The Kybalion: A Study of Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece

‘The Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece’ is a book originally published in 1908 by Three Initiates (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson) that appears to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. The precepts of Hermetic philosophy remained shrouded in secrecy for more than two thousand years, clouded by obscure language and dense allegories.

Here you will be introduced to the Seven Hermetic Principles, a foundation upon which one can build their own personal spiritual path. A modern Hermetic tract, it has been widely influential in New Age circles since the twentieth century.

This concise guide offers a modern interpretation of the doctrine, distilling its teachings with seven compelling principles that can be applied to self-development in daily life. It is a concise and elegant treatise on occultism and High Magic in Greece and Egypt.

According to legend, the ancient Egyptian sage Hermes Trismegistus is the father of astrology, alchemy, and other magical arts. His Hermetic philosophy was instrumental in the development of esoteric thought. This anonymous guide, written a century ago by "Three Initiates," offers a distillation of Hermetic doctrine.
