This is the only book I know of that deals with the magical use of aromatherapy. Scott Cunningham gives a huge list on diffrent scents. He tells you if it should be used as an oil, dried herb, seed, or fresh. He also tells you the precautions of each herb/seed/flower/oil. he also gives you an idea of how little or how much these oils will cost you. He also gives you the planetary power of each of these scents. Also in the back of this book you will find a few recipes of diffrent oil blends to use in your aromatherapy magic. This is a great book that deals on the subject of aromatherapy for magic.

Book is a great reference of scents. It begins with the use of scent and how inhaling certain herbs and essential oils can effect our moods and outcomes in life. It has different methods and techniques to gain specific results with aromatherapy. Includes recommended aromas for days of the week, seasons, lunar cycles, elements, planets, and zodiac. It also contains a list of oil and plant distributers for your harder to find items. Also includes a pretty big reference guide of the aromas and their uses. Very handy to have around. I know I will be referring to it time and again.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the magick of aromatherapy. Practical, easy directions using easy to find ingredients. I've been using this book since it was first published, THE RECIPES WORK!

For the price and the size this book wins hands down. It is a very thorough little book, and would be a great addition to anybody's magickal library. It is a wonderful section that is a mini encyclodedia of different plants and herbs used for aromatherapy, which lists the parts of plant used, ruling planet, and magickal uses. I do however, like any specific topic, think you should also read and refer to other sources if you are serious about persuing something. However, this is an excellent choice for a start.

This book is a must have for any magical cabinet. The book not only tells you what scents to use for your spells but also things to be aware of (ie. toxic oils, natural v. sinthetic, etc.) if your are going to buy only one Aromatherapy book this should be it!!!!

Yes, and I mean it, if you want concentrated information about the uses of essence in ritual, you are looking for this book. It has all the neccessary and no unneccessary information, and I believe that this book is a stand-alone, even without the more extended books on aromatotherapy by Cunningham. You will find information about herbs, dried, fresh, aromas and pure essences, and when and how they can be used, and to what end. This little marvel has it all!

this book tells about different scents,how to use them for magick,and what ones are dangerous and should not be used. i highly reccomend this book

I must disagree with the person who said that this is the only book on aromatherapy you will ever need, I have quite a few and most are more informative. The only information that you do not find in the standard aromatherapy book is the correspondance section, (Lunar, day, astrological, elemental, etc). I found this book to be less informative then Cunningham's "The complete Book of Incense, oils, and brews". But as a starter aromatherapy book or supplement to his other books it would be a good choice.

Love this one also, hard to find book that really breaks everything down to the smallest degree to get info across, like all his other info books, very informative, also lets you know some things are toxic and should not be tampered with and how others are irritants.

Easy to read, very interesting, you can't stop reading. Brings a lot of knowledge to understand what is all about. Very well written! Makes you want to buy all the herbs/scents in the world! And start practicing your healthy life :)
