They carried the same meaning but replaced the symbolism with Christian meaning. In Monasteries, the old spells were Christianised into new chants called ‘ blessings’. We know herbal medicine dates back to these earlier times, so a lot of the old spells were brought forward into the medieval world. In the earlier period or in more rural areas, wise women may have chanted something akin to a pagan chant or spell. The magic essence in potions was thought to be the words uttered over them, as well as the magical qualities of the life within the plant itself. This is where the overlap between potions and spells begins. This was seen to activate the healing properties and even bring in a healing spirit, like God, the Holy Spirit, or Christ to assist.

Real potions did have a magical element to them. Hildegarde von Bingen was one nun who defied convention and actually wrote her own book on herbal knowledge and medicine. Most of our knowledge of medieval cures comes from monasteries who recorded and documented their medicinal uses. Medieval monasteries were self-containing and so they had their own infirmity and herbal garden. Monks also dispensed herbal cures to those that could not afford to see a doctor. They also had extensive knowledge of plants and their medical benefits. Wise women turned to a life of medicinal potion-making because they were generally outcast from society, unable to do manual labour like working the fields. Wise women or “witches” as they later became known, made healing potions for everyday people that could often not afford to see a medieval doctor. Since potions were initially made in the early middle ages to heal, there were a couple of different people that made magic potions. Herbal medicine was freely available to all people and every village had at least one communal herbal garden. The first magic potions were concoctions made from herbs and plants to cure the sick. In the medieval age, potions were recorded down in detail and for the first time in history, we are able to know what our ancestors thought about plants and their magical healing abilities.
