Book Review of: Divine Magic: The Seven Sacred Secrets of Manifestation. Revised and Edited by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.

The title of Doreen Virtue’s latest offering captivated me and I couldn’t wait to get a hold of my copy!

Do you want to manifest anything you want?

Doreen says you can, by following the Seven Secrets of Manifestation, a New Interpretation of the classic Hermetic manual, The Kybalion.

The Egyptian sage, Hermes Trismegistus, was the original spiritual teacher who wrote down the Kybalion, which is a manual for understanding and using your natural Divine magic and manifesting abilities. No one knows exactly when Hermes lived or indeed if he was even mortal, although some scholars believe he lived at the time of Moses. The name ‘Hermetic’ and it’s philosophies and principles are derived from his name.

Until it’s publication in 1908, it had only been passed down through the centuries by word of mouth, cloaked in secrecy, codes and mystery. Doreen Virtue was guided to update and edit the manuscript, making it easier for us in the modern age to read and understand.

The Seven Sacred Secrets of Manifestation are:

• The Principle of Mentalism
• The Principle of Correspondence
• The Principle of Vibration
• The Principle of Polarity
• The Principle of Rhythm
• The Principle of Cause and Effect
• The Principle of Gender

Doreen Virtue edits and rewrites in an easy-to-understand way each part of The Kybalion, with the original version of each chapter immediately after her own interpretation.

This is a heavy read and it does take concentration, consideration and effort.

I read it through, firstly only reading Doreen’s version. I applied the principles and I have to report to you, that it works! I was a little doubtful at first, but I persisted and within 48 hours I had my first result. Impressive!

If you are interested in the metaphysical, the Divine, alchemy and manifestation, this is definitely a book for you.

It comes with a meditative CD also, which combines Doreen’s words and the original Kybalion writing.

Doreen Virtue says the Kybalion “…taught me a method that keeps my thoughts, and therefore my moods, health, relationships, finances, and such at a consistently high level”.

Not the easy option, but I definitely recommend it.
