Oils & Potions

Anyone who has heard the famous song Love Potion #9 knows a little of the lore of oils, potions, and magickal concoctions. What few people realize, however, is that these early combinations of plants, resins, and other natural elements were the foundation of modern medicine and perfumery. The early Witches and Shamans served as doctors and pharmacists, therapists and counselors to their communities. They created their ointments, salves, and brews to heal both the body and the spirit.
