Practical Witchery - Organize and Label Your Supplies.

Dear Reader,

If your witchcraft practice includes herbs and plant parts, it's positively vital to keep things organized. On the plant, the berries of nightshade are fairly easily identified. You have the rest of the plant to go by. Off the plant and dried, nightshade looks a like any other dried tiny red berry. This has potentially lethal consequences if you like to make herbal teas and you're including some manner of dried tiny red berry. There's a reason why they call it deadly nightshade, after all.

Not only is it important to organize and label your herbs but how you have your other supplies stored away. Magically charged rock salt is going to be different from uncharged rock salt. Both are completely different from table salt and sea salt. Ideally, it is good to keep all of your magical supplies in one location which makes them easier to access when you want to use them. I highly recommend a cabinet that is relatively cool, in indirect lighting, and secure from little hands. After all, you don't want a curious child to find out about nightshade berries.
