This book is beautifully designed. There is a wealth of information and detailed instructions on how to make incense, oils, papers, candles and more, along with why and how to use these tools. It's packed full of great recipes, and most of the ingredients used seem to be readily available. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love every section. I can't decide which do to first between paper, ink and candles.The book goes into details about not only what tools you will need, but also what each ingredient represents or can be used for. There is a lot of history here which makes each recipe even more special. There are in-depth descriptions about each section and recipes.You get so much more from this book. The author has really done her research and I can't wait to try every single recipe.

I bought this because my daughter was one of the photographers. It’s a beautifully illustrated book!

I have a pretty extensive book collection but I LOVE this book - I think it's well written & it makes a bright and engaging read- wonderfully illustrated !

As a practitioner I have to be honest there’s some misinformation in the book and it readsas a curated collection on how to craft all the aesthetically pleasing items that merchants sell on Etsy or instagram. Rituals are simply lacking, and some ingredients missing. Good for a “cook book" of aesthetics lacks depth, and some misinformation on the occult symbols in particular are a cause for concern. I have no doubt the author has some plant knowledge, but should focus on what they know, instead of trying to create an assemblage of what's popular in the occult community using buzz words and symbols with little background. By adding multiple traditions in to one book it loses depth and comes off as a pinterest guide. That said, the photography is beautiful!

I love her books 🩶 Highy recommend for my fellow Pagans.
