The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews

By Scott Cunningham

One of the secrets of real magick is that it is controlled by the mind. The more elements in your ritual that help your mind associate with your goal, the more powerful your working may become. Colored candles, scented oils, natural incenses, and more all add to the impact of the magick you wish to perform. But how do you know which incense to burn? Is it possible to combine scented oils to create something stronger? And how do you make your own appropriately scented tools?

The answers to these questions and hundreds more can be found in The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews by world-famous author Scott Cunningham. This is a greatly expanded and rewritten version of The Magic of Incenses, Oils and Brews. It includes over 100 new formulas, proportions for each element of the recipes, one of the most requested features from his previous book, along with guidance on substituting ingredients and much more. Beyond the formulas, it also includes the exact methods for creating these scented tools, including how to extract essences from herbs.

Each formula in this magickal reference is precise and accessible. For example, a working for luck may call for 2 parts vetivert, 2 parts allspice, 1 part nutmeg, and 1 part calamus, ground together as finely as possible. The powder is then sprinkled in a circle around you, beginning and ending in the East and moving clockwise. Sit within this circle and absorb the energies. Additional methods for working with powders are also included, encouraging you to develop your own practices.

There is an extensive collection of incense recipes, including three for the Sun, two for consecrating talismans, and many aligned with astrological signs, study, success, and planetary influences. There are even four dedicated to Saturn alone.

This compendium of magickal lore is a vital tool for every practitioner, whether you are beginning your path or refining an established practice.
