Although times have since changed, many of the recipes are still relevant and able to be recreated, maybe even easier now with more advanced technology, products, etc.

Not necessarily for beginners. I got this when I first started researching and it was too much for me at the time. I'll have to pick it up again later.

A key book for anyone new to making incense, oils, brews and more. Scott Cunningham does a great job explaining basic information in a very easy and understandable manner. At the same time, it’s information-packed, to the point and valuable. This book contains proper warnings, a solid glossary, principals of changing and adapting recipes and more. It’s a classic and a good book for practitioner of every level. Even if you are not interested in witchery or rituals, it’s one of the top books about essential oils, herbs, oils, brews, incense and more.

There's alooot of information in this book and I will definitely reference back if I need any inspiration, and it gives an awesome intro to making incense, brews, oils, even soaps and satchels. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it can drag on a bit. But a great amount of information!

Good resources and knowledge. The book is full of simple explanations and basic stuff and at the same time, more compliment stuff. I also love the list of ingredients that you can switch and in what form ( whole, powder,.....)
Is a great book for somebody who has just started and at the same time great inspiration for somebody who already has some experience.

Well I requested this from the local library in an attempt to learn more about modern day witch craft and its practice (which, of course, has more in common with how witch craft has always been practiced than most people think). Between the time I requested the book and the time I got around to actually sitting down with it and reading it, I've come to some conclusions.
Everyone should practice their craft, should they choose to practice it, their own way. My strengths do NOT lie in cooking and brewing things. That, and I'm allergic to many different types of plants. Yeah, for safety reasons whipping up my own incense and playing with burning charcoal bricks is probably not in anybody's best interest, and I'm okay with that. I also worry because my kids have allergies, and we have a houseful of cats, and some essential oils and strong scents are not good for them to breathe in over extended periods. I would rather not take the chance.
But, if you are into this sort of thing, and want to make your own incense and essential oils, bath bombs and other things, and want to put positive intention behind the making or usage of those things, well, this book certainly has a great deal of information. It just wasn't a good fit for me personally.
