The Magic of Scent

Magical Oils, Incense and More

Discover the unseen force that shapes memory, mood, and magic.

In The Magic of Scent, Earl LeMaster takes readers on a captivating journey through the ancient and modern worlds of magical fragrance. From Egyptian temples and Babylonian altars to Wiccan circles and personal rituals, this comprehensive guide reveals how scent has always been one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—tools in the practitioner’s craft.

Blending practical guidance with poetic insight, this book explores the use of essential oils, incense, aromatic waters, and sacred perfumes to empower spellwork, deepen meditation, anoint sacred objects, and align with divine energies. Each chapter offers a rich blend of history, spirituality, and hands-on instruction, including recipes, rituals, seasonal blends, ethical considerations, and vibrational correspondences.

Learn how to craft your own magical oils from base to blend, use smoke as a ritual offering, create personalized perfumes for love, healing, or empowerment, and work with fragrance in moon phases, dreamwork, and shadow magic. Whether you’re casting a circle, cleansing a space, or simply seeking to live more mindfully, scent can be your bridge between the mundane and the mystical.

With over 60,000 words of content, The Magic of Scent is ideal for witches, rootworkers, perfumers, herbalists, and anyone who senses there is more to fragrance than meets the nose. Drawing on the works of Scott Cunningham, Starhawk, and modern aromatherapists—as well as global folklore and ancient practices—this book is both grounded and visionary.

Beautifully written and deeply researched, this volume will teach you not only how to use scent—but how to live it. Let every breath become intentional. Let every fragrance be a vessel of transformation.

Let the magic begin with a single inhale.
