Since its publication in the early 20th century, the unique concepts and teachings in “The Kybalion” have and continue to enjoy a significant impact in New Age circles. Initially published in 1908 under the authorship of Three Initiates, which is thought to be a pen name of New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, the book is a modern Hermetic tract. Based on the purported teachings of legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus, “The Kybalion” adds a uniquely modern twist and engagingly accessible perspective to medieval Hermetic texts. Readers new to the Hermetic philosophy will find much here that is illuminating and thought-provoking. The seven Hermetic principles of mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity rhythm, cause and effect, and gender are all covered in great detail. Readers who have a basic knowledge of ancient and medieval Hermetica will be particularly interested that “The Kybalion” offers a new slant on the ancient teachings. It is mainly preoccupied with the mental agility and transformation of the practitioner, as opposed to solely focusing on the contemplation and reverence for the divine. Although sometimes criticized as dismissing the historical traditions of Hermetic philosophy in favour of early 20th-century ideas, “The Kybalion” is an insightful and engaging introduction to Hermetic thought. Review: Very substantial book - I had partially read the book and left a review because at first I wasn’t connecting with the authors portion, and recommended purchasing The Kabalion, Three Initiates instead . Although as I’ve read more, I am connecting to the deluxe version more and more and I’m finding it to be very insightful and a worthy read. Not an easy read., these books are for the deep thinking and you’ll get the most from them with a willingness to reread and contemplate. Review: Will be referencing this regularly in my practice and understanding of universal law - Great read and foundational understanding of Hermetic Principles, very simple to understand.

A Clear Foundation
This the clearest account of Hermetic philosophy I have read to date. If you have been studying these truths for a time, this book will connect all of the dots for you. But beyond that, if you are a beginner, START with this book. Of all of the books of Occult Theology and Sciences that I have read, and I have many, this is the most clear. It does not require any kind of extensive religious or scientific vocabulary prior to reading. Any concept you may be struggling to understand will be explained by this book, and every book you read after it will make sense.

wisdom to be found here
One criticism, “The Kybalion” doesn’t appear to actually exist. The author makes many references to a book or text, that doesn’t appear to exist in reality. That being said, whether you agree with the philosophy in this book or not, there is still plenty of thought provoking material and wisdom of ideas to be found here. I enjoyed the booke well enough that I will read it again in the future, after I’ve had some time to absorb its ideas. I think a re-read would prove to be even more insightful and thought provoking.

Authentic edition of The Kybalion with a touch from an insider. Great value, highly recommended!
In my opinion, "The Kybalion" is an essential read for those interested in hermetic philosophy. Among many editions available, this one stands out for maintaining the original 1908 formatting, enhancing its authenticity. The foreword, penned by a long-term hermetic initiate, offers insights and adds depth to this classic text. It is ideal for both newcomers and seasoned students of Western esoteric tradition.

Uma luz reveladora da sabedoria
Me foi recomendado por uma terapeuta. Ler The Kybalion me ajudou muito a compreender coisas que eu intuía e facilitar o entendimento do ritmo da vida e compreender mais sobre a vasta sabedoria antiga que embora ainda permaneça sob véus me é agora mais compreensível.

ヘルメス思想の７つの概念
スピリチュラル関連の調べものをしていて Kybalionからの引用につきあたり、そもそもKybalionて何？というところから探していたら、なんとKindle版で発見！内容的にも文体的にも平易とはいきませんが、ヘルメス思想の基礎となる７つの概念について知りたい人にはおすすめ。

Opinion
Un libro que te cambiara la vida. Eso si, hay que leerlo concentrado y con TODOS los sentidos puestos para poder entenderlo. No es un libro para leer a ratos en el metro o sitios donde no puedas concentrarte al 100%
