Boo, witches.

Today we're opening a door that maybe should have stayed closed.

Join River as she dives into the grossest ingredients ever used in historical magic. Animal hearts, bones, teeth, hair, blood, grave dirt, and more all played important roles in magical traditions around the world. But these ingredients weren't chosen just to be creepy—they carried symbolic meanings that reveal how people understood magic, energy, and the world around them.

Discover the fascinating principles of sympathetic magic, learn why these strange ingredients made sense to our ancestors, and find out how modern witches accomplish the same goals without carrying around a pocket full of body parts.
