Hey guys, I am presently culling together some research for a class and book I'd eventually like to write all about potions and potion-crafting! Anyway, part of that project is to research the history of potions and potion-making, and how it came to be associated with witches and witchraft in as many cultures as possible. So...I was wondering if anyone could recommend any secondary or primary sources worth reading that may contain such info.? Even pagans created potions, as I understand, which I want to investigate (for example, the Greels apparently used violet petals in love potions); though I always want to investigate any plausible shamanic and tribal antecedants for potion-crafting and usage or belief. So, again, anyone know of any sources that I might turn to as I begin this research?

Take Care,
Wade
