(no subject)

Today's 'wait, what':

- found the book that I used in 2014 for a solid shampoo recipe, but it was a Kindle purchase
- if I can get this in paperback form I won't have to deal with Amazon rigamarole any more
- went to thriftbooks.com, searched for author's name
- damn, it's out of stock, but at least they get 14 or so copies of this book a month so it should show up again soon
- huh, there's a lot of non-soap-related books on this page too, this must be one of those things where searching an author with three names gets me books by anyone with two out of three names
- ...
- ... no it does in fact appear that the guy who wrote my soap book, and a book on essential oils and aromatherapy, also wrote Hex Appeal and Casting Love Spells, at least assuming that there aren't two guys with the same three names
- .... nope. It's him. Amazon bio.

Well, hell, the recipe works and he knows his way around scents, that's the important part.

It occurs to me the first step in a love spell might be "ensure body does smell will not knock buzzards off manure cart." So perhaps the subject matter fits together in a kind of Volume I/Volume II way.

Yeah, possible. Turns out at least one of his other books is on the use of plant oils in witchcraft and hoodoo, and I can't help but assume that the occasional practitioner, upon being asked to help ensnare someone's heart, started with 'I want you to put these on these specific parts of your body every time you visit me, first of all'.

Apparently he operates a metaphysical bookstore in Tennessee and has a male romantic partner and a bunch of cats. Good for them.
