The Kybalion

"The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy" is a book published in 1908 which claims to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Its authors are identified as "The Three Initiates," and their identities remain a mystery. The work delves into seven Hermetic principles, including the principles of Mentalism, Correspondence, and Vibration, among others. These principles serve as foundational concepts in Hermetic philosophy, which posits that a hidden knowledge or wisdom can be sought out and understood by those prepared to receive it. "The Kybalion" is often considered a guide to understanding and harnessing universal laws.
