*tastes potion like a chef testing the soup* hm. needs more eye of newt.
this is hilarious + its even funnier if u kno that eye of newt is probably mustard seed
so who else was today years old when they learned that “eye of newt” is mustard seed and not the literal eye of a newt or am i just dumb
Theres even more beyond eye of newt
no wonder my potions never work the way they should
I’m sorry, but this is completely fake. You will not find any of these ‘folk names’ in any herbal written before the 1980s, because they were all made up by modern authors.
The idea that the Macbeth potion ingredients were just plants is the invention of US Wiccan Scott Cunningham who wanted to rehabilitate the historical figure of the witch, including Shakespeare’s fictional ones.
