Cupid’s Concoctions
Author: Peter Breslin Source: Santa Fe Reporter (NM)
Title: CUPID’S CONCOCTIONS
  “Yet mark’d I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower…maidens call it love-in-idleness…The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid, will make man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees.”
So claims Oberon in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, echoing centuries of creepy crones, wizards and shady apothecaries all promising an elixir to call down Cupid. Surely, in our cynical, scientific, deterministic times, romantic love has been discredited by screenwriters and behavioral scientists alike; the promise of a love potion has all but disappeared.
Not so! Love potions, herbs and oils are a booming business; love rituals, spells and other shenanigans intended to inflame the heart of the beloved (or at the very least catch his or her attention) abound.
As for rituals of love, who better to ask than a witch?
