4.0 out of 5 stars Wealth of magickal oil formulas though not necessarily accurate, October 27, 2009

If you are looking for lots of magickal oil formulas, in this book you can find recipes for every occasion, and you can have endless fun mixing the oils.

On the other hand, most of the recipes in this book ask for fruit or flower oils which may be only available in synthetic form. If you like to mix only natural oils, you may have to do more experimenting with natural oils to bring out similar scents.

Some formulas in this book are very different from traditional recipes - for example Van Van, which traditionally contains Lemongrass and several other grass oils, in this book is changed to vanilla, rose and almond - which doesn't come even close to the traditional Van Van oil.

And while the more you know about oils, herbs and scents, the more will you know what and when to substitute, many times your nose may guide you - so if you are concocting oil for love, if it smells like love to you, it may be just good enough for your purpose, or if you are creating a money oil, and it smells like money to you, it may just work all the magic you need it to do for you.

If you are mixing oils to summon different deities and energies, perhaps you should better double check these recipes with those that are used traditionally and for that matter before you are summoning anything, make sure you know inside and out what is it that you are summoning, to avoid any unpleasant surprises. This book contains variety of oils used in Voodoo and in Hoodoo, and traditional recipes are made out of natural roots and herbs, so this book may not be the best guide if you are looking for authentic recipes.

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars fragrance oils, February 14, 2009

This review is from: The Enchanted Formulary: Blending Magickal Oils for Love, Prosperity, and Healing (Paperback)

This book contains 122 recipes of love oils. Two of them is possible to do with essential oils found in a well sorted store. But not even these two is affordable for most people, since there main ingredidients are jasmine and rose oils. To do the blends in this book you have to rely on synthetic fragrances. Synthetics are bad for the enviornment and usually not made for use on the body. Synthetic musks, wich is added to most love-recepies in this book is very bad both for the earth and for humans.

The author doesn't have a sound knowledge of herbalism at all. As an example she writes that vetiver is the root of the patchouli-plant. There are a few sound recepies in there, but how would you know wich was wich if you don't have a lot of herbal and fragrance experience from the beginning.

I hope people don't take this book as knowledgeble and I hope people selling oils in the pagan/magick community in the future will know more about what they do then this. This book is about someone learning a recipe "Bomba bamba" from a questionable man (Herman Slater) changing one synthetic say melon to another say almond in the original Bomba bamba, resulting in the blend 3/4 rose oil (synthetic) 1/4 almond (synthetic) and some drops of rain perfume oil and smelling what it smells like. If it's okey, then out in the store as a protection formula.

There is also a lack of knowledge about how the hoodoo oils with a specific name is used, and the ingredients are not traditionally right either.

This book however has a very well written article by Michael Lloyd entitled "The history of oils"
