Good formulary with hundreds of different recipes for incense, oils, powders, floorwashes, tinctures etc. If you enjoy working with herbs and roots, this is a good addition to your reference library. Everything is nicely organized with several cross-referencing charts to find the right formula to do the job - whatever it may be - with minimal fuss and digging. There's also a decent introduction to working with candles and selecting various magical props for the altar to use while working. I enjoyed it and will likely reference it often in the future.
Purchase it from the publisher at 7th-house.com. A lot of shops are asking ridiculous amounts for it and it's still in print as of March 2016. Shipping included my new copy was a little over $30.
