some personal experances

(excuse spelling) I have tried making and useing about 10 or 12 of these blends. Lattly I'v found that alot of these oils can be used for intentions slitly different from the stated ones. for instence. Knowlege oil- is suppost to encreese your wisdom but I found it totaly unhelpfull for studying. however I have found it usefull for atracting people who want to learn from me Enchantment oil- does lessen bordom and make life temperarly more exciting it also incresses sexual excitment some what. which was not stated. Bend Over oil- I did not get the results I excpected I wanted to get my teacher to respect me more. it did not work for that but maybe her blend is supposed to be used only in sexual situations. I have had great luck making these oils for freands the best was Gardian Angel which smells as sweet and pure as its name, and brought great comfort to my freand these are only a few examples. there are definatly over a 100 or more blending formulars for you to play around with even if you don't use it that often its worth the price of the book. essental oils are expensive. be sure you realy want to work with them before you disside to use them as your primary tool( most herbs are cheaper). what another reviwer wrote was desseptive there are plenty of opertuitys to use real essental oils in this book but also the other reviwer was right that some of these oils like Rain or Opium have no real essental oil conter part. if your realy dead set on useing only naturl substanses you can create your own essental oil substute out of oils that smell to you like "rain". sintetic oils are no more a threat to the envirment than the sinthetic dies we use every day in our clothing and we make much less sinthetic fragrencecs. as to wether they are dangourus to put on my skin nobody knows whether synthitc products are obsorbd in to the skin with harmful effect. if they are we are all in truble because most skin cream contain pertroleam. so a synthetic fragrence whould be about the same risk as a skin lottion. personly I'm working on collecting more real essental oils verses synthitic because I'v found they are more powerfull (theoriticly they contain the Deva or spirit of the plant they came from) but snythitics work to, as the power of magic comes from its effect on the soul and mind not realy the tools you use. enjoy this book.

One of the greatest wiccan formularies

With reference to wiccan, pagan, voodoo and santeria, this book is just about the best when it comes to mixing oils, baths, candle dressings, etc. Lady Rhea, who now owns a spiritual supply shop in the Bronx, was for many years, the chief apothecarian at the now-defunct Magickal Childe in New York City, which before it closed, was perhaps the largest earth religion hub in the world.

A keeper

I admit to having a soft spot in my heart for a good spellbook, and this is one is one of the best. The formulas are easy and easily customized. One thing. . . some of the formulas are best made if you have the true essential oil, but some of the formulas lend themselves to use of synthetics, especially since there is no essential oil called "opium", and the use of true musk or civit would not be cost effective or kind to animals. I like that formulas are written for all 10 planets, not just the classical 7, and there are nice formulas written for dieties such as Ganesha, Tara, Kali, and Durga. Of course there are many formulations for love no matter what your relationship style. Some of the formulas may be very simular to other books of this type, but the differences are enough to feel that the material presented here is fresh and new. I also like the fact that the author provides some personal commentary throughout the book, to give the formulas added depth and meaning.

Great book!

I simply love this book. It is backed with formulas for every possible situation. If you truly understand the lore behind some of these oils: you could easily see the power behind these formulas. The ONLY disappointment with this book is that the author doesn't give the reader the Numerology behind the formulas. For example, potions are given in 1/3, 1/8, 10 drops etc. You wonder how these measurements add to the potency of the formulas, or if they help at all. I still gave the author 5 stars just because her formulas are excellent. She also packs the book with hundreds of formulas. You can plainly see the huge amount of work she put into making this book. I especially love the Hindu God/Goddess formulas the author gives. She gives formulas for Tara, Lakshmi, Ganesha and more. I can't say enough good things about this book. I highly recommend it!

Pure Perfection

This is by far The Greatest how to book I have read. Items listed in the book are easily accessible and the formulas are superb. I know for a fact that some of the strongest and most powerful spiritualists in the country swear by this book! The Enchanted Formulary has and will serve as a Bible for mixtures .. This is an ideal book both for the seasoned professional as well as anyone simply looking to experience a little something new. BTW: the smartest purchase I've made this year!
