The Hermetica is a forgotten classic which is as important as well known eastern scriptures like the Upanishads, the Dhammapada and the Tao Te Ching.The hermetica is credited to Hermes who lived around 3000 BC, an ancient Egyptian sage, so honoured and respected that he was given the title 'Trismegistus', meaning 'Thrice-great'. His teachings were like a holy bible in the mystery traditions of Egypt and Greece. The Egyptian originals of the ancient text of Hermes have been long lost, but Greek and Latin copies have survived. This book presents these scriptures in a clear and accessible style, making this ancient wisdom relevant and inspiring to modern readers.
