Hermes Livres

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes first appeared in the Alchemical Libraries of Europe during the 12th Century. Traveling home with the Crusaders, this seminal work is alleged to be written by Hermes Trismegistus-Thoth. The work deeply influenced Western Magick, and the tenets presented influence modern magick to this day. The Kybalion was first published by The Yogi Publication Society of the Masonic Temple in Chicago in 1912. The authors of The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous, because the principles and philosophy are a summation of theTimeless Wisdom and Truth of the Hemetic Philosophy.

"The Virgin of the World" is a vital Hermetic dialogue between the goddess Isis and her son Horus, revealing the origins of Egyptian gods and their role in civilization. Preserved in a 5th-century anthology, it showcases Egypt as a paradise and is considered the earliest Hermetic text, dating back nearly 2,500 years.

Rooted in 2nd century Egyptian-Greek thought, this collection of texts serves as the foundation for Hermeticism, intertwining religion, philosophy, and esoteric knowledge. It explores profound themes such as the divine, the cosmos, and the mind, while also delving into the practices of alchemy and astrology, alongside insights into nature. This work offers a rich tapestry of ideas that have influenced various spiritual and philosophical traditions throughout history.

A collection of Greek writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistos, dating from some time before the close of the second century AD, Corpus Hermeticum forms the core of the Hermetic tradition, and was one of the main influences on and motivational factors for the Renaissance. This OMTO edition is based upon the classic translation by GRS Mead, lightly updated into more contemporary English to make the writings more accessible, however, with every effort made to leave Mead's masterful grammatical style intact. This is one of the world's greatest religio-philosophical and spiritual texts. It speaks directly to the human spirit and is the antithesis of an exoteric work, but rather one that aims to promote personal Gnosis. For these reasons, this edition resists the temptation to impose further interpretation or commentary upon the reader.
