The Kybalion: Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece

This work was pioneeringly published in Brazil in 1912 by Editora Pensamento, and is considered among countless scholars of Western esotericism, hermeticism and occult philosophy to be one of the most important works on the subject, containing the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, as taught in the hermetic schools of Ancient Egypt and Greece.

Many of the ideas presented here anticipated relatively modern concepts, such as the “Law of Attraction” and ideas linked to the New Thought Movement. Although older texts – such as the Emerald Tablet – have summarized Hermetic Philosophy to a series of brief axioms, The Kybalion analyzes its central points, explaining and detailing each of them, in addition to presenting a new structure, more understandable to the lay reader. .

Therefore, the countless admirers of this work, such as scholars, philosophers and alchemists, consider it an authoritative text on Hermeticism, second only to the Corpus Hermeticum and the Emerald Tablet itself.
