The Hermetic Principles
The oldest thinking about how reality works, read properly from the sources and applied to the thing you're building. Seven principles, three gatherings with each.
Opens in the Salon after Quantum Theories
The series
What The Hermetic Principles is
7 principles · 21 gatheringsThe Hermetic tradition is far older than the language of quantum physics, and it points at the same territory from the other side of history.
Where Quantum Theories teaches the lens, Mentalism teaches the forge, where what you make is made first.
Three gatherings with each principle
Each gathering carries a teaching film, a lens, one question held in small circles, and an Invitation to carry through the week. Three of them make a principle, and a principle is also a course of its own.
The lens
What the principle is, and the way of seeing it opens.
In life and business
The lens carried into your days and into what you’re building.
The mystery
What is still unknown, sat with honestly rather than tidied away.
Four layers, from the text to your work
Most courses summarise the seven principles in an afternoon. We give each one three gatherings, and inside them four layers: the book itself, the older tradition behind it, the teaching, and your own work.
The Axiom
The principle read aloud, whole, from our edition. The text speaks first, every time.
Free to everyoneThe Older Tradition
What the Emerald Tablet and the Corpus Hermeticum actually say on this ground: the sources behind the source.
The Teaching
The principle unfolded honestly, and carried into the life of someone making something real.
The Work
An experiment to live with, and one page written into your own Ledger.
One principle at a time

The Kybalion, the community edition
The full 1908 text, all fifteen chapters, unabridged, set with care in the community's own edition. Each chapter opens on its axiom, full page: the same pages the films read from. With a foreword on how this community reads the book, and the Emerald Tablet as an appendix.
- ✦Comes with the full Hermetic course
- ✦Free to every Salon member
- ✦The complete text: nothing modernised, nothing trimmed
Your Ledger of Principles
Each principle closes with one page: the axiom, what your experiment actually showed you, and one decision in your work it changed. Seven principles, seven pages, gathered at the end into one document that is yours, about your work, in your words.
Cause & Effect
We'll tell you exactly what this book is
The Kybalion was written in 1908: a composition around a tradition far older than itself, reaching back through the alchemists and the Emerald Tablet to the ancient Hermetic writings. Most courses either pretend the book is ancient or don't know the difference.
We honour it for what it is: the doorway. Then we walk through it to the older tradition on the other side, and we bring those texts with us. We take the old knowledge seriously enough to read where it truly comes from.
Not a video library

Courses you buy are yours to keep. In the Salon, every course is included while you're a member. If you cancel, access runs to the end of your month, and anything you bought stays yours.
These are the first series, not the complete set. The principles here are a starting point: there is more depth in each one, and more themes still to come as the Salon keeps going.
Questions
Do I need to have done Quantum Theories first?
No. The Hermetic Principles stand on their own. The two series point at the same territory from different sides, so each one deepens the other, but neither is a prerequisite.
When does it start in the Salon?
Once Quantum Theories is complete. Then it runs the same way: one principle at a time, three Sundays each, at the pace the room needs.
When can I buy the full course?
When all seven principles are finished in the Salon. The full course comes with the community edition of The Kybalion.
Is this a religious or occult course?
No. We read the Hermetic tradition as a body of ideas worth investigating: the text, the older sources behind it, and what it looks like in a working life. Nobody is asked to believe anything.
