I'm sure that Martin will chime in... but it's my understanding that the
aromatics that were used in ancient times were infused botanicals, or dried
herbs, etc. They simply didn't produce essential oils in, for example,
Biblical times.

Which does not mean that you can't use the oils in place of the raw
aromatics...

For example, we use Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard, etc... in our
Magdalene's Anoint. But we don't ever try to pretend that it is the same
as what was mentioned in the Bible.

and before I forget...welcome.

Seems to me years ago Graham published a list of the aromatics mentioned in
the Bible...that would be a starting place. And I *may* have something
sent by one of my Indian suppliers about the flowers used for various
religious purposes there. If I can find it, I'll send it on.
