Way of the Hermes: New Translations of the Corpus Hermeticum and the Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius

helpful

Makes you understand the God principle, the sale god as in religious perspective... And also how destiny controls us. Small book to read and very deep

Amazing, DEEP wisdom. This book has changed my life, after reading this i now know the mysteries of this reality....

Nice introduction to the background to modern paganism and the rise of Spirituality. A must for anyone interested in spiritual development and even those with religious interest.

I can’t stress enough how good this book is. I’ve had a rather profound awakening in my life of late and one of the things that came out of it was a pull towards hermeticism. As a result I ordered several books on the subject that were recommended during a YouTube presentation. I hadn’t planned on starting with this one, but it arrived first and wasn’t too big so I was like, “what the heck, I’ll just start here”. So glad I did. Honestly one of the best books I have ever read. It meshes perfectly with my awakened experience and I feel very honoured to have received it. It’s a beautiful translation! Unless someone is dogmatically married to a separate belief system making them overly critical and closed minded, I could not fathom anyone not appreciating this work.

The book is excellent. The vendor is very trustworthy

Probably my favorite translation to just sit and read. Other versions translate the word "Nous" as Mind, but it is so much more. Leaving it as Nous adds an extra element to the text in my eyes. Excellent work.

A short book on the old manuscript. There are some interesting additional papers which are valuable editions.

I am a scholar of Religion, with expertise in the Hindu and Christian traditions, but I am also very familiar with the History of Philosophy from the Pre-Socratics to Plato to Augustine to the Scholastics to the Moderns and to the 19th and 20th century post-Kant philosophy. Recently, I have been studying more of the Gnostic Scriptures from Nag Hammadi, and I recently came across Hermes, Thoth, and the relation between Ancient Egypt and Platonic philosophy and Hinduism. Truly, this is an amazing resource! The rendition is so poetic and filled with emotional fervor for the ultimate reality. I'm amazed at how close the teachings in this book are to Advaita Vedanta mixed with a Platonic understanding of Nous. Really great!
