As a closing note, this book should not be seen as the only book necessary for a thorough knowledge and understanding of potions and the art of brewing. It should instead be seen as a basic introduction for young witches and wizards who seek to learn the foundations of the craft within Great Britain and throughout Europe. The author has also yielded a brief glimpse at other traditions of potions, many of which are no longer in existence or are disappearing relatively rapidly. Although many of these brewing styles and habits are not necessary for a witch or wizard planning on living wholly in Europe, the author thinks it important to understand whence current knowledge came, and what impacted its growth.

In continuing a quest for knowledge of potions and ingredients, the author recommends books by noted experts Libatius Borage, Phyllida Spore, Zygmunt Budge, Tallara Elsey, Ahmed al-Bihayawi, and Kim Hea-Jung.

Finally, the author wishes readers happy brewing, and to mind your stirring technique!
