Circle of the Brew
Source: Hexbound
When mentioning the word witch, many instantly think of the witch druids belonging to the Circle of the Brew. After all, their practice is so well-known it has codified the general idea of witch.
Circle of the Brew witches worship nature and spirits equally, and use both in their witchcraft. They see the natural world as a giver of blessings, and it’s their duty to take those resources and transform them to suit their needs, and they do so with the help of spirits. They distill the natural and spiritual energies into powerful magical brews that they can then ingest or have others ingest to wondrous results.
Because of their unconventional practices and their insistence on changing and shaping the natural world to suit their needs, Circle of the Brew druids are the odd ones out of all the druid circles. They are the most likely out of all druids to live close to or even in civilization, sharing their magic with those who need it. Many Circle of the Brew druids become famed healers and apothecaries.
They fit perfectly, however, in the world of witch covens. Many Circle of the Brew druids are the designated healers and pharmacists in enormous covens, and they also tend to be among the richest witches because of their incredible magical potions.
Witchmark
Witchmarks for this witch’s druid circle are varied. Some take the form of their favorite ingredients, such as vines coiling around their limbs. Others look like soil covering their feet, representing their connection to nature and where they find most of their ingredients. There are also witches of this circle that have the recipe of the first magical brew they managed to make as their witchmark, emblazoned on their back or arms.
Master Brewer
When you reach 14th level, brewing holds no more secrets for you. When you prepare your spells after a long rest, choose one spell from the druid spell list that can only affect one creature. You can make magic brews of that spell so long as you have it prepared, even if it’s not on your circle spell list. You can change the spell you can make magical brews with at the end of a long rest.
