Good Subject, Crummy Book,
By Max "davidinscarboro@aol.com" (Scarborough, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Count Saint Germain:The New Age Prophet Who Lives Forever (Paperback)
Count Saint Germain seems to have been a truly interesting and mysterious person who deserves a good, honest, thoroughly researched biography. This book is none of those things. In the blurb above this review you will see that they are using the 'gold and violet' cover as a selling point, which I find humorously--almost touchingly--simpleminded. There are spelling mistakes and errors of fact (such as wrong dates) all over the place, and the authors refuse to look at any story concerning Saint Germain with the least bit of scepticism. Thus we are told that Francis Bacon and Christopher Columbus were actually Saint Germain, and that as, Sir Francis Bacon, Saint Germain wrote all of Shakespeare's plays. The silliness never stops! Then we are told that the secret of immortality lies in starving yourself for forty days, after which your hair and teeth will fall out; a few hours later they will grow back, and after that you'll be immortal. (Don't try this at home, kids!) So I'm afraid I cannot recommend this book. The one star is for the gold and violet cover, which is mighty purty.

ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL MEN OF HISTORY,
By A Customer
This review is from: Count Saint Germain: The New Age Prophet Who Lives Forever (Paperback)
Alchemy has always been of interest to me. The idea that you can take ordinary metal and turn it into gold has naturally got to be appealing - especially in our very materialistic society. St Germain is said to have been a master alchemist who was a favorite of the court of kings and queens, as well as the powerful of the time. In addition to his seemingly magical abilities he never seem to age. In fact, this book makes a good case that it would appear and than vanish throughout the course of over 400 years. There are those who say he was there when they signed the Constitution as well on TV in France in the last decade. This book held my interest -- it makes for both fascinating reading, but is also practical for those wishing to further their occult studies in rejuvenation and youthfulness. There is also a large selection of messages beamed from St Germain who is said to be living beneath Mt Shasta in the underground city of Telos, where he is working with the great while brotherhood of light.

Beware,
By C Tails (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Count Saint Germain:The New Age Prophet Who Lives Forever (Paperback)
First of all I am not critiqing the actual book. It is easily read and it is a beautiful book. But and this is a very big but. I want to say, I have been into occult practices for 38 years. Starting with the extensive study of Astrology which leads you into other occult things. Eg: Candle rituals, Channeling, Clairaudient..just to name a few. The list goes on and on. These things will destroy your life if not your next life. It did mine! Count Saint Germain is just a demon. Remember who comes as "A ANGEL OF LIGHT". It is true folks, you lose all the time!
