It seems MC and I are trying out some of the same products from Ancient Roads.
I just received my first package from them a couple days ago and I have to say that I am VERY impressed. They offer some of the best quality Hoodoo stuff AND Ceremonial/Church supplies I have seen.
Like Mike, I have been using their German Abramelin Oil. This is excellent stuff. A friend mixed up a batch after the Dehn translation was published and this is better. Because steam distillation was not invented at the time the recipe was written, Ancient Roads uses hot maceration for their formula. If you are used to the Crowley stuff with essential oil, this will seem very mild by comparison as far as smell. Real Abramelin doesn’t burn, and is meant to be applied to the eye lids in some situations – something you could never do with Crowley’s.
I have been using it every morning for three days, along with the Sangreal Anointing Prayer and I can tell you that the spiritual response is sublime.
I should add that they also have Crowley’s AND Mather’s formulas available for purchase.
I have also been using their High Church Incense to accompany my daily performance of the Descent of Divinity. This is from a Spanish Catholic Church recipe from the 16th century and provides a VERY friendly environment for Angelic Beings to manifest within.
Finally I have their Money Drawing and Lucky Business condition oils. I initiated a working this morning at the hour of Jupiter, and have received a sign of it working as of 1pm today. There is a generous helping of herbs in the condition oils, which is always a good sign. In fact at the money drawing bottle is at least a quarter of the way full with herbs.
Apart from all that, the presentation is awesome. The oil bottles are high quality and the incense comes in a nice jar with a cork. Considering that the prices are well within line of other suppliers, I will be buying from them again very soon.

Hadnt thought of trying the High Church… Gonna have to pick up a bottle
Hello! I’m sorry if this is off-topic but I was intrigued by your reference to the use of Abramelin oil in combination with the Sangreal Anointing Prayer. I’m not familiar with this prayer, is this from The Rite of Light? That’s as close as I could find by doing a search on the term. It sounds like a good morning devotional, could you expound on this some more, and would it be a good practice for anyone to follow? Thanks in advance!
My favorite is the Summoning Spirits Incense, it really puts you in a good state of mind. You gotta try some!
@Wicklow Yes it is from the Rite of Light, also known as the Sangreal Sacrament and is detailed in a book of that name which is actually book 2 of the Sangreal Series. Its the Section called “The Anointing” and is kind of long. (Like most things Bill did).
I shorten it down to the following:
O Though Living Spirit of Eternal Energy and Infinite Intelligence, whose sacred sign to us is LIGHT, accept our offering of oil as a symbol of thy holy nature.
The mark of majesty of Sacred Kings and seal of sanctity of Priests is set with consecrated Oil. May I present myself before thee, seeking service in thine Order or Melchizadek, most righteous ruler, King of Peace and Priest Forever, bearing bread and wine, owing no descent to human parents, ending and originating only by thine ordination.
Place I pray thee, thy most special signs of majesty and mediation in my soul for this pure purpose. I do not ask fr such a privilege out of presumption, but so that I may come to thee as a worthy representative of humanity who seek thy Holy Spirit of our own true Wills with firmest faith in thy Divine compassion and beneficence.
May I bear this blessing with humility and honor for its present purpose, and forevermore.
In the name of the Wisdom, and of the Love, and of the Justice, and of the Mercy of the One Eternal Spirit AMEN.
