The Ancient Book of Forumulas By: Lewis De Claremont spelling and format editing has occurred within this post; some email addresses may be out of date. ------------------------------------------ Preface: "The Ancient Book of Formulas," an out of print, public domain magical formulary, was posted to usenet in 1999 by Laurie Brandt (brandtfamily@sprintmail.com), for which many people will be very grateful. The edition of "The Ancient Book of Formulas" which Laurie scanned is a reprint by Dorene Publishing (of Texas), of a book which had originaly been published by Oracle Products Corporation (New York) in 1940 and then and 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. Laurie's copy 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. "The Ancient Book of Formulas" is a workbook for 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 WW II. The proportions and subsidiary ingredients and colouring agents given in the recipes are great -- but you still need formulas of your own for the Compounds and Bouquets. The uncredited author of "The Ancient Book of Formulas" was the same man 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." Although de Claremont's other titles have been mostly kept in print, "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. If you wish to acquire a specific recipe for a stock oil ("Compound") named in this book, first check in the Lucky Mojo Esoteric Archive page called 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 Good Luck, cat yronwode (cat@luckymojo) ------------------------------------------ TITLE:The Ancient Book of Formulas AUTHOR: Lewis de Claremont [not credited] PUBLISHER:Dorene Publishing Co., Dallas TX (see below) YEAR:1940 NOTES: Missing pages 89, 90 {supplied by cat yronwode] ----- THE ANCIENT BOOK OF FORMULAS The most complete book covering the Occult and Mystic Sciences ever published in the English language. ----- [in Laurie Brandt's copy] Dorene Publishing Co. 2809 Main St. Dallas Texas 75226 [Covered by a label that reads] Wehman Bros.

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 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. Lemon, Orange, etc. ABTINA INCENSE Patchouli 6 Ounces Orris Root 16 Ounces Sandalwood 8 Ounces Olibanum 16 Ounces Myrrh 8 Ounces Winters Bark 4 Ounces Lavender 24 Ounces *These names are used only as

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.
