About the Author

The authors of The Kybalion chose to be anonymous, possibly because the principles and philosophy it outlines cannot be accredited to any person. Living around the turn of the twentieth century, speculation abounds on their identity. There are some who make the argument that William Walker Atkinson (1862 - 1932) was its sole author. Founded in 1975, Summum is a non-profit organization whose aim is to assist those on a genuine path of spiritual development.
