challenging informative inspiring mysterious reflective slow-paced

I've seen discussion online suggesting that this book isn't reflective of true Hermetic principles (and more in line with the New Thought movement), so its positioning as a Hermetic text seems disingenuous. If you're looking for Hermetic texts specifically, I would recommend doing research before picking this up.

Regardless of the group of thought it falls under, it is a worthwhile read for anyone with an open mind. It offers interesting perspectives on the nature of the universe and the Laws that govern it. It's a challenging read and one I will need to read again to fully digest.

Really high-level intro to the Seven Hermetic Principles. I'll definitely need to spend some more time with this. It was interesting noting the direct tie-in to coaching; you get what you look for. Or more correctly, you create by using mental energy.

Quick read about new age thinking suggested by a friend. I liked learning about hermetic principles! And it makes me wanna read more philosophy books. I recommend it if you’re an open minded person who doesn’t have a specific religion you live by.

Calling this book a book on Magic is misleading. What it is fundamentally about is the core nature of reality. Its points resonated with me and much of it holds up despite this book being written over a century ago.
