THE KYBALION
by Three Initiates (1908)
First published in 1908, The Kybalion is one of the most influential and widely read works of modern Hermetic philosophy. Attributed to the mysterious “Three Initiates,” this concise yet profound text presents the timeless principles said to govern all planes of existence — mental, spiritual, and material.
Drawing upon the legendary teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, the book outlines the Seven Hermetic Principles: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These universal laws form the foundation of much Western esoteric thought and offer a framework for understanding consciousness, reality, and the hidden structure of the cosmos.
Written in clear, accessible language, The Kybalion serves both as an introduction to Hermetic ideas and as a guide for deeper contemplation. Its teachings have influenced generations of occultists, mystics, and seekers of inner knowledge, and it remains a cornerstone text for students of esoteric philosophy.
This Troy Books edition presents the complete classic work in a clean, reader-friendly format, making this enduring Hermetic text available to a new generation.
