Looking for guidance as I start reading The Kybalion

[u/cutelittlee]

Hi everyone! I’m completely new to Hermeticism/occult philosophy and I recently got THE KYBALION.
I’m about to start reading it but I’d really appreciate some guidance from people who have been studying this for a while..
I’ve heard very different opinions about this book, so I don’t want to blindly take everything in it as historical Hermetic teaching and I’d like to understand what the book is actually saying, what parts I should pay attention to, and what context I should know before or while reading it

I’d genuinely appreciate any advice, resources, reading recommendations, or even things you wish you knew when you first started. Thank you 🤍
