From the editor: Using vegetable oils, herbs, essential oils, and common kitchen equipment, Soapmaking will guide you through 25 all-natural recipes for luxurious, gentle, beautiful, and magickal soaps. Drawing on her long experience with soap, herbs, oils, and Earth-based spirituality, Alicia Grosso leads you through the entire process of making soap-from the gathering of the natural ingredients to the infusing of your handmade soaps with wishes, prayers, dreams, and magick.

Alicia provides detailed instructions for making and forming unique soaps for moon phases, special occasions, and each of the eight Pagan Sabbats. She also includes special soapmaking for women and men, covering quest, croning, parenthood, and other major life events. You will even find meaningful presentation ideas.

While focused on the magickal aspects of making soap, non-­magickal people will find good, basic instructions for natural, small-batch soapmaking, as well as herb lore and ways to fill soap with good thoughts and intentions.

Although written for the beginning soapmaker, even the most seasoned soaper will find inspiration in the rituals and procedures of making magickal soap.
