	The physician and philosopher Sir Thomas Browne
		Such was the revival of interest in alchemy and Hermetic philosophy that in 1654 the preacher John Webster exhorted - ' the philosophy of Hermes revived by the Paracelsian school should be taught in Universities'.
		Though little recognised by scholars of the hermetic tradition The Garden of Cyrus is a supreme example of the influence of alchemy and hermetic thought in seventeenth century literature.
		Although often defined as marginal to the study of alchemy his Rebus Urn-Burial and The Garden of Cyrus scintillates and sparkles with a comprehensive knowledge of the alchemical and hermetic tradition.

		y experience is that, having followed the Hermetic preparatory studies of astrology and magic (alchemy no doubt also works, but I have not been inspired to study it) that Hermetic philosophy accurately describes Reality.
		The availability of the complete Corpus Hermeticum in Latin set off an explosion of interest in Hermetic philosophy and the three allied esoteric fields of astrology, alchemy and magic.
		Casaubon's view that the Corpus Hermeticum was, "...made up partly from the writings of Plato and the Platonists and partly from Christian sacred books." [Yates at 400.] is also the currently scholarly opinion of the origin of the Corpus.

	Alchemy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the course of the early modern period, as mainstream alchemy evolved into modern chemistry, its mystic and Hermetic aspects became the focus of a modern spiritual alchemy, where material manipulations are viewed as mere symbols of spiritual transformations.
		Nevertheless, alchemy was one of the main precursors of modern sciences, and we owe to the ancient alchemists the discovery of many substances and processes that are the mainstay of modern chemical and metallurgical industries.
		Chinese alchemy was closely connected to Taoist forms of medicine, such as Acupuncture and Moxibustion, and to martial arts such as Tai Chi Chuan and Kung Fu (although some Tai Chi schools believe that their art derives from the Hygienic or Philosophical branches of Taoism, not the Alchemical).

	Hermetic Science - The Hermetic Concept
		The evolutionary doctrine of alchemy is scarcely a subject for formal quotation from the sequence of alchemical literature, for it is the foundation and sum of that literature.
		Through the understanding and application of these Hermetic laws a power is created which is easily capable of controlling the material self, and man may continue in both physical and mental vigor sol long as he cares to use the body as a habitation and the local from which to direct his activities.
		Hermetic science in its literature enshrined both processes, which accounts for its composite character, like a skein of silk in which two colors, distinct, though almost inextricable, are confusedly tangled and braided.

	Hermetic Alchemy
		Hermetic Alchemy was one of the first branches of esoteric knowledge that I studied in my youth, drawn thither by my studies of Carl Jung, whose researches on Alchemy absorbed his attention throughout most of his later years.
		The most famous original source of Hermetic Alchemy is the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus.
		The writings of the Hermetic Alchemists have exercised a fascination upon the imaginations of scholars and casual seekers alike for centuries.

	Mary Anne Atwood: Hermetic Philosophy and Alchemy ~ Chapter 2
		We do not presume to suppose that such a view of nature will be immediately acceptable, or that the Hermetic theory presents itself even in a plausible aspect as yet; the Laws on this ground are directly inverse to our ordinary notions of natural procedure and to our acquired conception of simplicity and specific variation.
		Yet not in his elementary immanifest diffusion let us invoke the most Ancient Nature, but as he was discovered by the Hermetic masters; whole, and singularly, and before any alteration had been induced in his uniform substance by their art.
		An this Universal Subject is the alleged foundation of the whole Hermetic experiment; not only the thing transmutable in natures, as is above the thing transmutable in natures, as is above shown, but the thing transmuting also, when set free and segregated in its proper essentiality, the fermented Spirit assimilates the Light throughout.

	Hermetic Astrology: From the Renaissance to the Early Modern Era
		Consequently, Hermetic texts, including those on judicial astrology, Neo-Platonic ‘natural’ magic, alchemy, and Kabala were censored as they became coupled, not with a divine form of ancient wisdom, but with paganism, idolatry, and consorting with demons.
		One of the most dramatic consequences of the Hermetic revival was the extraordinary religious and political backlash engendered by the Protestant Rebellion, and the counter-reformation launched by the Catholic Church.
		Thus within the philosophical and Hermetic Corpus, all forms of astrology, including judicial astrology, (always ambiguous in the Aristotelian doctrine of the medieval Church), found solid theological and philosophical ground.

		Alchemy is the 'Hermetic Art', and an understanding of Hermetic theosophy will greatly clarify the alchemist's use of symbolism, his mystical aims and the sources of his imagery.
		Hermetic theosophy consists of Egyptian theology cast in the mould of Greek philosophy.
		Hermetic alchemists yearned to perceive and reveal the divine realm.

