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

This book presents a contemporary interpretation of Hermetic theory, reducing its lessons into seven powerful concepts that can be applied to everyday self-development. For millennia, writers and readers of occult literature have been inspired by the fabled Egyptian man-god Hermes Trismegistus, who is considered as the creator of astrology, alchemy, and other magical arts. This succinct and fascinating rendition of the master's teachings was published in 1908 by the unknown authors known as "Three Initiates." It introduces the Hermetic ideas before delving deeper into them, with direct citations from the source material and excellent explanations. This definitive version of one of esoteric literature's classics addresses ideas pertinent to any religious, spiritual, or magical tradition, making it the greatest introduction to Hermeticism for beginners and adepts alike.
