Rating: Summary: The Best of The Best By Far from Scott Cunningham Review: I've work with this book soooooo many times, that any other book on the subject seems..well...small. Scott's books are always beginner friendly and right to the point. This book is truly a must have for those that want to do they're own incense.
Rating: Summary: 3.5 stars Review: This is a great book, but only if you have the necessary supplies (a mortar & pestle, (obviously)herbs, etc.) which can oftentimes be hard to find... if you dont have them then it is good to kind of scan through and get ideas of what you need to get...
Rating: Summary: great reference tool Review: This book is ideal for any wiccan. It has a vast variety of receipes and alternate uses. I use this book all the time.Scott Cunningham is a great author of wicca books. This is a must for everyone.
Rating: Summary: Necessary Reference Book Review: I did realize that many of these recipes were in other Scott Cunningham books, but I like them all here in this one handy volume. I find it an invaluable resource for ritual preparation, and I think the incenses created from it are beautiful and magical. It also gives you a handy table of appropriate replacements if you can't find one particular ingredient, which has saved the day many many times - comes in handy when you run out of that eye of newt ;)
Rating: Summary: The best of its kind! Review: I have seen no book on incenses, oils and such as great as this one. Anyone can do make these recipes, and I mean anyone. He even teaches you how to empower everything you make. Of sourse I knew how do do this for many years now, but for the beginner this is crucial. There is so many oils, sachets, potions, powders, incenses, soaps and tinctures to make here. If you want to know how to make any type of astrological oil its in here. If you want to know how to make Pele incense or Isis incense its in here! For those of you who want to learn how to make your own incenses and such or for those of you who are looking for more recipes, do not pass up this book. This is a true gem. Although I am not crazy about the title, how can anything be complete? in that respect the book is misleading. But its still a wonderful book to own.
Rating: Summary: Essential for any Wiccans library Review: As are all Scott Cunninghams books, this book is essential for all wiccans, eclectic, it goes with all traditions. You will love it.
Rating: Summary: The first step into a beautifull Skill Review: Scott has done it again with this book! He is well renown for his pagan books and now he has placed himself on the map of herbalism with this book.Scott takes the time to start you from the basics of herbalism to working you all the way to creating your own recipes. I Highly recommend this book to anyone just starting into the path of herbalism..
Rating: Summary: Lives Up To It's Title! Review: Has tons and tons of useful info! I think the part of the book I like best is the substitutions he gives. I have a few of his other books and they are also invaluable resources of information. If a person were to purchase this book, his book on herbal magick and his book on crystal, gem and metal magick, they'd have a fairly comprehensive magickal refrence set.
Rating: Summary: Good Primer Review: Not a bad book for those starting out with herbs and oils and the like. Easy to follow instructions and tips, typical of Cunningham's style. A good starting place to learn how to make your own items. Some of the recipes are quite impractical though.
Rating: Summary: A Brilliant book for herbalists, and witches! Review: One of the best magical recipee books there is! Greatly reccomeneded. Based on recipees containing magic.
