Rating: Summary: An Indispensible resource Review: I use this book all the time for a reference it is easy to follow and the recipes are great for everything from incense to bath salts.
Rating: Summary: book for your collection Review: he does a great, easy to understand methods of making the things in the book. a must have.
Rating: Summary: Terrible Book Review: This book was written before much was known about incense making. The recipes contain Salt Peter which is never used by makers of quality incense. It creates Nitrous Oxides when burned.
Rating: Summary: Better than some, not as good as others... Review: Cunningham is in his element when he writes of beliefs, but when he writes (or writes with help, or is invoked) about other stuff, it tends to be less good. I'd recommend this book highly because it's the best book on the subject of oils and the rest, but, at the same time, how often do you use this stuff? I think another author should have a go...It's better than the similar ones on herbs and gems, though!
Rating: Summary: Great book Review: If you are looking for a book on Incenses, oils, inks, soaps and more this is an absolute on of better book made and good for beginners and advanced alike
Rating: Summary: Invaluable.....priceless.....timeless! Review: Another staple in any Witch's library (an excellent companion to Cunningham's book, "The Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs") that is well worth the money. Chock full of information, resources and recipes for anything and everything....you will not be sorry for purchasing this product. Highly, highly recommended without any sort of hesitation!
Rating: Summary: A great toy for the crafty. Review: I love to make stuff and this book has inspired my creativity. I love the section on soaps and incence. Although I would suggest not gettign too herby bacause some smells just don't mix. And not only am I enjoying a hobby I also save money by making these sacred potions and not going to a new age store to buy protection soap. And the goddess love tributes to her made from you heart and what better to offer the energies of the divine world than incence and inks made by you for you and for them. A must have for any crafty person.
Rating: Summary: A definite keeper Review: I don't give rave reviews to everything I read, but this book deserves it. It won't provide a detailed discussion on why herbs and essential oils work in magick, but it will give you tons of ideas to try. It's a recipe book, but it provides enough information that readers can develop their own formulas. At the back of the book you'll find lists of planetary correspondences, which herbs and oils work for which purposes, and, perhaps most importantly, a list of substitutions. The recipes section contains concoctions for most situations you'll encounter and a few recipes tossed in for historical interest. It also includes instructions for charging herbs and oils for anyone not familiar with the process.
Rating: Summary: This is a great book Review: Great details and easy to work with
Rating: Summary: GREAT! Review: THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE MAGICAL RECIPES. NOT ONLY INCENSE BUT SOAP, BATH SALTS, AND OTHER USEFUL RECIPES. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ. SCOTT CUNNINGHHAM IS A WONDERFUL WRITER AND IF YOU LIKE THIS BOOK, READ HIS OTHER BOOKS TOO!
