Customer Reviews

the only one of its kind!

This is the only book I know of that deals with the magical use of aromatherapy. Scott Cunningham gives a huge list on diffrent scents. He tells you if it should be used as an oil, dried herb, seed, or fresh. He also tells you the precautions of each herb/seed/flower/oil. he also gives you an idea of how little or how much these oils will cost you. He also gives you the planetary power of each of these scents. Also in the back of this book you will find a few recipes of diffrent oil blends to use in your aromatherapy magic. This is a great book that deals on the subject of aromatherapy for magic.

Good things Come in Small Packages

For the price and the size this book wins hands down. It is a very thorough little book, and would be a great addition to anybody's magickal library. It is a wonderful section that is a mini encyclodedia of different plants and herbs used for aromatherapy, which lists the parts of plant used, ruling planet, and magickal uses. I do however, like any specific topic, think you should also read and refer to other sources if you are serious about persuing something. However, this is an excellent choice for a start.

The Most Comprehensive Mini-book ever!

Yes, and I mean it, if you want concentrated information about the uses of essence in ritual, you are looking for this book. It has all the neccessary and no unneccessary information, and I believe that this book is a stand-alone, even without the more extended books on aromatotherapy by Cunningham. You will find information about herbs, dried, fresh, aromas and pure essences, and when and how they can be used, and to what end. This little marvel has it all!

a wonderful resource

This book is a must have for any magical cabinet. The book not only tells you what scents to use for your spells but also things to be aware of (ie. toxic oils, natural v. sinthetic, etc.) if your are going to buy only one Aromatherapy book this should be it!!!!

Absolutely Wonderful!

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the magick of aromatherapy. Practical, easy directions using easy to find ingredients. I've been using this book since it was first published, THE RECIPES WORK!
