 In this episode we look into the history of The Kybalion with author Philip Deslippe, who wrote the extensive introduction for the newly released book The Kybalion, The Definitive Edition. Seemingly shrouded in mystery, The Kybalion has been a popular text for the last one hundred years and has been a big influence in many people’s lives. In the early episodes of this podcast we went through The Kybalion and the seven hermetic laws that it discusses. In our conversation with Philip Deslippe we learn about some of his recent findings in regards to the text and its author William Walker Atkinson and we wrap up our discussion with Atkinson’s lost book The Seven Cosmic Laws just now appearing in print. In A Corner in the Occult we look into famous American occultist, Tarot expert, and author Paul Foster Case. Not only was Case an initiate of the famous Alpha et Omega and even a Freemason, but he was also the founder of the Builders of the Adytum an Order following in the Western Esoteric Tradition which still exists to this day. Later in the show we discuss the magickal altar in The Essence of Magick, read some listener email and embrace some wonderful music by featured artist Jasmine Commerce. All this and more in this great enlightening episode!

I know what you mean Lloyd. I purchased a Kindle earlier in the year to accommodate books that I have as PDFs, but could never afford in hardback or to personally print out like Vol. 1-10 of Crowley's The Equinox. Though like you said there is nothing like having the real thing to hold and flip through.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the interview. Philip was a great guest and I hope to have him on again in the future. The Kybalion The Definitive Edition is a nicely done text and Philip's writing style is very engaging and easy to read.
Be well!
