love potion

noun

a magical potion believed to arouse love or sexual passion toward a specified person, especially the person offering it.

Witches approached by lovesick clients would brew potions or use herbs in amorous spells. These were also effective, though arguably they worked because the users believed that they worked. Confidence is a great aphrodisiac. If a potion inspired that confidence, then it was indeed effective. Likewise, informing someone that they were under the effects of a potion could work as a strong disinhibitor, giving subjects an excuse for behaviour they’d rather like to indulge in anyway.

whether love potions are real or imagined, they are certainly a fun idea around Valentine’s Day. This sweet sterling silver hand forged potion bottle is set inside a tiny approx. 1/2” shadow box style frame on a silver tone 16” necklace.
