What Ancient Egypt Can Teach Us
This article by occult historian Mitch Horowitz serves as a short introduction to The Kybalion, a brief but influential book that marries aspects of ancient Hermetic thought with the ideas of the 19th century mind-power (or New Thought) movement. It’s become fashionable to bash the book for its differences from traditional Hermeticism, but I’d argue that it’s a much more practical work — and thus more immediately useful for those with an interest in folk magic — than the mysticism-drenched Corpus Hermeticum.
The Kybalion is in the public domain and freely available online.
