Hmmm! One could look at it like this:

While it seems like a lot of work to write the 
VMs, and it would not seem worth the effort if all
the contents are meaningless, it would have taken
a far greater effort to actually collect such an 
amount of 'real secret knowledge'. 
It might have been way over the head of the person
who wrote it.

A long time ago I was reading about Agrippa. He 
was the founder of one of many 'secret' groups.
Admittance to such groups would require some 
kind of qualification, and possession of a book
like the VMs might do it.

Cheers, Rene
