A work in progress. It is upsetting me so I will be back maybe tomorrow. Good night.


Witches Herb List

 

Some herbs we can cook with and stir our magic into our food, others we cannot. They are there for us to work our magics in other ways. Please, do the research on each one. There are many varieties of each, and we want to make sure it is exactly what we want, and we don’t want to harm anyone with our food. It just depends on what we are doing.

 

Some herbs you will find in the Kitchen and/or the Witches cabinet, just keep the poisonous ones in the cabinet away from the cooking herbs!

Here is a list of thirteen herbs and such:
