Hermes Trismegistus was an ancient Egyptian, a genius elevated to the status of god, the father of alchemy, astrology, and the magical arts. The figure of Hermes has fascinated students of the occult for generations, and the sages of late antiquity named Hermes Trismegistus as the author of their own esoteric lineage. The Kybalion is one of the most recent works in this sacred lineage, and it has generated much debate and controversy... who are the Three Initiates? Initiates to what tradition? In this concise and easy to read book, the Initiates present the Hermetic doctrine in seven compelling principles, and provide practical methods for applying them to personal self-development in everyday life.
