	Hermeticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hermeticism is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs based primarily upon the writings of Hermetism, attributed to Hermes Trismegistus.
		Hermeticism is a panentheist belief system which teaches that there is One God, or one "Cause", of which we are all a part.
		Hermeticism's spiritual practices were found very useful in magical work, especially in Theurgic (divine) practices as opposed to Goëtic (profane) practices, due to the religious context from which Hermeticism sprang forth.

		Hermeticism is an ancient philosopical tradition that emphasizes the importance of inner enlightenment or gnosis, rather than that of pure rationalism or doctrinal faith.
		Very briefly, Hermeticism - unlike the dualist sects like the Cathars, for example - is described in the Hermetic writings as a worldview of One Reality, where all dichotomies, all distinctions between body and soul, spirit and matter, etc., are integrated as a part of one whole.
		Hermeticism was extensively studied by the Arabs and, like many such philosophies, through them it eventually reached the west.

	Hermeticism
		Modern Hermeticism maintains this spiritual eclecticism, exploring and assimilating what is compatible and valuable from the Traditions with which it comes into contact, and sharing its own insights with other Traditions.
		The Hermeticism of the Hermetic Fellowship is also called the Western Esoteric Tradition, and embraces that essential outpouring of the Light known as the Philosophis Perennis, the Prisca Theologia, the Wisdom Tradition, and the Ageless Wisdom.
		The Hermeticism of the modern Fellowship is decidedly of the optimistic school.

	End of Europe's Middle Ages - Hermeticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hermeticism was the notion of God as a magician that developed as a result of the translation of texts in the late 1400's by Ficino in Florence.
		There were three major components to hermeticism that were especially important to scholars in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance: alchemy, numerology and the magic of letters (cryptography and ciphers).
		Despite this proof of the fraudulent nature of the texts, hermeticism continued to be very popular and influenced many of the great scientific minds of the Renaissance and early modern periods, among them Copernicus, Robert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton.

		there is a great deal of controversy over where the boundaries of Hermeticism truly lie, especially since it is so eclectic, drawing (some say borrowing or stealing) mystical teachings from a variety of cultures and time periods, at times fabricating entire mythologies about their origins or the purposes of techniques and practices which it incorporates.
		Hermeticism is too broad, eclectic and diffuse to truly specify its beginnings or endings.
		I presume that the stories told by religious and those involved in Hermeticism are quite often crafted to the predilections of the writer, sometimes blown out of proportion, sometimes crafted wholesale from imagination, sometimes twisted from its historical origin to something we may, today, not really recognize for its essence.

		It may be impossible to prove that Hermeticism was a necessary prerequisite, i.e., a cause of the emergence of the modern scientific outlook in the late 16th century.
		Hermeticism, a version of neo-Platonic philosophy and mysticism, emerged from the confluence of ancient and Hellenistic philosophy, Iranian mysticism, ancient Egyptian religion, Egyptian Gnosticism, Judaism and, possibly, early Christianity.
		Hermeticism lent itself to a view of humanity in nature that was more dynamic and in better accord with an age of discovery and innovation.

	Review Article by Wayne Teasdale
		To ignore or neglect Hermeticism is to impoverish Christian spirituality because it denies to the Church vital resources contained in Hermetic wisdom.
		Something as noble and profound as Hermeticism must be rescued from the clutches of a shadowy occultism, and given a recognized home in the Church.
		Hermeticism expresses this total or integrative approach by presenting the fruit of its labors: the synthesis of mysticism, gnosis and sacred magic.

	Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition by Glenn Magee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hegel was actively interested in Hermeticism, he was influenced by its exponents from boyhood on, and he allied himself with Hermetic movements and thinkers throughout his life.
		These scholars argue that Hermeticism has influenced such mainstream rationalist thinkers as Bacon, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, and Newton and has played a hitherto unappreciated role in the formation of the central ideas and ambitions of modern philosophy and science, particularly the modern project of the progressive scientific investigation and technological mastery of nature.
		Hermeticism is a middle position because it affirms both God’s transcendence of the world and his involvement in it.

	Pagan Regeneration: Chapter VIII: The New Birth Experience in Hermeticism
		Hermeticism itself was a syncretism quite typical of this general period, and doubly so because it represented an amalgamation of various philosophies with different religions.
		Hermeticism emphatically maintained that it was perfectly possible for man, even while residing in the human body, to become deified.
		Thus the rebirth of Hermeticism, important per se, is even more significant as an example of the type of mystical experience encouraged by the religio-philosophical movements of the Roman world.

