    FEB 11

    HAUSWITCHES with Erica Feldmann and Melissa Nierman

    Erica Feldmann holds a Master's degree in Gender and Cultural Studies, with a research concentration in Witches. Her innate interest in the connection between home spaces and wellness led to the creation of HausWitch in 2012. What started as a “micro budget + magic = makeover” interiors blog would eventually become a thriving brick and mortar shop and online community based in downtown Salem, MA. Harper Collins published her first book "HausMagick: Transform Your Home with Witchcraft" in 2019 and her second book "Intention Obsession: Rituals + Witchcraft for Every Season" in 2025. A Gemini Sun, Pisces Moon and Scorpio Rising, Erica lives with her wife Melissa and cat in the woods just outside of Witch City. Melissa Nierman started NowAge Travel on April Fools Day 2017 in Salem, Massachusetts as a way to offer a container of authenticity to the many curious folks who visit Witch City each year.  NowAge - offering intimate retreats, walking tours, readings, and hands-on classes that explore our personal relationship with magic, history, and our own innate psychic-ness - works to redefine the possibilities of what it means to travel as spiritual beings here on Earth.  Melissa - a Leo sun, Aries moon, and Virgo rising- is herself a trained clairvoyant, queer witch, and intersectional history nerd with a passion for DIY learning. With a Masters of Education + years as an amateur comedian, she brings together a commitment to the “facts” with a keen ability to see the ridiculousness of said “facts.” She truly believes that people learn best when they’re having fun and feeling connected. In this episode, Erica and Melissa share what the zeitgeist gets wrong (and right!) about Salem, amplifying magic in our communities and homes, plus so much more.  For more about Erica’s April 3-5, 2026 retreat at Kripalu please visit  https://kripalu.org/experiences/intention-obsession-self-care-rituals-burnt-out-witches?sku=18438964 This episode is sponsored by WEISER BOOKS: Enter code IMMATERIAL30 at checkout for 30% off your purchase between December 30, 2025 and March 31, 2026 Visit https://redwheelweiser.com/ for a complete list of titles and creators.  For more about Erica and Melissa visit: www.hauswitchstore.com and www.nowagetravel.com Instagram: @hauswitch and @now.age Tiktok: @hauswitchstore  Become an Immaterial World supporter!
