Reliable Website for witchcraft research?

I'm working on a story about real witchcraft, like herbs, potions and all that stuff, and all I can find are websites about love potions and the like. So are there any reliable, well as reliable as you can get, websites?

I don't know about website but most big bookstores will have a section devoted to wican and druidic religions.

I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly, there being about as many forms of "witchcraft" as there are people, but Cat Yronwode has one of the best/most accessible resources for Hoodoo I've ever seen. You can find her book in web form on her web page at
http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html
Poking around the rest of the luckymojo site will net you some great info, too.
Contrary to Charmed, most witches I know don't go in for potions. Herblore, yes, but you'll find lots of that in Hoodoo, too. Medicinal teas, yes, or baths maybe. But not potions you drink (and certainly not throw) to create a desired outcome.

Ok, I'm looking for wicca resources, if that helps. Sorry about the potion thing, just about every I know about witchcraft is from Either Hollywood or Wikipedia. I did find a couple of interest books on Amazon so maybe that will set me straight.

Oddly you could always try Googling Wiccan groups and see what you get.
Most everything seems to be listed on the internet these days.
Or if you know any SCA people they might know a Wiccan or a Wiccan group.

Try the late Isaac Bonewits neo-pagan site.
