"You have natural magical abilities that can elevate your life to a new ""level,"" as well as heal and help others. The original teacher of this divine magic was an Egyptian sage named Hermes Trismegistus. His ""teachings,"" called ""Hermetics,"" were only taught verbally or in very cryptic writings. In ""1908,"" they were collected in a book called The ""Kybalion,"" although still in very archaic language. Now Dr. Virtue presents a clearly edited version of The Kybalion in understandable modern ""language,"" with her own commentary."
