An update...

My Writing July 2022 Posted on 14/07/2022 by admin After the release of Kemetic Practice – Keeping It Personal, I had I think four more booklets mapped out and mostly written to follow on the series. However a number of things occurred to put those plans on hold. The first and most importantly, Ke...

This morning dug put the incense cones I made back in June 2021 to see if they are any good still. Yes burnt for a good half hour
Not sure yet if I will turn them into a viable product.

A previous customer bought another copy of one of my booklets today as a gift for someone else because they found theirs useful.

The fact they didn't lend theirs but bought another means a lot to me as an author - and I'm not talking about because of the sale of another copy. I talking about the recognition possibly in value in that content, the art, and months of pain that went into it.

Like many other authors would couldn't afford to rely on our writing as an income of any kind, we do it (I certainly do) because we have something burning in our heads to share.

Thank you everyone who buys any book from anyone, any where, even more so if it's written by someone who isn't famous.

You make a difference which keeps us writing.

A question.

Does anyone out there still wear cologne? I personally haven't in many many years as prefer Eau de Toilette as it lasts the day.

I've mixed up a test batch of Harper 3 as a cologne and yes, it lasts 2-3hrs which I is the usual for cologne but is it worth the effort when EDT does a better job?

If you wear cologne why do you if it lasts such a short time?

Left over from last night's blending for blotter tests this week. Two new perfumes make their gradual progress to product.

These two are based mostly on an ancient Egyptian recipe that was created as a gift to a Babylonia king. I'm creating one that follows the original floral as well as a spiced up one.

Smells good so far!
