The Emerald Tablet of Hermes & The Kybalion: Two Classic Books on Hermetic Philosophy

If you are looking for answers, this book is a great place to start. It is well-written and provides understandable answers.

Love this book! I read other commentors mentioning that it is no different from similar versions. But since this is the first of it's kind for me to read without reading any other versions. I am happy to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, it is very enganging and the various translations in the beginning gave me confidence that this is a valid aource of info and not from a bias or heavily manipulated standpoint. Considering my research on the subject so I do recommend this for a person that is trying to gain some knowledge of self!

The five stars are for "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes" which is worth the purchase price alone although it is a mere 20 pages - it contains a wealth of information - not only within the text, but in evidencing how the same message can be altered from one group to another.As for the Kybalion, it's a thinly veiled introduction to the Kabbalah mysteries. Never trust a book that tells you that they possess knowledge "but you may not be told this" - translated "we don't know the answer either"! It is written in a difficult to read style, as if by someone not truly at home with English. As even the worst of books possess some glimmer of worth here or there, once you've bought it for the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, it's worth a scanning if you like, but it's not something I could recommend as the main reason to make the purchase.But, "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes" is! Yes, it's expensive for 20 pages - but worth it.

This was an Aha! moment book. I found I was reading things I had always believed... and that they go far, far back into ancient times. For anyone truly interested in the cosmic or hermetic principles -- an excellent read... but don't try to read it in one sitting. Take it in small doses - a chapter or two at a time and let the information percolate through you. It is for me Truth brought into the Aquarian age.

This book offers several translations of the Emerald Table, with historical contexts regarding when and where the translations were made, which proves very useful. The fact that a copy of the Kybalion is included is also exciting, as this work replaced my copy of the latter work as a stand-alone volume. The item came on time and in sufficient packaging to ensure safe arrival.

I found this book to be written in a most humble manner that a thinking person will find useful and understandable. I was able to follow the explanations of Hermetic principles without getting lost. Perhaps because I have read the Kybalion. This book helped make sense of the sensibilities of of our human nature in a way that was very hopeful, and gave clear concise and directive momentum in how, a person could improve their mindset toward attaining an improvement of their personal wellbeing. I highlyrecommend this book for seekers of self understanding and a happier perspective of the why questions we all may want answers for.

Ancient wisdom explained so that modern people can understand it. This book does contain actual ancient wisdom. It is also explained very well. I would have liked some archeological evidence of the sources. It is definitely enlightening reading. I personally disregarded the superstitious religious and spiritual assertions and focused on the natural philosophical teachings and aphorisms that have been scientifically verified.This should be required reading for all students of the occult

Lots of translations but missing a lot of context from the original

Many have spoken with more eloquence than me about this book. I will simply add my voice to those who think they obtained much inner-personal gain by reading it.

Excelente livro. Chegou no prazo previsto.

Considering that the publishers do not have to pay any royalty to the author as it is a classic , I found the book too thin and the font small . Could have done a better job in typesetting and book layout .But in any case it is a classic and a must read for anyone who loves mystic philosophy . You can ignore the material deficiencies for the spiritual Gem
