The Kybalion - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The authorship of The Kybalion is attributed to "Three Initiates," a pseudonym concealing its true writers. William Walker Atkinson, a key figure in the New Thought movement, is widely believed to be the primary author. Atkinson was a lawyer, merchant, publisher, and occultist, known for his contributions to American metaphysical thought.The identities of the other two initiates remain unknown, and speculation surrounds their involvement. Some suggest Atkinson worked with other New Thought writers, but evidence is lacking. The use of a collective pseudonym likely aimed to present the work as a unified source of Hermetic wisdom.The Kybalion was first published in 1908 and quickly became a cornerstone of Hermetic and esoteric philosophy. Its teachings on the seven Hermetic principles have shaped spiritual and philosophical movements. Though the authors remain a mystery, the book's influence continues to resonate in metaphysical circles today.
