[ATFE2] Re: intro and quest
Ditto on what Marge said. All this stuff about sacred essential oils is hogwash promoted by Young Living. It is highly unlikely that any essential oils were around during the several hundred years over which the Christian stories were written. Certainly infused oils and resins were used. Of course I am assuming when using the word "sacred" that you mean the Christian uses as there are numerous other religious practices that use "sacred" plants or their extracts.
The only books that I would half trust are those written by botanists on the Ancient uses of plants, or perhaps Lisa Maniche book on Ancient Egyptian medicinal plants. At least she can read the glyphs on the monuments but cannot always put a plant to what the glyph says. This is always the problem when dealing with Ancient uses of plants. Often the dialect used to write about them is not fully understood by modern users of that language.

I am trying to find a resource on sacred use of essential oils and am only finding aromatherapy novels and MLM garbage on the net. I would like an authoritative publication to use as a reference guide that addresses the oils used historically in world religions. Maybe Martin or someone else here could make a recommendation for me. Thank you.
