Produktbeschreibung

What is Hermetics, exactly? Many people are unaware of it. However, they are familiar with the term "hermetically sealed." It's tough to put into words exactly what Hermetics does mean. It's a bit like attempting to define alchemy or mysticism, which is a tricky concept. The research and understanding of alchemy, magic, and astrology are known as hermetic. The word "hermetic" comes from the Greek word "herm" and the Greek god "Hermes," who was revered for his wisdom and intelligence. For the alchemical procedures of extraction and filtration, the term "hermetically sealed" signified the term "airtight."

With the rise of Christianity in the second century CE, early Hermetic literature had emerged. It was centered on the Corpus Hermeticum, a collection of holy, mystical books. Some of the books in the Corpus Hermeticum feature esoteric teachings via exchanges between Poimandres and Hermes and Asclepius to his son, Tat. The teachings include a wide range of philosophical concerns, stressing the existence of the soul and the fundamental constituents of the universe.

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus is among the most amazing Hermetic works. Alexander the Great has unearthed The Emerald Tablet in a cave near Hebron. The three aspects of wisdom known as alchemy, astrology, and theurgy were carved on the tablet.
