About this listen

Hermeticism, inspired by Hermes Trismegistus—a fusion of Greek Hermes and Egyptian Thoth—emphasizes spiritual transformation, direct divine knowledge (gnosis), and unity with the cosmos. Its core texts, like the Corpus Hermeticum and Emerald Tablet, teach that humanity mirrors the divine, the material and spiritual worlds are intertwined, and enlightenment is achieved through reverence, self-knowledge, and altered states of consciousness. Hermeticism deeply influenced Western esoteric thought.
