The Kybalion

Three Initiates

The Kybalion  is a book originally published in 1908 by "Three Initiates" (often identified as the New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson, 1862–1932) that purports to convey the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus.
While it shares with ancient and medieval Hermetic texts a number of traits such as philosophical mentalism, the concept of 'as above, so below', and the idea that everything consists of gendered polar opposites, as a whole it is more indebted to the ideas of modern occultist authors, especially those of the New Thought movement to which Atkinson belonged. A modern Hermetic tract, it has been widely influential in New Age circles since the twentieth century.

Amidst these world-shaking events, Jordan, Leo, and the other children of light must tread carefully while they search for a sanctuary beyond the reach of the encroaching darkness that has already claimed so much. Will they find a safe haven, or will they perish in the dark as the war rages on? Their journey is fraught with danger, but ancient prophecies hint at salvation. 
  
In this epic tale of courage and resilience, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Will the combined might of gods and heroes be enough to thwart the darkness, or will Tenebroum’s shadow engulf the entire world?
