Episode 2: What is the Way of Hermes?

  • Resumen

  • The Way of Hermes or “Hermeticism” can be understood as the religious, spiritual, philosophical, and magical movement or milieu (if not quite a tradition properly, and not exactly a centralized or standardized thing) initiated by Hellenistic (or Hellenically-conversant) Egyptian priests operating in a Hellenistic context and attributed to the mythological figure Hermēs Trismegistos, which produced a series of religious, spiritual, philosophical, and magical texts.

    It’s important to note that “Hermeticism” is a term that was only first used to describe such a thing starting in the Renaissance, and was never used in the classical period, whether by people inside or outside this movement; for them, it was just generically “Egyptian”. Hermeticism only started to be seen as its own thing starting in the (specifically Italian) Renaissance with the rediscovery of the Corpus Hermeticum.
