Visit Mont Royal for a Winter Solstice Ritual!

On the Winter Solstice, Mont Royal transforms into a sacred space where nature’s energy feels heightened. Bundle up and take a stroll to the top of the mountain, where you can participate in small, informal gatherings or simply meditate and connect with the earth’s energies. Many witches believe the Winter Solstice is a time for rebirth and transformation, so take the opportunity to reflect, release, and set intentions.

Wander Through Old Montreal's Haunted History!

For those drawn to the darker, mysterious side of magic, Old Montreal offers a wealth of haunted history. Join one of the city's popular ghost tours, which weave together Montreal's witchy past with tales of spirits, occult practices, and mysterious happenings. December's chill adds to the eerie atmosphere as you explore the city’s oldest streets and buildings.

Visit in December to find handcrafted candles, essential oils, homemade crafts, and herbal remedies, as well as local artists offering enchanted jewelry and artwork. It’s the perfect place to pick up a gift for yourself or a witchy friend.

Get A Witchy Tattoo! 

A witchy tattoo is a powerful way to express your connection to magic, mystery, and the natural world. Whether it's a symbol of personal strength, a reminder of your intuition, or a tribute to the mystical, these tattoos celebrate your unique energy. A few of our suggestions have been in Chateau St-Ambroise, so to keep it local, might we suggest Madame Medusa Tattoo! A fine line to the supernatural! Too see some of her work or for an inquiry, check @madamemedusa on Instagram!

The Goth Shop MTL

For those looking to stock up on unique gifts, magical supplies, and maybe something slightly haunted, The Goth Shop MTL aka Inchoo Bijoux, in the historic Chateau St-Ambroise, is a must-see. This gothic boutique offers candles, tarot decks, jewelry, packaged spells, prints, divination tools, antiques,  books, and so much more! In December, the shop is the perfect place to shop at your own leisure! And may we recommend visiting Atwater Market nearby! Their Holiday market is also open! Make a festive day out of it!
