The Sacred Mystery #3
The Art of Magick: The Mystery of Deep Magick & Divine Rituals
The Step-by-step practical guide to Magick and Divine Rituals
For thousands of years, mankind has been practicing magick under different denominations, traditions, and systems. However, in today’s world, magick seems to have been left behind, collecting dirt, buried in the dark corners of human history. This is no surprise. Fear, dogma, and disreputable arcane teachings appear to have assaulted it. But this is not authentic magick.
Real magick is a beautiful system that stood untouched throughout the ages. It is a mystifying expedition into the exotic realms of the unknown, manifesting profound change within and without. Now, it’s time to illuminate it anew, leaving all of these lightless tenets behind once and for all.
The magick presented in this book is vehemently pragmatic, unique, and innovative. It is not the customary approach of regurgitating magickal traditionalism. Don’t expect to find that same approach and teachings here. This work doesn’t tackle superficial magick, but magick for profound self-transformation and self-transcendence.
The magickal practices and rituals are divided into primary and secondary phases which include, but are not limited
1. Designing Magick Rituals
2. Higher States of Consciousness and Magickal Trances
3. Magickal Seals & Symbology
4. Energy, Force, and Manifestation
5. Magickal Purification, Healing, and Protection
6.Using Magick to Transcend the Self
7. Magick of the Subconscious Mind
8. Sacred Elemental Energy
9. Voyage Into the Depths of Akasha
10. Fire-Born Emptiness
11. Divine Signs
12. Black Magick vs. White Magick
13. Magickal God-Force
14. Manifestation of God-Consciousness Magick
15. Deep Magick
We sincerely hope the reader enjoys this work and that it may serve as an impetus of inspiration that reveals the timeless art of magick.

I’ve been reading these two books, The Art of Magick and The Art of Mysticism, by Gabriyell Sarom. I had them on my Amazon wish list for months, so the husband got them for me. I regret it now. I was drawn in by the book covers, and while the exercises in the books are useful to help one enter proper states of mind for magical workings and mystical experiences, I can’t agree with the author’s repeated statements about the whole purpose of magic and mysticism being “Union with God”. There are lots of references to God and getting to know God, which I find very disturbing and off-putting. This idea does not fit with my beliefs. I think these books are more suited to those interested in Christian Mysticism.

No nonsense approach
I honestly picked up this book because of the artwork on the cover. I really enjoyed reading this pragmatic book and can't wait to read more from the author.

This is a short book that can be read in a day or less. However, it contains a lot of useful information, including programmes of preparation and practice that could last a lifetime.
There are three reasons why the text is so brief. First, there are no case studies. Books like this usually have several examples of ordinary individuals who achieved amazing results by following the author’s guidance. These case studies appeal to some readers but I’ve rarely found them inspiring as I think of them as anecdotal and impossible to prove or disprove.
Second, there are no references to expensive residential courses or workshops that the reader is encouraged to sign up for if they are “truly serious” about magickal work. The most this author does is offer you a free book if you sign up for his newsletter. Maybe the newsletter refers to expensive workshops but you don’t have to take part in them to get a lot out of this book. In fact, the eight-phase programme needn’t cost you a penny as no equipment is needed except for your mind and body.
Third, no attempt is made to provide any proof that the techniques described here actually work. Now that would be a serious flaw except that the evidence can be found elsewhere. There is a growing body of evidence across a range of scientific disciplines from neuroscience to endocrinology to quantum physics showing that meditation and breathwork can positively affect brain chemistry, heart rate, blood pressure, pain management etc. In short, following the exercises set out here could have beneficial effects on your mental and physical health, even if the results are not “magickal”. Also, it is worth pointing out that although the author’s programme is original, much of the material here does chime with what you would find in similar works. Consistency breeds confidence. For example, the process for turning magickal intentions into reality is similar to what you would find in a book or video about manifesting. For example, the author focuses on the importance of imagination and emotion in crystallising exactly what you want the universe to deliver for you. Another example is the use of magickal seals or symbols to help focus intention. This might seem to be straying away from rationalism but it is a technique recommended in Dr Joe Dispenza’s science-based works.
One caveat. The copyright page contains a lengthy rubric stressing the importance of using conventional medical services to address any health concerns that the reader might have. This is basic common sense. It is also worth noting that the author advises that you should consult a healthcare professional before doing any of the meditations. Some readers might think that is taking health and safety too far but other gurus discourage anyone from doing specific breathwork exercises if they are pregnant or have recently had a stroke or heart attack.
A common theme in this author’s works is to stress the primacy of experience over religious faith. This is a sound pragmatic and rational approach. For example, you can measure changes in blood pressure, heart rate, brain activity etc before, during and after a meditation and draw conclusions. You can also make subjective assessments about your own levels of confidence or anxiety after following the author’s programmes. This is very different from being told by a priest what you must believe about something written in a book and that might or might not have happened thousands of years ago. Regarding areas like, if you follow one of the exercises here, will you really make contact with some kind of universal spirit? Again, the author’s message is, “Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself and see what the result is.”
This book is the third in a series of four and I am beginning to wonder how they can be combined into one unified programme.

While the book has some good exercises for practicing meditation and sensing energies, overall I found it to be a bit...I'm not even sure of the word I'm looking for. First, I was irked by the idea that there is one God and that those practicing magick must accept and acknowledge this God, but I tried to look past it. Most of the book held statements including "must", "required", "if this is not done this way for this amount of time"...which seems far too restrictive for a practice that is typically very individualized. Additionally, the author repeatedly refers to "the magician", which conjures up images of a stage illusionist, which is not at all what magick is. And don't even get me started on the incorrect and overuse of the term "notwithstanding", or the disclaimer in the front of the book where the author insists on using he/him and hopes readers are not offended by this, instead of just going with they/them....

Cover is lovely, and that's it. I'm lucky I was given these books as a gift. absolute rubbish, the author threw in some mishmash of some ideas of others without even the courtesy of including proper references. I am not sure if they even know the basics. Absolute rubbish.
