This book emphasises the primary importance of Hermetism in Renaissance thought. The Hermetic treatises were believed to be by an ancient Egyptian, prophet of Christianity; these associations strengthened their enormous impact on Ficino and the Neoplatonic movement. Pico della Mirandola yoked Hermetism with Cabalism and the Hermetic- Cabalist tradition continued as an "occult philosophy" both magical and mystical. Giordano Bruno is here for the first time placed within the context of this tradition of which he represents an original variation. He emerges as a Hermetic philosopher and magician with an unorthodox religious message. Even his support of Copemican heliocentricity is associated with Ficino's solar magic. This revolutionary reinterpretation pro¬ foundly affects our understanding of Bruno and of his death at the stake. The Hermetic tradition is followed beyond the death of Bruno into the seventeenth century, particularly in Campanella. The correct dating in 1614 of the Hermetic treatises marked the end of the dominance of Hermetism though it continued to exert a hidden influence. The controversies of Fludd with Mersenne and Kepler arc seen as a conflict between a late revival of the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition and the seventeenth-century scientific movement.

Egyptian Culture and Religion's Influence on Other Beliefs

Did you know that the worship of Isis and Osiris may have contributed to the early Christianity? IN THIS ARTICLE, read about religions & systems influenced by Ancient Egypt. #EgyptianCulture #ReligiousInfluence #IsisAndOsiris #AncientHistory 🏛️

Egyptian culture and religion had a profound influence on many other religions and cultures throughout history. From as early as predynastic times, Nubia was influenced by Egyptian culture and religion, while Syria was impacted in the 3rd millennium BCE. The New Kingdom of Egypt was very receptive to Middle Eastern cults, and Egyptian medical and magical expertise was highly regarded by the…

The Ritman Library has the largest collection of Hermetica and other esoteric books in Europe, including copies of famous alchemical works like Atalanta fugiens. Here are a couple of engravings by Heinrich Khunrath. The owl is his colophon--and my Tumblr avatar-- and the laboratory shows him praying in his own alchemy lab

cw: discussion of r*pe culture 'In her delight, Echo rushed to Narcissus ready to throw her arms around her beloved. Narcissus, however, was appalled and, spurning her, exclaimed, "Hands off! May I die before you enjoy my body.’ So here we have a figure clearly and very reasonably asserting his boundaries after someone has crossed them by rushing and embracing him without pausing to get consent, and Narcissus is expressing himself in a way that might suggest a fear of touch, of past trauma, although he shouldn’t have to justify his ‘No’. Echo is not entitled to his body or his affection. This is supposed to be a cautionary tale, but the message we all take from it is that Narcissus was being self-centered, ignoring the ‘needs’ of the Oread Echo, or in an earlier source than Ovid, vast numbers of elder male suitors: 'the myth of Narcissus is a Boeotian pederastic* cautionary tale, a story meant to teach by counterexample.' And we've demonised him in our culture to the extent that his name has become synonymous with 'abuser' – not just a person who sometimes behaves abusively, but someone who because of their lack of empathy, so the narrative goes, is destined to exploit others time and again. Narcissistic personality disorder is characterised by fear of rejection and abuse so intense that a person creates a false, oftentimes grandiose persona so as not to appear vulnerable to others who might hurt them. Where Narcissus displays anything in the fashion of a false persona, or defensive self-aggrandisement, in the source material is unclear. But in Narcissus we have a fearful character that clearly communicates his boundaries and goes about his business, an ascetic even, meditating on the Hermetic adage 'As within, so without', focused on his own spiritual development, not hurting anyone but respecting his own boundaries, learning to love himself so hard he transforms into a flower with myriad healing properties [i.e, by loving himself, he develops the capacity to contribute to the healing of others], and for this he's painted as this frigid person, lacking in empathy, which we are led to believe is the characteristic of someone monstrous. If that's not rape culture in action, colouring the intent of the story and our modern interpretation, then projecting it onto a boogeyman diagnosis, I don't know what is. Consider also that Narcissus is canonically the product of a rape, of the Naiad Liriope, a spring nymph, by the river-god Cephissus. Liriope’s name literally means ‘face of the narcissus’, and it’s a spring Narcissus gazes into, according to Pausanias, contemplating his reflection, his face, his Ecco even, in need of healing from Hera’s curse of restricted communicative capacity. ____________ *’It's thought that, in the liberal sexual atmosphere of ancient Greece, his story developed as a cautionary tale as to what could happen to beautiful young men who rejected their elders' advances.’ http://www.papyrology.ox.ac.uk/POxy/news/narcissus.html id. Midjourney-generated painting from the description 'two characters, side by side, the Greek mythological figure Narcissus, and Echo the Oread, gazing at their reflections in a pool of water, in the style of John William Waterhouse'

The Arbatel of the Ancients: Renaissance Magic as a Modern Mystic

In omnibus consule Dominum, et nihil cogites, dicas, facias, quod tibi Deus non consuluerit. In all things consult the Lord, and don’t think, speak, or do anything without God’s counsel. (Peterson, 2009, pp.3) This post, and the musings surrounding it have their precedents in a few works of mine that more curious readers may benefit from perusing. Namely: Hermetic Heathenry: Part I –…

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes

1. Tis true without lying, certain most true.

2. That which is below is like that which is above that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing.

3. And as all things have been arose from one by the meditation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.

4. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother,

5. the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth its nurse.

6. The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.

7. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.

7a. Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.

8. It ascends from the earth to the heaven again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior.

9. By this means ye shall have the glory of the whole world thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.

10. Its force is above all force. for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.

11a. So was the world created.

12. From this are and do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (Or process) is here in this.

13. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.

14. That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.

Translation by Isaac Newton c. 1680, found among his alchemical papers as reported by B. J. Dobbs in modern spelling.
