Two Pillars of Hermetic Wisdom. One Essential Volume.
The Kybalion & The Emerald Tablet of Hermes brings together two of the most profound and enduring texts in the history of Western esotericism — essential reading for students of Hermeticism, alchemy, New Thought, and ancient philosophy.
"When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom."
The Kybalion — first published anonymously in 1908 by "The Three Initiates" — presents the seven foundational Hermetic principles that govern the universe:
- Mentalism — all is mind; the universe is mental
- Correspondence — as above, so below; as within, so without
- Vibration — nothing rests; everything moves and vibrates
- Polarity — everything has its opposite; opposites are identical in nature
- Rhythm — everything flows in and out; the pendulum swings
- Cause & Effect — every cause has its effect; chance is but a name for law
- Gender — gender is in everything; everything has masculine and feminine principles
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes — one of the most mysterious and studied texts in human history — distills the secrets of prima materia, the foundational substance of the universe, into just 14 cryptic stanzas. Studied by Sir Isaac Newton, debated by philosophers and theologians for over a millennium, and said to contain the blueprint of creation itself.
Together, these two works form an unparalleled introduction to Hermetic philosophy — timeless wisdom tied to no particular religion or era, but to the universal truths of existence.
