Others prefer to mix their own. Some have their own "special" recipe, which they personally prefer.
Others have their own "secret" recipes, which they personally mix up and sell to others.
Since recipes cannot be copyrighted, these incense recipes can be found in numerous books and all over the web. I have found versions of them in several places, often with identical wording and sometimes with only subtle variations.
I list these common recipes as examples of what may be in that bag of incense labled: Kyphi Incense, Abramelin Incense, Mexican Magic Incense, etc.
Interestingly, only the common names for the plant ingredients are consistently used in these recipes--not Latin botanical names, which can lead to confusion when mixing up incenses. Some wildly different plants can have the same common name. For safety and desired effectiveness, the botanical Latin names of plants should be specically stated to make certain there is no error about exactly which plant ought to be used in a particular recipe.
As only the common names for the plant ingredients, not Latin botanical names, are used in these recipes, the creators of "That Hoodoo..." make no claims and accept no responsibility for any effects or consequences for mixing up or use of any of these incense recipes.
