About the author
The identity of the Three Initiates, authors of the influential esoteric text 'The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy', remains shrouded in mystery, sparking much debate among scholars and practitioners of occultism. Published in 1908, 'The Kybalion' is often regarded as a compact distillation of Hermetic philosophy, encapsulating seven core principles that underpin the Hermetic tradition. While the true identities of the Three Initiates are unconfirmed, some speculate that they may have been a group linked to the early 20th century New Thought movement, or possibly associates of the Masonic lodge or the Rosicrucians. Others suggest that William Walker Atkinson, a known figure in the New Thought and occult circles of the time, may have used the pseudonym to publish 'The Kybalion'. Regardless of their anonymity, the Three Initiates have left an indelible mark on the study of esoteric wisdom through their literary contributions. 'The Kybalion' continues to be a cornerstone text for students of occult philosophy, influencing modern interpretations of ancient Hermetic teachings and contributing to the ongoing discourse on the nature of reality and the universe.
