- Eye of Newt. This one is not likely to go down well with the RSPCA.
- Skin of Toad. See comment above.
- Deadly Nightshade. If a witch offers you a herbal drink do find out what is in it first.
- Digitalin. A witch can never have enough poisons...
- Apples. Big ones ideally which she can embellish with a nice red colour.
- Needles and thread for spinning wheels. For those occasions when some stupid princess wanders in and takes too close an interest in what you're up to.
- Red shoes. Everyone needs something to dance in and enchanted red shoes really are something else. Not only do you get to dance with death in them, you will dance to your death in them! (The really smart witch gets a load of shoes in, puts spells on them and then palms them off on her enemies).
- Dwarf repellant spray. After that unfortunate Snow White incident, most witches are very wary of dwarves and wear this spray at all times. It does nothing against a dwarf's axe though so most witches still use curses to defend themselves against dwarf attack.
- Cat food. For their familiars of course.
- When the need arises, new brooms. Witches do not make do and mend here. Given they fly on the things, if a broom goes wrong it can prove fatal so witches take no chances here. As yet there is no equivalent of the MOT available for brooms. The moment there is, some witches at least will take the chance to save themselves some expense and get their brooms fixed. In the meantime, it is always a case of must fly, must have new decent broom.
I should add these ingredients are not, to my knowledge, available from Ocado (other online delivery services are available as they say...). Nor do you want to get in the way as your average witch collects these. You will pay badly for it.
