About this listen

These are the remaining fragments from the otherwise lost hymns of Hermes Trismegistus. Included are the gnostic hymns:

  • A Triple Trisagion.
  • A Hymn to All-Father God.
  • The Secret Hymnody.
  • A Hymn of Grace for Gnosis.
  • A Song of Praise to the Aeon.

These writings are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, an ancient Egyptian sage, the founder of all arts and sciences, both mundane and spiritual. Rather than being an actual person, Hermes is the Egyptian personification of the "Gnostic Revealer."

The Hymns of Hermes examines Hermetic ecstatic hymns, which are songs of a poetic nature used to describe the Gnosis of Hermetic attainment and the ecstatic personal experience of the divine.
