I really love this archive. As I said in the opening of the show, I learned more about incense in the introduction to Carl's book than what most books have on the subject from cover to cover, and an amazing amount of information throughout the entire show. Incense is an essential guide to making your own homemade blends with natural ingredients. Carl presents an extensive collection of incense knowledge, including 129 recipes and helpful descriptions of 125 ingredients, twenty-nine base materials, sixteen binders, and two new rituals. Whether you want to make loose, stick, coil, or cone incense, this comprehensive edition provides detailed instructions for everything from finding the right ingredients to proper drying methods. With expanded sections on basic techniques, natural charcoal, and shopping for ingredients at the local super-market, this is the perfect book to help you explore your "scentuality." Even if you would rather buy incense than make it, Carl offers tips and what to look out for when choosing the very best incense.
