Chargement... The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohspar Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() This was a small collection of writings from a number of hermetic sources, purportedly from Hermes Trismegistus (the reincarnation or third return of Thoth-Hermes.) They speak to the place of the human mind and spirit in relation to Atum (the collective consciousness sometimes referred to as God, but not quite the right context.) "Words lead us to the doorway of Truth, but only by contemplating their meaning can we pass through." I sadly don't understand anything about this stuff! This is a thin book, pulling out some choice bits out of what I assume is a much, much larger and even harder to comprehend text written by Hermes Trismegistus, whomever you believe him (they?) to be. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The first easily accessible translation of the esoteric writings that inspired some of the world's greatest artists, scientists, and philosophers. Here is an essential digest of the Greco-Egyptian writings attributed to the legendary sage-god Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for thrice-greatest Hermes)?a combination of the Egyptian Thoth and the Greek Hermes. The figure of Hermes was venerated as a great and mythical teacher in the ancient world and was rediscovered by the finest minds of the Renaissance. The writings attributed to his hand are a time capsule of Egyptian and Greek esoteric philosophy and have influenced figures including Blake, Newton, Milton, Shelley, Shakespeare, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jung. Providing a fascinating introduction to the intersection of the Egyptian and Hellenic cultures and the magico-religious ideas of the antique world, "The Hermetica" is a marvelous volume for anyone interested in understanding the West's roots in mystical thought.
