Geocache Description:

Can you find all the ingredients for the Witch's Brew?

Esmerelda is preparing to make a pot of her Witch's Brew that she uses to treat her aching bones as the cold weather approaches. She needs to fill her cauldron with the perfect ingredients so she can move gracefully again and maintain her youthful green glow touched beautifully with a few warts. The ingredients can be found only in areas where the spirits dwell, especially around Halloween. Can you help her find all 13 items and follow the recipe so Esmerelda can maintain her beauty regimen.

Recipe From the Kitchen of: The Witches of Salem Cookbook
Servings: 2

Bat Wings
Slithering Snake - descaled
Poisonous spider - remove legs as they may cause indigestion
Skull of the Small Minded - republic or democratic doesn't matter
Jack O Lantern
Autumn Leaves - crumbled and season to taste
Pixie Skeleton
Witch's Finger - nail polish removed (yes, cannibalism in effect here)
Eyebeall - blue preferably but all others will suffice
Human Ear - remove earwax before boiling
Rat Tail - remove fur
Cat's head
Bloody human finger - thumbs are most tasty but use whatever you have readily available

Bring to a slow boil over extreme heat. Cover and let simmer for 2 days, stirring occasionally. When odor is putrid, brew is ready for consumption.
