4.0 out of 5 stars Not terrible
This is another one of those Anna Riva booklets that has information about many of the oils found in curio shops. I do like the facte that this book contains prayers to use with the oils one can find in the stores. Many times a shop might sell the Anna Riva oils or oils with a similar name but have no description of what work to do with the oil. This book gives the reader...

This is another one of those Anna Riva booklets that has information about many of the oils found in curio shops. I do like the facte that this book contains prayers to use with the oils one can find in the stores. Many times a shop might sell the Anna Riva oils or oils with a similar name but have no description of what work to do with the oil. This book gives the reader some basics relating to that work. All in all for the price it's not bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oils Used in Santeria, Vodoo and Brujeria., November 22, 2002
This review is from: Golden Secrets of Mystic Oils: Over 550 Oils and 1300 Spells (Paperback)
This is an okay book, I guess a good introduction of oils as sold in Botanicas and new Age Shops thought the country. The book is not a "How to Make Oils" but a guide to all those really good smelling oils used in Santeria and Voodoo. What I liked most about this book where the Invocations and Prayers thought the book, it is very universal, as you will find Christian, Voodoo, Santeria and even Asian prayers. I like the section of Anointing Oils over the body, seals, amulets and candles. Although it was briefly discussed, it gives you the basics of "How to".

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview, August 17, 2006
By 
This review is from: Golden Secrets of Mystic Oils: Over 550 Oils and 1300 Spells (Paperback)
What oil would I use for "having my way with any man"? What do I use St. Expeditus oil for? What kinds of oils could I use in an "Uncrossing Ritual". What would be the best oil to use for a candle burning ritual if I want to achieve success in my project?

Anna Riva put together in one small book all the various oils used by many different spiritual paths, and gives meaning to the sometimes very vague names of some oils that you will find on the market.

Most of these oils are blended, and you will find many of them in stores lining the shelves. But what would you use, say "Flaming Power" for? Or is there an oil that I can wear to bring out the best in me.

Many of these oils have been available for years, but if you are not familiar with their names or purpose, you may have passed by a very powerful addition to your spells and workings.

Note that this book does not contain formulas, but rather names of oils and their usages. There are also included some spells, prayers and Deities associated with these oils, so you can figure out how to utilize them in your own practices.

Anna Riva books cover a variety of spiritual paths, and are not limited to just pagan or Wiccan practices. That is the beauty of these books; they are good for anyone who picks them up.

Expand your magical working knowledge database with this book and learn a few new spells from "outside the box". I've been using some of these oils for years and it has done nothing but add to and augment my own practice. boudica

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Secrets of Mystic Oils, May 7, 2006
This review is from: Golden Secrets of Mystic Oils: Over 550 Oils and 1300 Spells (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for first time learners into the occult. It is a very simple book of oils that can be used on the body and any other objectives (mojo bags, voodoo dolls, candles and so on). Anna Riva is one of the best writers into teaching the occult; try to purchase all her books to be complete. Good Luck! Chelise , NYC

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone into mystical practices should own this book!!, January 23, 2008
This review is from: Golden Secrets of Mystic Oils: Over 550 Oils and 1300 Spells (Paperback)
This book has been in my family for years! I am a 3rd generation psychic READER and hoodoo worker who has a very successful clientele! 13yrs ago when I performed my 1st ritual/spell, I used this book. Since then it has become a part of my daily life. There are so many oils and spells in this book THAT REALLY WORKS its amazing! So many books tell you to do so many different things that mostly do not work, but this book gives you REAL SPELLS WITH REAL RESULTS! Example, look up the oil called LOTUS OIL, it gives you a complete ritual to make a man ACT on his love for you & I'll add that you should do this on a wanning or full moon, Friday night at 11:00pm ONLY! (night of venus of course)Try doing it 2 weeks in a row and add some STRONG LOVE OR ROSE INCENSE! ONE MONTH IN EXTREME EMERGENCIES ONLY. Lets just say I've had clients pay me up to $500 for their mates affections shown and this is the spell I use!!!!. Plus the supplies dont add up to $20!!TRUST ME ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IF YOU'RE A SERIOUS PRACTICIONER (ESPECIALLIF YOU DO THIS FOR A LIVING LIKE ME) YOU SHOULD USE THIS BOOK DAILY.!!!!! Another good tidBit about this book is that in the beginning of the book she explains how to use the oils on objects, yourself, candles and etc. TRUST ME DO IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!
This book is a must have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not list oil ingredients, June 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Golden Secrets of Mystic Oils: Over 550 Oils and 1300 Spells (Paperback)
The book lists 550 oils and what they are for with no index in the back(kind of a big to leave out when you have a list of 550). THE BOOK DOES NOT LIST INGREDIENTS,IT JUST ASSUMES YOUR TOWN HAS A GOOD OCCULT SHOP IN IT THAT WILL HAVE THEM(oh and under the same name). ALSO I COULD NOT FIND ANY DETAILED SPELL OR RITUAL DESCRIPTIONS. As a pagan I found this to be of no use to me and I felt like I was ripped off.
