Potions

 Originated in the old Greece, the love potion was made of calf brain, wolf tail hair, bones of a snake, barn owl feathers, and organs from cadavers,which had to mix in a large pot placed on a bonfire. Order to be effective,it had to be prepared in the moment of new moon and only after doing invocations and offerings to the godnes of the love,Aphrodite.
