The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohs.
'The Hermetica' contains a selection of key passages from the writings attributed to Hermes, a great Egyptian sage who lived around 3000 BCE. His wisdom and knowledge was so vast he was given the title "Trismegistus", meaning "Thrice-great". As significant as Eastern scriptures like the 'Tao Te Ching', the influential works of Hermes have now, for the first time, become equally as accessible. Carefully researched and in a clear new version, this book brings out the essence of his teachings in a simple and inspiring way.
Starting with Hermes' account of his own mystical initiation by a powerful Spirit Guide, you are led on a journey of enlightenment. This journey explores astrology and magic, freedom and fate, reincarnation and immortality, goodness and ignorance and the expansion of awareness by use of the imagination.
This book provides a fascinating and mystical introduction to the philosophy of ancient Egypt which has influenced and shaped our world for five millennia.
'The Hermetica' is a forgotten spiritual classic, which has fascinated and inspired the greatest minds in Western history. This new version by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy brings to life the wisdom of ancient Egypt for our modern age, revealing its profound relevance to our lives today.
