Trismegistus Hermes Books

    Hermes Trismegistus is the purported author of the Hermetic Corpus, a collection of sacred texts forming the foundation of Hermeticism. While often presented as a single figure, Trismegistus is more of an embodiment of wisdom and knowledge that evolved over centuries. His writings delve into the nature of the universe, divinity, and humanity's place within the cosmos. As a legendary figure, his literary style is not examined in a traditional sense, but rather the profound influence and content of his philosophical and spiritual teachings are explored.

      The Corpus Hermeticum is one of the primary works within the Hermetic Tradition. This Renaissance era craft is nonetheless based upon philosophical materials from far older times, namely the third or fourth century AD, from which the primordial material came. Credited to Hermes Trismegistus, the Divine Pymander (sometimes spelled "Poemander") touches upon astronomy, science, nature, and a great deal of theological material. It is presented in the form of discourse; a format which will be familiar to anyone also familiar with Plato's "Republic" and some similar philosophical works of antiquity. Through his discourse with several individuals, Trismegistus attempts to draw upon the overarching philosophy "as above, so below." Thus then, this work describes the very process and ideation behind all of existence, the purpose of life, and the nature of good and evil, all through its treatises upon various topics.
