Pauline: Scott Cunningham was the first pagan author I read. I first read his Wicca and Living Wicca. I then went on to add several more of his books including this one.
This book is a great resource for making your own incense, and oils and brews :) These things can get pricey after awhile. Being able to buy the ingredients in bulk from somewhere like mountain rose herbs and then making your own is way more affordable.
Scott teaches you all you need to know about making your own and infusing them with your intentions. There are so many recipes in here with correspondences to match you are sure to find some you love. Some of the negative reviews dislike the book because of his use of salt peter, etc. You don't have to use these things. Take the book, learn the steps for making incense, with or without combustible ingredients and enjoy your creations.

Cynthia Scott: I'm not a huge Scott Cunningham fan. I don't know why since every book of his that I have has very useful information in it :) ! This one is very good. First let me address some others' complaints. That many of the incense recipes have similar ingredients. While this may be somewhat true the reason is that the bottom notes of an incense have to come from somewhere and it is not unusual for them to be similar in that there are only so many of them. Sandalwood being the most frequently mentioned. In the same fashion almost all recipes - food wise - start with onions, so too you need a base in both perfumery and incense making. Sandalwood IS in almost every incense (I don't mean in this book - although it is in many - but rather ALL incenses you buy whether you are buying rose incense or lemongrass because it needs a base note). Problem: Sandalwood isn't cheap nor is it easy to get but guess what Amazon happens to have a source!! And it's not too terribly expensive. Plus there is a cheap substitution for it if you don't wish to shell out the money for it (although it will be just as magically useful, it won't smell as good - still good though - just not AS good)..

As others...

JoanOfArt: This is one great book! Very helpful, lots of reference tools available inside and appendices that show you where to get more information. I love Scott Cunningham's books. I only recently discovered the wealth of information he has provided to the world on Wicca and Wiccan traditions - as well as natural healing, practical magic (magick), and "Incense, Oils, and Brews" - and I was thrilled to see in the foreword where the author reads letters from fans/readers, and quickly as equally disappointed to soon after learn that he had since passed away.

Buy any of Scott Cunningham's books on anything Wicca-related, and I guarantee you, you can't go wrong. Full of helpful information, and written in a way that is not only easy to understand but actually also a pleasure to read. This is not an easy statement to make about most reference-type books, but it is true of Scott Cunningham's works. He was not only a great practitioner of Wicca, but honestly, a great writer as well. I am so glad that he decided to pass on his personal information that he learned from dedicating most of his lifetime to the craft - to the rest of us, for our day-to-day use, life enrichment, and for the...
