feeling of walking on eggshells.

Reviews for "Embark on a Spooky Adventure with the Salem Witch Walk"
1. Emma - 2/5 stars
I was really disappointed with the "Salem Witch Walk". The tour guide seemed unenthusiastic and didn't provide much historical information about the Salem witch trials. We spent more time walking aimlessly through Salem than actually learning about the history. The overall experience felt rushed and disorganized. I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone looking for an informative and engaging experience.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars
I wish I could give the "Salem Witch Walk" zero stars. It was a complete waste of time and money. The tour guide was rude and didn't bother to answer any of our questions. The tour itself was just a series of stops at tourist traps, with no real insight into the Salem witch trials. Save your money and find a different tour company if you're interested in learning about the history of Salem.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars
I had high expectations for the "Salem Witch Walk" but was ultimately disappointed. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable, but the group was too large, making it difficult to hear everything that was being said. Additionally, we didn't spend enough time at each location to fully appreciate the history and significance. It felt rushed and didn't allow for much interaction or questions. I wouldn't recommend this tour for those seeking an immersive and educational experience.
4. John - 1/5 stars
The "Salem Witch Walk" was a major letdown. The tour guide lacked enthusiasm and didn't seem to have a deep understanding of the Salem witch trials. We were simply herded from one overcrowded location to another without any meaningful explanation. The tour felt impersonal and superficial. I expected a more in-depth exploration of the history, but all I got was a rushed and uninformative tour. Save your money and opt for a different tour company in Salem.
