Manifestors' Best Kept Secret
This book has put me in the game! I have been mixing my own ideas and now I am on THE path. For the love of being exclusive...I have only shared with 2 others. It is a MUST HAVE for every determined Manifestor-Generator! Thank You Lady Gianne!

Interesting combinations
This was brief yet, for me, very interesting, it has also inspired me to experiment with my essential oils collection.

One of my go-to books for oils
I originally bought this book in the Kindle format but found I use it so much that I wanted a physical copy that I could highlight and make my own notes in. This is a very useful reference for this kitchen witch!

interesting recipes
I like the fact that there is recipes in this book, what I dislike is that the recipes do not state with clear intentions what each oil is used for it needed more information as some oils eg.. solar oil I had no idea what it was used for until i googled it, there also isnt info about its planetary and deity correspondences are which was disappointing I would still recommend this book nonetheless

Quick but Informative Read
This particular book would be a good primer for people who need a good starting point for mixing their own magical oil mixes. It’s a bit sparse, but it has a bunch of helpful recipes.

A worthwhile recipe collection, but...
In the introduction to these formulae, Lady Gianne writes, "Recipes are based on essential oil, not synthetic." Unfortunately several recipes call for musk, which cannot be legally obtained as a natural oil (since it is the product of killing an endangered species). Other oils specified include lily of the valley, honeysuckle, sweet pea, magnolia, gardenia, wisteria, lilac and others for which there are no essential oils. Most of these are available only as synthetics. Some, like carnation, are available as absolutes and do not smell at all like the flower from the garden. Ambergris is specified fairly often. It is very rare, especially now that humans aren't killing whales in the numbers seen in earlier years, and is astonishingly expensive if you can find any.I believe Lady Gianne has collected recipes from many sources but cannot have actually made up many, since I can't see she would have included them in light of of her injunction to avoid synthetics. Consider this work as an interesting adjunct for your work with essential oils in magickal practice, but start your work with basic research in aromatherapy/aromamedicine and let *that* guide your experiments and practice.

Useful and well written
Very useful book. It's full of very detailed and comprehensive information but written in a way that is easy to understand and emulate without sacrificing usefulness. I learned many things such as how to properly store oils, some new uses for different oils I was unaware of previously, and what constitutes a carrier oil. The book covers many basics while also including some more advanced information and techniques, this is why I like it so much because I think it can help both beginners and veterans.I highly recommend it, it's definitely saved me a lot of time from researching all this info my self plus it makes a great guide to refer to if I forget an ingredient or a step due to how easy it is to navigate through

A decent little collection of "recipe cards."
The introduction discussing carrier oils, safe oil storage etc, is quite brief, so it may not be the best book for absolute beginners or the sort of people that want really exhaustive knowledge of a subject. The correspondence table and recipes are laid out in a very clear and basic way. The recipes themselves though are strictly a list of ingredients; there's no expanded text on suggestions as to what the best use of this particular mix (though some answers are obvious, like the Altar Oil recipes) might be, specific explanation of the associative plants or "charging" ideas. Some of the blends are quite familiar to anyone who's read Cunningham, but as far as magical oils and waters go, it's sort of like chili--everyone's recipe is a little bit different, and there's no shame in that at all.On the whole, it's a nice little collection of recipes and a great value if you're purchasing the Kindle edition rather than a paper copy. As a companion to more comprehensive guides, it's great, but doesn't stand on its own so well.

These are notes, not a book
This is not a book. It’s some notes on oil blends. Still don’t know how to create an oil of my own.

Disopounted
Not what expected... Basically a book of consultation forms... Still useful.... But thought it it was reading m as trial... Disapointed

Very effective
These recipes work so I have offered five stars. Having used Scott Cunningham's book, these have nice additions. The book is very good value and if you are a sensitive, the recipes will work for you. Simple, straight forward, and great price. It does what it says it will.Thank you Lady Gianne.

Little book
Not a bad little book, don’t expect masses of information. But for the price it’s a lovely book.

More a list than a book
Gives lots of recipes for oil blends, but no in-depth explanation of their use or traditional application. It's basically a list, but for 99pence I suppose one can't complain too much.
