splinter group, the Fraternity of the Hidden Light. This story appears to have originated with a B.O.T.A. This theory is often held by members of Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.), the Mystery School later founded by Case, though the group doesn't publicly make this claim itself. A common theory is that Atkinson co-wrote the book with Paul Foster Case and Michael Whitty. Atkinson was known to use many pseudonyms, and to self-publish his works. The most common proposal is that The Kybalion was authored by William Walker Atkinson, either alone or with others, such as Paul Foster Case and Elias Gewurz. As a result, a great deal of speculation has been made about who actually wrote the book.
"The "Three Initiates" who authored The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous. For sale by Jon Wobber, bookseller since 1978. Not ex-library, not remaindered, not a facsimile reprint. Pages, lightly tanned, are flat without creases. In spite of the separation inside the binding, the binding is tight with no looseness to the pages. Otherwise, there are no previous owner markings. The tanning on the copyright page is due to lighting, not to the color of the page. Ownership name and address embossed on title page. There is a bookseller's pencil price inside the front cover. Previous owners private library sticker is inside the front cover. There is separation in the binding inside both the back and front covers. Gilt lettering and decoration on spine and front cover slightly faded, more so on the spine.
