Review Quotes:
"The thoughtfulness and wisdom in The Art of Aromatherapy in Magick took me on a welcomed journey. Dree is genuinely hilarious and offers a generosity of wisdom and political thoughtfulness that weave together a truly holistic way to understand the science and magic of aromatherapy. Dree shares the practical facts while also leaving space for the reader to understand their own relationship to aromatherapy...The Art of Aromatherapy in Magick's unique take is a gift for seasoned witches, curious folks, and anyone seeking a deeper or renewed connection to aromatherapy. So, take a deep breath and enjoy this magical ride."
--Sharon Pink, Portuguese and Polish, queer, femme, priestess, claircognizant witch
"This is more than a book about essential oils and aromatherapy--for me, this is a how-to guide on establishing a deep connection with the powerful essence of Mother Earth. Reading this book gave me a feeling like I was developing a personalized relationship with essential oils and the art of aromatherapy. By the end, I felt like I was in a deep, loving, magickal relationship...It is complete with exercises and recipes for the reader's experience, and a comprehensive index to reflect on later. This book is great for beginners, expansive for the intermediate worker, and a complementary reference for the well-practiced individual. This is a complete reference guide that belongs on every practitioner's bookshelf."
--Dr. Joy "Granddaughter Crow" Gray, author of Wisdom of the Natural World
"The Art of Aromatherapy in Magick should not just be on every witch's bookshelf, but in their hands, often! Never have I come across such a thorough book about how to use aromatherapy, and the way in which Dree links everything back to magickal practice makes this book an absolute must-read for any practicing witch or magickal practitioner. From how to shop ethically for your oils, to making your own, creating blends, connecting more deeply with the wisdom and power of nature, this book contains everything you need to know to about enhancing your magickal practices, spells and intentions with the support and guidance of our plant allies."
--Victoria Maxwell, author, mentor, soul reader & Kundalini yoga teacher
"Dree has crafted an enchanting journey of how to create a deeper connection with essential oils (bottles of plant souls) through ritual and simple magickal practices like oils combined with tarot and pendulums for divination. Through reading this book, we can feel how alive and sacred the essential oils are and how they can be easily integrated into our daily magick...You will discover what oils to buy and how to ethically source them, how to build powerful relationships with plant souls, and how to use oils for magick, and so much more."
--Pamela Chen, author and creator of Witchling Academy Tarot, Tarot of The Owls, Enchanted Crystal Magic, and The Mandarin Tree
