Recipe Books

Post by **MVTirado** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 7:36 am

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books that have recipes for oils, powders, incense, and such. I've been working for a number of years, and I JUST bought books on candle burning, casting and so forth. Although I've always just thrown together ingredients for oils and what have you, I've been wanting to find traditional recipes. I guess I'm wondering if there might a difference between whipping something up... and recipes that have been used for a long time.

The two books I purchased: The Master Book of Candle Burning, and Charms, Spells & Formulas (I'm not Wiccan, btw.) Although, the second book has a few recipes, it seems to be more or less an introduction to Hoodoo or something... containing a little bit of basic information about a number of things. But there are no recipes for Road Opener oil, for example... or other things I might be interested in.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I recently went to my town's bookstore and picked up $117.49 worth of books speaking about the craft too.

Two good books for magickal ingredients are "The complete encyclopedia of incense oils and brews." by Scott Cunningham and the other "The encyclopedia of magickal ingredients." by Lexa Rosean.

Personally I like Scoutt Cunningham's book better, because his book teaches you how to utilize the herbs and the tools you'll need, but to each his own. Another thing I noticed is that Lexa says she's a High Priestess of Wicca, but I've spotted two manipulative love spells in her book.
