Most the people that went to the witches of old for help with a potion to cure or make someone fall in love with them were told to gather certain ingredients. They were made to do so, because the energies used in gathering the ingredients helped with the spell/potion. It wasnt the ingredients that were important it was the energy put into finding and collecting them. Another reason they were made to gather the ingredients it because som eof the people that went to the witches for help were actually there to get proof of the crime of witchcraft so that the witches could be persecuted. If the people/client didnt gather the materials nothing was done and there was not proof. Conversely, if they did gather the ingredients, they took part in the magic/k, and thus would be guilty of the crime themselves. It was both a help to the client and a form of added protection for the witch... Just thought you guys might like to know that if you didnt already...
