The Complete Book of Incense, Oils & Brews

Rating:
Summary: Another $11.00 for Scott Cunningham
Review: Dont get me wrong I like the book, but I think he could have condensed his books to two or three. He seems to repeat alot in each book. I have several and it seems he has written a book for each part of Magic and yet has no definative opinion.

Summary: The quintessential book on Oils, Incense, and others

Summary: Invaluable Reference Work
Review: This book belongs in every occultist's library. Cunningham has left no stone unturned in his presentation of correspondences and substitutions. The book consists of several sections, each devoted to a specific topic, i.e., incenses, soaps, oils, brews, etc. Each section is alphabetically subdivided by purpose, astrological and plantetary influences, etc. Included for the adventurous are some recipies from older grimoires, along with safer modern blends aimed at the same goals. The incense chapter alone is worth the price of the book. After reading it, you'll never be dependent upon headshop joss sticks and cones again. Also included is a listing of sources for materials. In short, this book is an invaluable reference work, and belongs on every practicing magicians's bookshelf.

Summary: Another good Cunningham text
Review: Like most of Cunninghhams' books, this is a no-nonsense text. Excellent for beginners, it also offers ample warnings regarding the more toxic herbs and other ingredients. A definite must for practitioner and beginning scholar alike.

Summary: Wonderful addition to your spellbook collection!
Review: This was one of my first books, and I still use it today. It clearly outlines how to create the tools necessary for your spells and rituals, and shows you how to create your own. A must for anyone first starting out.

Summary: This Is My Favorite Cunningham Work!
Review: If you're feeling compulsive and rigid in your spellwork, look no further than this book to zap some energy into your magic! Cunningham offers something more than a delightful compendium of recipes for everything from incense to ritual soaps to sachets--he tickles the imagination to come up with ideas even better than what he presents. His chapter on properly substituting ingredients is simply the best of its kind. Cunningham teaches that you need not have wood aloe or dittany of Crete in your magical pantry in order to work magic. A stellar reference!

Summary: Essential reference!
Review: This book should be on every practitioner's shelf. Great recipies and you are able to make substitutions, with the help of the tables in the back. Also good for beginners

Summary: A do-it-yourself manual that really works!
Review: Whether you are a novice in the field or a master you will enjoy Cunningham's book. He wrote a concise book that details how one can make incense, oils and assundry odds and ends for oneself. His instructions are clear and easy to follow (provided one can get all the ingrediants! <grin>). He put tables of substitution in the back of the book but if one is really serious about this field a good companion book would be _Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs_ which contains more detailed tables. I never worry about recommending one of Scott Cunningham's works. In fact, I just wish I could afford to have them all!
