herbs=potions

Be very,very careful with herbs. Winter Aconite, for example, has pretty white flowers. Pick them at your peril! The plant is deadly poisonous!

Couldn't agree with Brysing more. Make sure you know what you are picking!

Not just what you are picking. Be sure that whoever you are buying from is a reliable source.

People have died from buying herbs on online sites that were packaged unresponsibly and contained deadly herbs like nightshade.

I buy my herbs from highly acclaimed health food stores or grow my own and dry them for later use.

Be sure to cross reference all information on herbs with at least three sources. Especially if you are going to be using them as a tea, slave, etc. Not only should you know what an herb is used for but also how to identify it. Pictures can be misleading and packaging can be mislabeled.

yeah thanks for all the info guys but can u tell me like how to actually mix them all like how would i that?

You can use many different things to mix them. Depending on how thick your potion is, you can stir it, mash it, bash it, grind it.

Any method you choose, really.

If you are working with water, you would want to boil the water, shut off the heat and then put the leaves/flowers/root into it and let it steep for about 5-10 min.
Roots should be grounded or chopped into small pieces. Blenders do this nicely.
Then strain the plant material out of the water by pouring it through cheesecloth or a coffee filter.

If you are working with vinegar, you combine all materials, then place it in a dark cool place for 3-7 days. Some take 2 weeks.
Then strain in a cheescloth or coffee filter.

If you are working with alcohol (only clear ones) you want to do the same as the vinegar. You can also do it in wine or saki.

Kitchen witches can make a meal into a magick spell. Which is why you should never eat or drink from a witch you do not trust! =)

This, and the lack of hygiene that some people possess, means that I do not accept food from people I do not know or who are not inspected by health inspectors.

smart

I forgot to add:- If in your potion you are working with water, boil it first. This cleanses it and results in a improved potion. :)
