“The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding.” – Kybalion
So begins the Kybalion, a text published in 1908 and dedicated to Hermes Trismegistus, The Great Great and Master of Masters. The word Kybalion doesn’t really mean anything and it’s likely that the writers made it up to give it a sense of ancient wisdom or esoteric knowledge. And it must have worked, because today, the Kybalion is the most well known and widely read of the hermetic texts.
