The two gods were understood to be one and the same; the figure of Hermes Trismegistus arose from this syncretism, and can also be found in Islamic writings. Writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus form the basis of hermeticism which became popular during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, when it was associated with astrology, magic, alchemy, and philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe identity of the Three Initiates has been the subject of much secrecy and rumor since \u003ci\u003eThe Kybalion\u003c\/i\u003e first appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is now believed that William Walker Atkinson was one of or perhaps the sole author of the book. Born in 1862, Atkinson was a pioneer of the New Thought movement who wrote an estimated 100 books during his lifetime.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 7.9 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42691447947327,"sku":"9781250897848","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/014537754cdddfd80c8cd3553bb4074b.webp?v=1764992145","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-book-of-hermetica-the-three-essential-texts-the-corpus-hermeticum-the-emerald-tablet-the-kybalion-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
