The candle projects in this book are really great, but I can't give it any more than two stars because of the careless use of the culturally specific term "smudge" and its incorrect suggestion that you can just turn any plant into a smoking herb. Some plants produce poisonous smoke! You can't just bundle up any "flower" and light it on fire without doing your research.
