Have you ever wanted to make a magic 'potion'...? Did you know it's not as hard as you think? There are tons of potions that can be made and consumed the same way you may steep and cozy up with some tea. Yes, teas are really the magic potions we read about in fairy tales! Tea leaves and certain herbs have been recognized for their magickal, as well as medicinal, qualities throughout the ages and can be made into teas or herbal infusions to bring in improved conditions. Whether or not you consider yourself a 'witch' or a Wiccan, these herbs I am about to share with you are naturally beneficial to the mind and body; and can also work for anyone with an open mind.

Until next time,
