In this powerful episode of The Hidden Librarium, we descend into the myth, magic, and mystery of one of the most enigmatic figures in esoteric history—Hermes Trismegistus. Was he a god, a man, a prophet, or a construct of ancient imagination? Blending Egyptian Thoth and Greek Hermes, Hermes Trismegistus became the symbolic author of the Hermetica—a series of sacred texts that bridge the divine and human, the cosmos and the soul.
Drawing from Florian Ebeling’s The Secret History of Hermes Trismegistus, we trace the transmission of Hermetic wisdom from the temples of ancient Egypt to the intellectual salons of Renaissance Europe. We uncover how these teachings shaped not just mystical traditions, but also the roots of modern science, alchemy, astrology, and magic. This isn’t just the story of a forgotten god—it’s the hidden foundation beneath much of Western esotericism.
Through the lens of history, myth, and philosophy, we explore how Hermeticism served as a sacred blueprint for unlocking the mysteries of the universe and the divine potential within the self. From the Emerald Tablet’s cryptic call—“As above, so below”—to the secret doctrine that the human soul mirrors cosmic intelligence, this episode reveals why Hermeticism continues to influence modern occultism, psychology, and metaphysics.
Is Hermes a forgotten relic of ancient superstition—or the timeless messenger of divine truth? Join hosts Chris and Isabella as we peel back the centuries and walk the golden thread of wisdom from antiquity to the present. This is more than history—this is initiation.
