Magickal brews What would a B. O. S. be without witch’s mystical beverages laced with magick drink one to increase power of a spell, another to help manifest a vision of magickal arts or one just to feel witchier. Serve magickally oriented brews from a silver cup, the color of the moon. If possible prepare them in a cauldron, with three legs representing the threefold God/Goddess, and if you happen to cackle while preparing these all the better (think of it like whistling with an attitude) Prepare these beverages during the full of the moon, or at a time suited to your specific magickal goal Blessed Be Lady Sylvar Moon MYSTIC BOWL -
