I bought this because I expected there to be recipes for making soaps, my own healing & bathing products, experimenting with older recipes & so on. The rave reviews for these recipes must be from someone who has NEVER written their own chant, or read a single other Wiccan-type book, and has such a short-term memory problem they don't realize almost all the recipes, even--or especially--the Healing &/or Magick Intended use the EXACT SAME INGREDIENTS in about 80% of these so-called recipes!
Lastly, there is one recipe that looks good enough to try, for a type of fermented fruit mead, though I don't know how original  it is. At least it won't be a total loss; besides those 5 ingredients are just a booster--the magick comes from within.
Instead of learning how to make liquid soaps,  shower gels & such, THE AUTHOR TELLS US TO BUY READY-MADE PRODUCT and just add oil and herbs to that! That isn't exactly a unique recipe, it's a hodge podge of someone else's product taking the place of what was supposed to be the auhthors recipes. If you are looking for detailed and unique recipes, look ELSEWHERE! This is a lot of hype but no substance unfortunately. I had truly hoped that THIS time the book would be what it says it is. Sigh.
