In this section you can find out more about ingredients and brews that witches use. Separate the myth from the magick!
Did you really think that witches use animal parts in their spells? We caught you out, then – because we don’t. Well, we don’t use animal parts, but we do use plants with these sorts of names. To help you out (in case you ever read a spell with these odd names), I’ve composed a list for you. Witches like codes … and plant names are great for this. Please be aware that some of these plants are very poisonous – do not use anything unless you have made sure of safety yourself!
