About Eye of Newt: Witchcraft Names for Herbs and Plants

"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble."

In William Shakespeare's famous play Macbeth (1606), the witches stir "eye of newt," "toe of frog," and other strange and seemingly bizarre ingredients into their cauldron. These popular lines from Macbeth actually refer to a series of plants and herbs considered to have magical properties, and as such, were mentioned covertly by utilizing somewhat grotesque "codenames" such as "eye of newt" and "toe of frog." Other witches "in the know" would be able to translate or interpret these codenames into the appropriate herbal ingredients for their recipes and spells.
