"One of the most readable books on the subject of incense I have read in many years."—Mike Gleason, PaganNews.com"Incense: Crafting & Use of Magickal Scents is an impressive book on a subject that has not been done to death in other books...If you are interested in making your own incense, or just want to know more about incense and how it is made, you'll want a copy of this book."—eCauldron.net review"This is an excellent book for those with an interest in incense making or who are just starting out, and as Neal notes, even if you don’t end up making your own incense, you'll have a much better idea of what goes into the process and which things to consider when purchasing off the shelf at your local shop."—SpiralNature.com"As an herbalist, craftsperson, and teacher myself, I find this book essential...I highly recommend it and will sell it at my own store."—New Age Retailer
