There is no portion of the occult teachings possessed by the world which have been so closely guarded as the fragments of the Hermetic Teachings which have come down to us over the tens of centuries which have elapsed since the lifetime of its great founder, Hermes Trismegistus, the 'scribe of the gods,' who dwelt in old Egypt in the days when the present race of men was in its infancy.

Our intent is not to erect a new Temple of Knowledge, but rather to place in the hands of the student a Master-Key with which he may open the many inner doors in the Temple of Mystery through the main portals he has already entered.

The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of the Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study. There has been so little written upon this subject, notwithstanding the countless references to the Teachings in the many works upon occultism, that the many earnest searchers after the Arcane Truths will doubtless welcome the appearance of the present volume. 45.We take great pleasure in presenting to the attention of students and investigators of the Secret Doctrines this little work based upon the world-old Hermetic Teachings. The new introduction by Richard Smoley, a celebrated scholar of mystical traditions, makes this a historical keepsake. 9780143131687 The Kybalion: Centenary Edition 45.2000 NZD InStock /shop/books /shop/books/non-fiction /shop/books/non-fiction/mind-body-spirit /shop/books/non-fiction/mind-body-spirit/occult-studies The most popular occult work of the twentieth century-now in a hardbound edition that evokes the original volume, with a new introduction by scholar of mysticism Richard Smoley.