	Ebla Forum: View topic - Hermeticism
		The significance of Hermeticism in the histories of science, natural philosophy and magic is becoming familiar, although its syncretism and incorporation of so many disparate philosophies, religions and traditions means that it remains difficult to determine the direction of influence.
		Thus it is that Hermeticism has traditionally been thought to represents the so-called perennial philosophy (a term first used by Liebniz and adopted by Huxley), passed down through the ages by word of mouth or in writings that require a lifetime of effort to understand fully.
		Examples of the application of Hermeticism are quite easy to find: in the Tarot, Masonic engraving and interpretations of tales such as the Golden Fleece.

		Linden explained that the journal's name is a Latin phrase, full of alchemical symbolism, that means "tail of the peacock." Alchemical writers used "tail of the peacock" to describe a variegated color of red, blue, and green that was a sign of one substance turning into another.
		"Hermeticism" is the name given to a group of magical practices that includes alchemy, astrology, sacred geometry, and numerology.
		Even after it was driven underground by the Inquisition and the Enlightenment, it persisted quietly, reappearing in Nazi Germany and then in the U.S. in the 1970s in the form of New Age thought.

	Alchemy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Western alchemy has always been closely connected with Hermeticism, a philosophical and spiritual system that traces its roots to Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic Egyptian-Greek deity and legendary alchemist.
		In Hermeticism it is linked with both astrology and theurgy.
		By the end of the Roman empire the Greek alchemical philosophy had been joined to the philosophies of the Egyptians to create the cult of Hermeticism.

		It thus serves to introduce the reader to Hermeticism -- to a new and Christian form of Hermeticism -- which represents a synthesis of the mystical, gnostic and magical modes of being and of the knowledge derived from these levels of being.
		When he wrote this work -- this "book of life" -- he anticipated that by the time of its publication he would no longer be a citizen on the earth, but would be sojourning in the spiritual realms.
		He has brought into being a new and Christian form of Hermeticism: the birth of Christian Hermeticism is accomplished through these Letters.

		The value of Hermeticism in the traditional view was not as a historical record, but as inspired Divine wisdom and a signpost on the mystic path to Divine union.
		The true flaw of the Hermeticism is its affirmation that gnosis and mystic union are actually possible.
		Not only that, but I am convinced that Hermeticism is a Practical Path to Gnosis.

		Sometimes Hermeticism is regarded as the oldest esoteric tradition descending from the earliest dynasties of Egypt, at other times originated in Alexandria, the Greek city in northern Egypt somewhere around the beginning of our counting of years.
		Like I said in the article about Alchemy it were the Muslims that has kept the Hermetic tradition alive absorbing it in their own esoterica.
		Alexandrian Hermeticists were probably often also alchemists or maybe you can say that Hermeticism was spiritual alchemy in contradition to the more practical forms of alchemy.

		The emphasis on the historical truth of Hermeticism, rather than its spiritual truth is but one trap.
		The attraction to endlessly "study" the area without actually engaging with the material or practicing the Hermetic arts is another.

		The bold, italicized sections show the roots of the strategies used by today's educational "change agents" (in schools, corporations, community groups and churches) to change beliefs and mold a new kind of person.
		In part, my argument for Hegel's Hermeticism depends on demonstrating that Hegel's interest coincide with the curious mixture interests typical of Hermeticists.
		Hermeticism holds that man can know God, and that man's knowledge of God is necessary for God's own completion.

	THOTH AND HERMETICISM IN CHRISTIANITY - Hermetics
		A good many of these were lost during the systematic destruction of non-Christian literature that took place between the fourth and sixth centuries A.D. Church Father Clement of Alexandria says that the books of Hermes treat of Egyptian religion; and Tertullian, Iamblichus, and Porphyry all seem to be acquainted with Hermetic literature.
		Hermeticism, as previously discussed, provides another dimension to our understanding of the rise (or, fall) of Christianity; like its counterpart, Gnosticism, Hermeticism reflects an advanced stage in late Hellenistic thought.
		But, like Gnosticism, Hermeticism was not to survive (except as a secret, underground movement); forces of ignorance, superstition and fanaticism would wreak havoc upon the sublime, Hellenistic vision, one which had helped carry the flame of Gnosis from ancient Egypt.

		Hermeticism developed during the first half of the twentieth century in Italy.
		Furthermore, Hermeticism also dealt with all the Florentine writers, amongst whom Carlo Bo (rector of my University in Urbino) of the literary reviews Frontespizio (Frontispiece) and Campo di Marte (Field of Mars) itself.
		The word Hermeticism dates back to Ermete Trismegisto and to an esoteric, philosophical and religious doctrine whose name was Hermeticism and which arose in the Hellenistic age.
