Summary: Packed with information.
Review: Mr. Cunningham teaches you how to make your own incense, annointing oils, tinctures, bath salts, ritual soaps, and much more.

Mr. Cunningham places asterisks beside dangerous plants Beladonna, Foxglove, Henbane, mistletoe and others. and in almost every case gives alternate recipes so you can get similar results without using toxic materials.

Summary: This is another of those, don't think about it, JUST BUY IT
Review: Ok, here we go: are you a Witch? are you interested in oils, incents, and brews? if you answered yes to any of the above, then buy this book.

Cunningham has created an easy to read and understand book while at the same time he is providing valuable information. No one single book is going to answer all your oils, incents, or brew questions. If one book could do all that it would weigh about 50lbs and cost some serious money.

So, if you want to know about oils, incents, and brews then this is one of those books that you really should own. Blessed Be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The be-all, end-all herbal reference!
Review: Cunningham has compiled an excellent reference book for anyone interested in Aromatherapy, Homeopathy, Wicca, Paganism, Kitchen-Witchery, or just plain do-it-yourselfers that find store bought products either too expensive or lacking in their ability to suit a specific need. The substitution tables in the back of the book alone are worth the price of the book, but the recipies he offers are also quite a delight for the mind and the senses. The feeling of accomplishment one recieves from creating their own products is wonderful, and they make great gifts as well, with that honest, heartfelt touch people love. If you are thinking of toying with herbal blends, this is the perfect place to start. If you don't have what is called for, plenty of other choices are offered, and, once you begin to build up a good supply of herbs, this book offers options for all sorts of different conditions. If it weren't for this book, I would never have started making incense. Now people are asking me to teach them! I owe it all to this wonderful book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent, but.....
Review: An excellent book that is well worth having in your library. Its only shortfall is the lack of background information on many of the more difficult to obtain and/or less common herbs. A list of common substitutions for these rarer herbs would also be useful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb, truly superb
Review: I got this book at a yardsale when I was first considering the practice of witchcraft. You cannot believe how great this book made me feel. It showed that , I too, could do magic and spells even though I couldn't go out and get all of the expencive herbs and roots. This book is a blessing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful reference! Belongs on any spiritualists bookshelf
Review: This is one of my most-referenced books. Wonderful recepies, and lots of good data on 'singles' as well. If you're interested in aromatherapy, magick scents of any kind, or just pleasant incense, this is a great book to have on your shelf. Can't recommend it enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: verry helpful and useful
Review: This book helped me alot and started me off on aromatherapy. It has many, many recipes, all of which I really enjoyed. From it you may learn what each oil or herb can be used for magickally. I still use it and refer to it very often (at least once or twice a week). It contains information about Incences, Oils, Soaps, Ink, Ointments, and, it held a very good substitution table, I have not seen a better one in any book yet. This is the best book I have found on magickal aromatherapy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "It is not wath ones hope"
Review: It is not stops nascent.The information that it has is very complete for the people who have been long time within the magic. Some materials are not easy to find. There are prepared better books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good news, bad news
Review: I have to give this book very mixed marks. It contains a whole lot of recipies, but the information on the ingredients is a lot too skimpy. One major fault is the failure to clearly note the oils which can be unsafe to use on skin.

Also note that he didn't sufficiently stress that a mixture destined to be used on skin should NEVER be used full strength!

I bought it hoping for clear advice on massage oils and was certainly disappointed. I'll definately find the correspondences useful but overall, I don't consider it to be on a leve with his herbal books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must
Review: a very informative book for those who wish to learn more about making oils, soaps, incense and other practical wiccan essentials.
