Potions, Oils, and Elixirs
Every witch has a cauldron, though some look suspiciously like coffee mugs. Here, we gather recipes for transformation — potions brewed from earth, water, and imagination. From protection oils to lunar elixirs and aromatic perfumes, these blends bridge science and spellcraft.
This archive preserves recipes passed down through folklore, apothecary manuals, and kitchen witch tradition. You’ll find detailed instructions for blending herbs, resins, and essential oils according to intent, planetary timing, and ritual use. Each concoction is both potion and prayer — a sensory spell you can hold in your hands.

Alchemy begins when you remember that scent and taste are spells, too.
When you stir your potion, stir clockwise for creation, counterclockwise for release, and always with intention.
Your kitchen is an altar; your craft, a sacred chemistry.
Drink wisely — every sip carries a story.
