About the author
Summum Three Initiates is the credited author of this edition of The Kybalion: A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece, a text first published anonymously in 1908 under the pseudonym 'Three Initiates' and long associated with figures from the New Thought movement. This particular edition, issued through the Kybalion Resource Page, reproduces the original 1908 text unchanged and adds black-and-white illustrations at the opening of each chapter along with additional images throughout, giving the book a quieter, more contemplative presentation than standard reprints. The Kybalion sets out seven hermetic principles said to underlie mentalism, correspondence, and vibration, and has circulated for over a century as an entry point into Hermetic philosophy. This edition serves readers who already know the text and want a more visually considered printing rather than new commentary or scholarship.
