The Underground

It really isn't a difficult endeavour. She has access enough to money when she needs it, and favours are always good to trade. So, with incentive and materials offered, witches can always be found to brew potions.

And Lagertha has them brewed then dried. The dry ingredients go into a tin and a few pouches. From there, she only needs to put a little of the mixture or a single pouch into either loose leaf tea or into store containers of it.

Just a season's greetings from the Other Realm.

And perhaps a little bit of a reminder to the Night Council that fae do not take well to being ignored when the time for invitations to be sent comes.

Puppy love: Tea brewed with this mixture in it causes innocent, harmless attraction, very much a 'crush.' It lasts for about a week, depending on how much tea was consumed, but it generally only manifests with mild nervousness, some daydreams, and other such symptoms.

True lust: This effect is far more carnal. The sex driver of the drinker increases dramatically with a single association as a focal point. Reckless behaviour is noticeably more likely, and such things as climbing a wall to gain (welcomed) entry is extremely possible.

Only you: The darkest of the displays of attraction, this causes those under its influence to need to possess the object of their desire. Mind, body, and soul are all yearned for. Those who fall under its sway are prone to stalking, aggressively chasing away perceived rivals, and possibly even resulting in violence against others or the object of their "affection."

Generally, the object of devotion, in any case, is the first person seen or interacted with after having consumed the laced tea.
