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

The Kybalion is one of the most enigmatic works of the 20th century. Of unknown authorship and attributed to "three initiates," it purports an ancient origin and invokes Hermes Trismegistus among other figures, proclaiming various axioms and concepts within the Hermetic path.Describing itself as technically introductory work that represents the underlying basis of further materials and ideas within this mysterious ideology, the Kybalions' content has amusingly been partially accepted by modern science- especially with regards to some of its statements about vibration, and its early academic reference to spiritual history, especially with regards to alchemy, which it proclaims as a mental and spiritual metaphor.
