More than just Incense, Oils, & Brews, this book gives the beginner a great foray into the art of aromatherapy, soaps, and sachets. This book is a quick read with more than enough recipes to blend incense, oil, and much more with purpose and intent. Although very informative, ultimately this will wind up on your shelf as a handy reference guide.

An influential witch I will always look up to. Scott never failed to educate witches around the world about various subjects, and this book is no different. Although times have changed since his herbal advice in this book, many of the recipes are still relevant and able to be recreated, maybe even easier now with more advanced technology, products etc.

He gives get recipes in this book about oils and incense. I like how Scott writes as a casual guy and straight forward with you. He does not try to flower or impress you. Just a friend who is sharing his technique.

I seldom review books of this sort, but in this case, I'm compelled to give credit where it's due.Hocus-pocus aside, many of these concoctions are actually quite pleasantly scented. A sufficiently entrepreneurial individual could use the information to supplement his/her income via cottage industry; hawking "Organic AirWick," (if you will), at craft shows, love-ins, and outpatient rehab clinics. ("Bean, radish, and sprout salad *again*? Aww, jeez! Guess we'd better burn a few of these -- and ope...

A good resource if you're interested in herbal magick, I'm definitely going to try a few of the recipes. Some of the ingredients are a bit out there but there's a whole chapter on substitutions that could be very useful ! Of course you can find endless lists of correspondences online, but personally I always like to be able to reference these things in books as well.

As with many of Cunningham's books, this is a primer for newer practitioners and older ones alike. Less a reading book than a recipe book that provides good information for the making of soaps, oils, tinctures, and such that is recommended. Only issue (and disclaimer) I had with the book is that it sets your expectation that this is a very Wicca heavy book and some of the preparation items are not needed for all who cast or follow the path.

Though Scott Cunningham is gone, his books and works are a mainstay in my library. His insight, guidance and brilliantly written books are with out saying. Once you read his work, I believe that you will feel the same.

A fantastic book for any practioner. Cunningham is the foundation for Neo Paganism. He helped shaped my practices tremendously, and I am so sad that he is no longer with us to continue writing great material

The 1-5 Star Review is the total of what I have to say about this book, specifically.Caveat: This review is historical/archival in nature. 'Date read' is speculative.This book is one of many books I have read about the occult/paganism/witchcraft. This was the readily available faith in my household as a child. Additionally, I worked for a company in this field, 2015-2016, and had to read an ocean of this stuff to do my job.Like televangelists, and snake-oil salesman, these publishers prey on the...

Fine reference guide for the practitioner of earth-based spiritualities.

I really like Scott Cunningham's style of writing and I think he is a very important person for the world of witchcraft. This book was very thorough in rituals, explanations, recipes and so on and so forth. However I feel like some information was slightly outdated and was not allowing much room for innovations for our modern times. I also liked that he has a wonderful view about witchcraft (aka it is not used for harm) but he did not impose it on his readers, he simply stated it was his own bel...

The complete book of Incense, Oils, & Brews is a wonderful guide to working with these practices. Like many of his other texts the author Scott Cunningham created a very useful and effective resource for working many different types of magical spells and rituals. This text works great in companion with his Aromatherapy book and his two Herbal Magic books-Herbal Magic and his Magical Herbal encyclopedia or it can be used effectively on its own as its own resource. The text provides a comprehensiv...

Finally purchased this book today, and I'm so glad I did. An invaluable reference book for working with herbs to mix incense, potions and ritual baths. Will surely be a very well used addition to my occult bookshelf.

An excellent resource. But I've found that that is all that this book is: a quick reference. While I enjoy having that at hand I would have rather seen Cunningham dive a bit deeper into the meaning, symbolism, and history of some of the incense/oil combination he provides.

Difficulty Level: BeginnerNo magickal background necessary.Pros:- It's an occult/Pagan classic.I believe this book was written for Pagans in general, and would be useful for Pagans. However, just know that it's written from a Wiccan perspective.Make sure that you have the second edition, as it's longer and better organized.I highly recommend getting the ebook, so you can quickly find what you need.- Written for practitioners at any level.This is a how-to book on using magickal herbs, spices, etc...

Cunningham gave me the start I needed to begin to understand how to channel energy with herbs and scent. This book is a primer without being too elementary. I highly recommend this book to those whose craft is amplified through scent.

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

I think every budding Wiccan/Witch has owned this book at some point. Scott Cunningham was the author many of us were introduced to during the "Wicca Boom" of the 90's. Don't let the age of the text put you off, however. Even advanced practitioners might find the simple recipes, with generally easy to acquire ingredients, useful for a working. This is a nice addition to any library.

Another great book from Mr. Cunningham.It's pretty much summed up in the title.There are some great combinations in this book. Explanations as always are clear and concise!Always a pleasure reading his works.Enjoy!

To this day this is my go-to book for anything herbal when it comes to incense Brews and potions. it has everything you need and more if you really want to be a green witch kitchen witch Etc. That being said there other books that are just as good but this is definitely the book if you want a good foundation on Herbal Magic. It cuts all the fluffy stuff and gives you the nitty-gritty and the reality of it.
