Lisa Chamberlain shows you how to work with magical botanical oils in your spellcraft—whether you’re well versed in other forms of magic but are just discovering essential oil magic, or are new to magic altogether. Since early times, shamans and healers have used fragrant oils in ritual, magic, and medicine to provide a direct tie between the natural world and the spiritual plane. Lisa Chamberlain explains the evolution of magical oils—from their rustic beginnings to their modern incarnation as essential oils—and discusses why they greatly enhance your ritual and magical practice. You’ll be introduced to 13 essential oils commonly used in both healing and contemporary magic, including cinnamon, lavender, and patchouli. Each blend recipe and spell utilizes oils from these 13, making it easier for you to get started in no time.
Lisa dispels all the common misconceptions about this diverse religion, giving her readers the perfect foundations for taking their first steps on their Wiccan journey.
Unlike other Wicca guides, Lisa's books provide information that's found across many Wiccan traditions, rather than coming from just one person's perspective. In fact, she writes the kinds of books she wishes had been available when she was just starting out in the Craft all those years ago.
When not writing or experimenting with spellwork, Lisa loves to read, play piano, and spend time surrounded by nature.
Great quick read about a small number of essential oils and their uses. Nice and basic and very clear steps on how to use the oils or blends for yourself.
In this book the author speaks of essential oils. Their history, preparation methods and how to choose the right ones and avoid fake ones. Also there is included despription of 13 oils. I'm so happy Ylang Ylang was included, because it is my favorite oil. And few recipes of to blend oils and spells. I learned something new, but mostly it was "refreshing my knowledge" since I knew basically everything in this book.
Lisa always writes thoughtful beginner guides with follow-up recollections for people who want to know more. I like to understand things from the ground up. I appreciate her inclusion of history and various different possible approaches or applications.

Quick and easy introduction to using essential oils for magical workings. It includes good background information on 13 commonly used oils and their magical properties, as well as simple recipes and rituals. It peaked my interest and has informed me of which oils should definitely be included in my collection! As an introduction to the topic, it was concise and easy to read. I'll for sure be looking into the topic more.
I must admit, I was quite skeptical of this author. After seeing so many results for this author on Amazon and the publishing house, I was hesitant to bother with any of Chamberlain’s books. I was so wrong! This book is a must!!
I absolutely loved that she has such amazing information for such a small book. Not only is there magickal information but also practical information that I have yet to find in many witchcraft books. There are detailed instructions for cleaning the bottles/jars to finding reputable sources for your oils.
I am thrilled to find such an amazing resource and definitely recommend this for anyone just starting with oils in their magickal practice.
This Book Is Actually Good. It Goes Into The Absolute Basics Of Herbalism And Which Herb Is Used For What. This Book Also Has Few Ways And Techniques On How To Make Essential Oil Blends And How To Cast Spells With The Help Of Aromatherapy And Essential Oils. Overall I Really Liked Reading This Book.
Just the beginning I needed for using essential oils for life enhancement. Oil salesmen don't provide training in the variations of use. Also enjoyed the history lessons. Atmosphere and visualization add to the potency of the result.
Great book for beginner working with essential oils. Perfect book to learn how to buy them and the best way to store. Would definitely recommend to anyone starting out with blending oils.
It was very helpful and I learned a lot.I would recommend this book to any person who is looking for something new to learn,also read but follow your heart.
I really enjoyed reading this book. There's so much information, but at no time did I feel overwhelmed. Lisa Chamberlain did an excellent job with this book.
