PREFACE
It is the purpose of the present volume to endeavor to meet a need which has existed many years for a complete formula book covering the Occult and Mystic Sciences and the various products included herein. It is the belief of the author that this is the first American book in this highly interesting and evermore popular field. It has been his earnest objective to include not only the most genuinely accepted formulas for the various products but to include as many products as research would permit. Consequently it is his belief that is the most complete and authentic book of its nature ever published in the English language. As a Special Feature for the benefit of readers who may find it difficult to obtain some of the rare and imported items in their local neighborhoods, we have arranged with a group of New York Manufacturing Chemists to carry in stock a complete line of all the items mentioned in the volume and to sell them in small or large quantities to suit the convenience of the readers of this book. Consequently if you need any of the items herein and want to save yourself the bother of trying to purchase in many places, materials which have been collected from all parts of the world, just write.
INCENSES
Man's first idea of perfume started with incense, and was accidentally discovered centuries ago when man in gathering wood to use in his burnt offerings found that some bushes or woods gave-off a pleasant odor when burning. Of these he discovered Frankincense and Myrrh and Benzoin which exists as gums or sap in trees, and in Sandalwood, Cinnamon and Patchouli. In order to be easier understood, it might be well to try to classify the Incenses according to their ingredients and in their particular services in which they are used.
CHINESE INCENSE
Chinese Incense always contains as a base Patchouli Leaves or Root with a possibility of Cinnamon being added, and in some incidents, it is used with Pig Dung. This is used sometimes in the Temples on some religious ceremonies. Other spices may be added. In the Lama Temples of Tibet, they generally burn just butter.
INDIA INCENSE
All India or Hindu Incenses contain Sandalwood as a base, and they together with any Spice, particu-

larly Cinnamon, is burned in the Temples. However, some of the Hindu Incenses are made more aromatic with the addition of essential oils or perfume bases.
EGYPTIAN INCENSE
Most Egyptian Incense is the burning of plain Symtra Benzoin, however, this may be mixed with a little Frankincense and Myrrh as a variation.
PERSIAN INCENSE
Persian Incense is a combination using Sandalwood and a Spice, mainly Cinnamon, together with Benzoin or Frankincense and Myrrh.
ECCLESIASTICAL INCENSE
That used by the Catholic Church is Frankincense, however, it must be burned with Charcoal. The Catholic Church have rigid specifications as to the Incenses used in its Church. No aromatic or synthetics may be used. There are occasions when some churches will use an Incense containing other ingredients than plain Frankincense. As an example, an addition of a little Myrrh and Benzoin, Sandalwood or Cinnamon.

EUROPEAN INCENSE
European Incenses aromatic or household Incense, which is generally made with Charcoal, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cinnamon, Benzoin, and varied with perfume oil compounds either in floral odors or a bouquet.
OCCULT INCENSE
Occult Incenses are used to create a higher vibration according to the specific work involved, and they comprise mixtures of all materials used in Incenses with the addition of essential and aromatic oils as desired. The field is so large, that it would take a book in itself to make proper reference; however, the Incense formulas following in this chapter will give fairly good idea.. as to how the materials are suggested. The following formulas are suggested as those found in many of the occult books together with some of the more modern versions. The names used are only to designate those names which are recognizable from some of the books. In order to make an Incense practical and burnable, the suggestion is made to use Bamba Wood base, which is manufactured especially for this use, and made in one hundred mesh finess.
*These names are used only as a reminder for those used in the well known Occult Books.

OCCULT INKS
1. Invisible ink is made from a solution of 5% Cobalt, Chloride and 95% distilled water which can be purchased from any drug store. Use a clean pen to write with, and when the ink dries, same is colorless. However, when placing paper over heat, invisible writing will develop out blue.
2. Invisible Ink. This ink is used in two parts, the first part being the ink and the second part being the developer. Use 5% solution Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate and ~5% distilled water as ink. To develop same it will require a 5% solution of Tannic Acid in 95% distilled water. After the writing is dry with the Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate Ink, a little of the developer is gently rubbed over space on the paper where the Invisible Ink had been used and same will develop out Brown. Both items can be purchased from your local Druggist.
Since Tannic Acid is also soluble in perfume, it is very easy to make up your 5% solution with Tannic Acid and 95% perfume and use that solution as a developer.

All perfumes contain alcohol to varying degrees. Most important perfumes contain 2 to 3 ounces of oils per pint of alcohol. Most domestic perfumes contain 1 to 3 ounces of oils per pint of alcohol.
However the amounts of essential oil or concentration is determined solely by taste and price.

Afterword:
I herwith append a list of the stock oil "Compounds" (or "Bouquets") required for making up the spiritual supplies in "The Ancient Book of Formulas."
Generally, manufacturers of spiritual supplies will use one stock oil for an entire family of formulas -- Incense, Oil, and Sachet Powder. There are a few instances in "The Ancient Book of Formulas" where a family of formulas is split among two or more Compound numbers. Also, there are a few Compound numbers that have too many different families of products listed under them to make sense. Note also that several numbers were skipped by the author in his sequence of numeration. I believe some of these irregularities were caused by typographical errors, and i have suggested alternatives.

If a spiritual supply company is owned and operated by root-workers, their Stock Oils will be blended from natural botanical essential oils selected from among the many herbs and roots which have long-established magical reputations. If the manufacturers are merely fragrance chemists, their Stock Oils may be blended from syntehtic fragrances or an economical mix of natural and synthetic ingredients.
In addition to its recipes for spiritual supplies, "The Ancient Book of Formulas" contains numerous recipes for synthetic perfumes and cosmetics, which can have had little or no magical value to a root worker. Whether the Stock Oils for this company's magical formulas were purely botanical is unknown.
Although we may never know what botanical or synthetic oils were used as the basis for the Compounds listed below, i can make a clear guess about *one* particular Compound -- Bouquet X 136, listed as an ingredient in Van Van Oil and also Hindu Grass Oil. The latter name indicates to me that this company's Van Van formula conformed to the standard concept of Van Van as a blend of Lemongrass, Citronella, Palmarosa, Vetivert (Khus Khus), and Gingergrass Oils -- all known in the trade as Asian or Indian Grasses.
