The thing I like most about our magickal way of life and working magick is that some spell ingredients can be quite hard to find and finding them is almost like a mini quest. For me spells seem to be that much more powerful if I have gone out there and gathered the ingredients myself rather than buy them. It is probably because of the energy you expend in your quest is already being transmitted into the objects you find before you have even cast the spell, making it that much stronger.
