This succinct and fascinating rendition of the master's teachings was published in 1908 by the unknown authors known as Three Initiates. It introduces the Hermetic ideas before delving deeper into them with direct citations from the source material and excellent explanations. This definitive version of one of esoteric literature's classics addresses ideas pertinent to any religious spiritual or magical tradition making it the greatest introduction to Hermeticism for beginners and adepts alike.
