What is Hermeticism?
Hermeticism is a religious, philosophical, and esoteric tradition based primarily upon writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus ("Thrice Great Hermes"). It emerged in Late Antiquity, in parallel with early Christianity, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, the Chaldaean Oracles, and late Orphic and Pythagorean literature. These writings have greatly influenced the Western esoteric and magical tradition, and were considered to be of great importance during the European Renaissance. Hermeticism claims descent from a "prisca theologia", a doctrine that affirms the existence of a single, true theology that is present in all religions and was given by God to man in primordial antiquity. Hermes Trismegistus is sometimes seen as a syncretism of the Greek god Hermes (Mercury) and the Egyptian god Thoth (Djehuty). He is also presented as a wise philosopher-sage and Egyptian priest.
