Baer, Randall, and Vicki Baer. Scott's books reflect a broad range of interests within the New Age sphere, where he was very highly regarded.
He passed from this life on March 28, , after a long illness. For the informed reader By The Indigo Quill I can see where some people may be upset with the title change, although in the listing it does say it's published by Llewellyn the most well known metaphysical publisher and their Practical Magick publishing circuit, no less. That being said, I liked this book as a beginner book, but there were some things I really did not like.
The wide variety of recipes in this book are wonderful. I enjoy a lot of the folklore mixed in and ancient recipes, however, ancient recipes can only go so far considering most of their ingredients may have never existed or are impossible to obtain now.
Even throughout the book, Cunningham's commentary notes that some of the ingredients he doesn't know what they are, and then proceeds to give an alternative suggestion. It's great that there's a substitution chart in a later chapter, but I shouldn't have to be replacing ingredients in a recipe that even the author himself doesn't know what it is or how to obtain it.
That is incredibly frustrating and a waste of time. The recipes I have been able to try have been good, and the quick references I can make without having to make substitutions are great.
Another concern is that some of these "ancient" recipes are actually toxic and to the uninformed reader, that can be highly dangerous. If you like Cunningham, this is one of his bests. In Part I: Basics, he explains everything well enough for beginners to understand, yet briefly enough lest the more advanced get frustrated.
He even includes a chapter on creating your own recipes! Throughout Part II: Processing and Recipes, he gives useful lists of things like the most common ingredients used so you can keep them in stock, substitutions, simple uses for single ingredients, etc.
His recipes are not exact measurements; they are more like ratio suggestions, which is great and he explains why. Part III is entirely devoted to different kinds of substitutions. This books includes a glossary and appendices that are very useful for beginners. I would have loved to see more recipes for more magickal needs to be honest.
There are a good bit of recipes, but they are mostly for the basic magickal needs. I would have liked to see the index more expanded.
Obviously it's a bit outdated, but most of the best books are right? This is one of those books that will be used frequently for reference; I know it is an important addition to my library.
I'm rating it 4 stars because I prefer bigger, more detailed reference books, but I hope that doesn't diminish its importance. I am including an out-of-focus picture of two of the pages so you can see the layout of the recipe pages. This book has great recipes but can be a bit dry to read By Samantha Jones This book has great recipes but can be a bit dry to read as well as somewhat biased.
