The Kybalion
by Three Initiates
An online ebook edition of The Kybalion -- this book is a study of basic hermetic teachings that outlines an ageless wisdom. In ancient times (and even today) these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students, after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates and Masters to their Neophytes. The Kybalion was originally written in the early 1900s and is now in the public domain. A priceless gem!

Nothing is permanent but Change
"... all things [are] evolving from other things, and resolving into other things..." - The Kybalion

Therefore, change must apply to The Kybalion as well. While The Kybalion is a great little book, you gotta admit, its language is slowly becoming more outdated. A new publication has evolved that breathes fresh life into an age old philosophy...

Summum and The Kybalion
If you liked The Kybalion, you'll love the book found here. It offers ideas to questions and issues not found in the Kybalion. Check out the Grand Principle from which the Seven Principles are derived. This is certainly a jewel of hidden treasure!

  "The voice of wisdom is silent, except to the open mind." - Summum

The epilogue of the Summum book tells a very fascinating story about one man's research into The Kybalion and what he discovered. Check out the following link:

Who were the Three Initiates?

The authors of The Kybalion chose not to associate their names with the book, possibly because the principles and philosophy it outlines cannot be credited to any person. Were they self-proclaimed initiates or did someone or something initiate them? And if they were initiated, who or what did it and what was the initiation? As mysteries abound, explore the rest of the links on this page and see where they lead you.

Hermes

Hermes Trismegistus

The Three Initiates dedicated The Kybalion to a figure by the name of Hermes Trismegistus whom they credit for this information. But the axioms really describe the intelligence and characteristics of nature, and so the source could be considered nature itself rather than a person. Nevertheless, the figure of Hermes has become closely tied to the work. Who or what was he? Explore the myths, the legends, the stories.