		Finally since the Renaissance philosophers and mages accepted the Corpus only because it was ancient and its antiquity has been, "debunked" as Yates puts it, it has been asserted that the whole Hermetic phenomenon was built on a lie.

	Lecture 1
		The goal of hermetic thinking and later alchemy is the concentration and redemption of this spirit, a focusing of it, a bringing of it together.
		Now, the other hermetic perception that is well illustrated by just thinking for a moment about mercury is the notion, and this is central to all hermetic thinking, of the microcosm and the macrocosm.
		What the Hermetic Corpus is is the most poetic and cleanly expressed outpouring of ancient knowledge that we possess.

	Corpus Hermeticum
		The Hermetic texts are often cited as examples of the extent of late Hellenistic syncretism, for they exhibit traits of magic, astrology, alchemy, Platonism and Stoicism, and the Mysteries, as well as Judaism and gnostic thought.
		Some Hermetic texts were tight in their focus, applying astrological theory to special circumstances: a Brontologion analyzed the significance of thunder as it was heard in various months, and a treatise Peri seismon related earthquakes to astrological signs.
		Byzantine editors and copyists, then, may have immortalized their prejudices by selecting and redacting our Corpus from a larger body of Hermetica that certainly gave much attention to the occultism that is so inconspicuous in the theoretical treatises, especially the first fourteen.

	Secret Fire: The Relationship Between Kundalini, Kabbalah, and Alchemy
		While alchemy, kabbalah, and astrology have been homogenized in modern esoteric practices to create an almost seamless synthesis, this is not true of earlier periods.
		In one respect, it could be said to be the original home of yoga, kabbalah, alchemy, and magic as we know them.
		The basis of kabbalah is that through increasing levels of density, humanity came into its present state of physical incarnation and psychic evolution.

	Background_Reading_and_Quiz
		In both art theory and alchemy, the Hermetic adept came to be seen as capable of perfecting, and even superseding, nature.
		In the seventeenth century, Hermetic ideas would contribute to the view that both art and the “new science” could “master” and command lifeless, malleable nature in the disciplined spaces of the laboratory and workshop.
		T or F? Marsilio Ficino finished his translation of the Hermetic corpus around 1460, before he completed his translation of the works of Plato.

	Hermetic Art Gallery Opening to the Grail
		The quintessence of fire (male) and the quintessence of water (female) brought together by art to create the Stone of the Wise, the Philosopher's Stone.
		In Genesis it says "the spirit of God (Shin 300) hovered upon the waters of the deep" -- the waters are the Hebrew letter Mem 40, "and God said, let there be light" -- 40 can be drawn as a cross within a circle, the symbol of Malkuth the kingdom.
		Above is the same symbol in reverse with the crucifixion upon the cross -- Christ had 5 wounds, the blood from these wounds was gathered in a grail - the triangle below, this is also the alchemic symbol of the Philosopher's Stone.

	Mary Anne Atwood: Hermetic Philosophy and Alchemy ~ Chapter 2
		The theory of Alchemy, though arcane, is very simple; its basis indeed may be comprehended in that only statement of Arnold di Villanova, in his Speculum, --- That there abides in nature a certain pure matter, which, being discovered and brought by art to perfection, converts to itself proportionally all imperfect bodies that it touches.
		Just so is the Vital Spirit said to be, by the art of Alchemy, promoted from one form of being into another by its won prepared must or leaven; and as such, in turn, it reacts convertively on the elements of its original extraction; having previously passed on, through many stages, from imperfection to perfection.
		This Proteus, then, or Mercury, or quintessence of philosophers, is warily concealed by them under an infinity of names, all more or less applicable, yet delusive; for though every epithet is admissible, inasmuch as nothing can be said amiss of a Universal Subjet, yet the right conception is hard to gather from their books.

		Hermetic Philosophy, Numerology, etc. was the invention of jews.
		Almost all of modern "occultism" owes its heritage in a large part to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, who really did little more than assemble many diverse traditions (Egyptian, Kabbalah, Tantra and Yoga, Gnostic and Hermetic, etc.) into one system of magic.

	Mythological Dictionary
		A number of works on occult matters, known as the Hermetic Corpus, were attributed to Hermes Trismegistus; today hermetic refers to occult knowledge, particularly alchemy, astrology, and magic.
		From this notion of secret or sealed knowledge hermetic comes to mean completely sealed; a hermetic jar is one closed against outside contamination.
		From Hermes' primary function as a bearer of messages came the Greek hermeneus ("interpreter") and the phrase hermeneutike techne ("the art of interpretation").
