Witches' Brew

“The magic power of a witches’ brew is more a part of the literature and folklore of sorcery than of historical witchcraft” writes Rossell Hope Robbins in The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft & Demonology (1959). Witchcraft has changed a lot since the 1950s, let alone the Burning Times. The ways in which modern witches take part in magic is inspired by, but vastly different from, historical witchcraft.
