My Little Mate
The term philtre is also used, often specifically for a love potion, "supposed to be capable of exciting sexual attraction or love"
In mythology and literature, a potion is usually made by a magician, dragon, fairy, or witch, and has magical properties. It is used for various motives including the healing, bewitching, or poisoning of people. For example, love potions for those who wish to fall in love (or become deeply infatuated) with another; sleeping potions to cause long-term or eternal sleep (in folklore, this can range from normal REM sleep to a deathlike coma); and elixirs to heal/cure any wound/malady. *
