Interesting post, Fjall, a healing box. Are you able to get information on the 9 types of trees of which the 9 healing knobs on the outside of the box are made, and also of what substance the charcoals are made (and is each charcoal different, or of the same substance)?

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Cheers.

I haven't found that information anywhere, but I think it doesn't have to be certain types, just 9 different.

The witch doesn't neccesarily need to ride on a broom. Pretty much any tool from the home could be used.
Try a fence, goat or your husband!
