Very easy to understand, gives great references, explains substitution and common sense in magic. I also love the resources in the back to find the herbs and oils!

A lot of recipes but a number of them are impractical and just for a historical reference.
Great resource for herbal recipes and correspondences. A few downsides were his repetitiveness around not using synthetics and his slight Wiccan superiority complex. Still a must have for those interested in simple herbal magic.

Although times have since changed, many of the recipes are still relevant and able to be recreated, maybe even easier now with more advanced technology, products, etc.
Not necessarily for beginners. I got this when I first started researching and it was too much for me at the time. I'll have to pick it up again later.
A key book for anyone new to making incense, oils, brews and more. Scott Cunningham does a great job explaining basic information in a very easy and understandable manner. At the same time, it’s information-packed, to the point and valuable. This book contains proper warnings, a solid glossary, principals of changing and adapting recipes and more. It’s a classic and a good book for practitioner of every level. Even if you are not interested in witchery or rituals, it’s one of the top books about essential oils, herbs, oils, brews, incense and more.
There's alooot of information in this book and I will definitely reference back if I need any inspiration, and it gives an awesome intro to making incense, brews, oils, even soaps and satchels. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it can drag on a bit. But a great amount of information!
