The Kybalion

The Kybalion is a volume of Hermetic Philosophy. Anonymously printed in 1908, the book claims to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Many of its ideas are relatively modern concepts arising from the New Thought movement. The Kybalion will make its appearance in one's life when the time is appropriate, and never before. The "Three Initiates" who authored The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous. As a result, a great deal of speculation has been made about who actually wrote the book.
