"The Ancient Book of Formulas," a 94 page magical formulary, was originally published in 1940. It is long out of print and in the public domain. It was posted to usenet in 1999 by Laurie Brandt (brandtfamily@sprintmail.com), for which many people will be very grateful. Laurie's copy of the text was missing two pages, but since she had done so much work in scanning and posting already, i added those two pages from my own copy by hand.
The edition of "The Ancient Book of Formulas" which Laurie scanned was a 1960s reprint by Dorene Publishing (of Texas), of a book that had originaly been published by Oracle Products Corporation (New York) in 1940 and then by Dorene Publishing (New York). The original edition and some of the earlier reprints have the Oracle Products Corporation monogram (OPC) on the back cover, even after OPC was no longer the publisher. Judging by the internal running heads on pages 13 - 94, the original title may have been "The Book of Ancient Formulas" -- but this is purely speculation.
The uncredited author of "The Ancient Book of Formulas" was the same mysterious Mr. Young who apparently had founded Oracle Products and who wrote several other books under the names Louis de Claremont and Lewis de Claremont, most notably, "Legends of Incense, Herb, and Oil Magic," which was first published by OPC in 1936, then by Dorene in a revised edition in 1938, further revised in 1966. If you've read "Legends," you will find in it references to "The Ancient Book of Formulas." There was also a third companion volume in this series, "The Ancient Book of Magic," also by the pseudonymous Mr. de Claremont. Two other texts by the same author are "Seven Steps to Power" and "Seven Keys to Power."
"The Ancient Book of Formulas" was designed as a workbook for OPC's customers who were -- at the time of original publication -- able to buy the named Compounds and Bouquets (Stock Oil Blends) from the OPC and use them to make up their own dressing oils, incense, and so forth at home. This method of marketing blends of essential oils was apparently not succesful, for the OPC went out of business sometime during World War II. The proportions of subsidiary ingredients and colouring agents given in the recipes are great -- but you still need formulas of your own for the Compounds and Bouquets -- and they are no longer manufactured.
If you wish to acquire a specific recipe for a stock oil ("Compound") named in this book, first check in the page called Lucky Mojo Free Spells Archive: Recipes for Magical Potions used in Spell-Casting; if the formula you want is not there, try asking for it by name (in the subject line) in the usenet newsgroups alt.lucky.w and alt.paranormal.spells.hexes.magic
Although de Claremont's other books were kept in print for many years, "The Ancient Book of Formulas" went out of print long ago due to the frustrating lack of availablity of the OPC compounds needed to actually complete the formulas it only describes in part. Used copies sell for between $15.00 and $25.00 in the o.p. book market, depending on condition and edition. Because the copyright was never renewed, the work is now in the Public Domain.

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. [9] ----------------------------------- 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- 10 ----------------------------------- 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. 11 ----------------------------------- 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. 12 ----------------------------------- THE BOOK OF ANCIENT FORMULAS ----------------------------------- BIBLE INCENSES Bible Incenses always contains Gum Frankincense and Gum Myrrh, mixed with Bamba Wood base or placed direct on Charcoal. Bible Incenses may be blended with Perfume Compound Oil to give various desired effects. Ex. Frankincense grains 1 Ounce Myrrh grains 1 Ounce Any Compound Perfume Oil 2 Drams This is mixed and then a small amount placed on ignited Charcoal Block or with the entire amount, mix with. 8 Ounces any Bamba Wood Base. In order to add Spice to Incense, Cinnamon is used together with other Spices, such as Cloves.

Incorporate the Essential Oils into absorption medium first and then mix the entire mass into the talcum, add color last, -- a little at a time until color or shade suits your taste. Other Sachets can be made solely with Orris Root, Sandalwood, or a combination of several of the aromatic Woods. Tinctures of Peru, Tolu, and Benzoin are used as blenders.

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. 53 ----------------------------------- THE BOOK OF ANCIENT FORMULAS ----------------------------------- INVISIBLE INK FOR CHARCOAL INCENSE Use a glass pen to apply writhing or numbers in Charcoal blocks.

AFTERWORD:
STOCK OIL COMPOUNDS AND BOUQUETS
by catherine yronwode
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, Sachet Powder, and Bath. 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 further 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, but still, taken altogether, it apears that at the OPC, about 50 different blended fragrance Compounds were used to create about 75 differently titled lines of oils, powders, incenses, and baths.
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.

cupply company, Mysteria Products, while those Trugman and
his wife and partner Mitzie remained in New York City at
the old Fulton Street address, distribtuing supplies and
publishing books under the name Fulton Religious Supply.]
If you have any questions about Lucky Mojo spiritual supplies or how to use them to cast real, authentic money spells, love spells, healing spells, protection spells, revenge spells, or gambling luck spells, call the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. occult store at (707) 887-1521 any time Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time -- or search the Lucky Mojo web site for hundreds of free online magic spells that you can use:
We specialize in spiritual supplies that are hard to find, esoteric, arcane, and, above all, authentic. Our prices are fair and our quality unsurpassed because unlike most occult shops on the web, which are just resellers of factory-made products, we grow many of our own herbs, and we hand craft all of the dressing oils, incense, bath crystals, sachet powders, mojo bags, floor washes, and spell kits that we sell right here in our shop, one at a time.
In keeping with old-time conjure shop standards, we don't just make spiritual supplies; we pray over them and dedicate them to the needs of our clients as we craft them. We also offer free candle dressing with herbs and oils on all mail-order or in-shop glass encased vigil lights and novena candles, and there is no charge for the setting of prayer lights on our petition altars for customers of the shop.
We sell retail and wholesale from our occult store in Forestville, California, and we ship nationally and internationally to our many mail order customers. For your online shopping convenience we accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
