Book Review: The Secret Science Behind Miracles by Max Freedom Long

During my studies at The School of Wicca, The Secret Science Behind Miracles was required reading. Al Manning frequently referred to The Huna and this book is what he was talking about in great detail, presented from a scientific perspective.

Few spiritual books have stirred as much curiosity and debate as The Secret Science Behind Miracles by Max Freedom Long. Originally published in 1948, this groundbreaking work bridges psychology, spirituality, and ancient wisdom. Long claimed to have uncovered a lost Hawaiian system of spiritual knowledge — the “Huna” — which he described as a scientific method for producing miracles.

For readers exploring the connection between mind, energy, and reality, this book remains a cornerstone of metaphysical literature.
