The Kybalion
A study of the hermetic philosophy of ancient Egypt and Greece
By Three Initiates
Narrated by Denis Daly
The Kybalion purports to be an exposition of the teaching of the mysterious Hermes Trismegistus, a legendary figure, whose origin is buried in Egyptian mythology. A considerable body of literature that expounds theories and practices attributed to him is extant and has been categorized as Hermetic.
The focus of early Hermetic literature was on conjuring and alchemy. In later centuries, Hermeticism developed into a philosophy of personal self-development, the object of which was the understanding and transcending of physical reality.
One of the authors of the Kybalion is believed to be William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932), who was a prolific composer of New Thought texts, and whose company published the book.
Many of the principles expounded in the Kybalion have found their way into material popularly used in the self-help industry of today.
