I’m a witch in a bottle, you gotta conjure me the right way!!! Today we are chatting about witch bottles! What are they? What do they do? Why is there urine in them!? So many scary things to cover in this crazy episode. So if you find a bottle under your hearth or threshold - leave it there and especially don’t taste the contents! It is not a genie bottle. And yes - finger and toe nails do contain DNA.
