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.

Collapsible Cauldron

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to take a cauldron with you wherever you go by reducing it to the size of a thimble. As an action, you can collapse or expand your cauldron from its thimble size to its full size, or vice versa. It takes a minute for the cauldron to complete the collapsing or expanding process. The cauldron’s weight when collapsed in its thimble form is negligible, and in its expanded form it weighs 70 lbs. You can make any cauldron worth at least 20 gold pieces become a collapsible cauldron by concentrating on it for 1 hour. Once a new cauldron becomes collapsible, the old one loses its collapsible property and reverts to its full size if it was in thimble form.
