Q: Where do Witches get "eye of newt"?

Eye of Newt is actually the name of an herb and some Witches use herbs for healing. In medieval times literacy was non-existent, thus these wise women, Witches, learned the regional names of herbs from their teachers. Different areas had different names for the same herbs. Unfortunately no one is certain what the modern name is for Eye of Newt.

Answer - Saint John's Wort.

Q: What can I do if a Witch casts an evil spell on me?
