Astral & Justin: Hermeticism

Episode 56 features a conversation with my husband Justin and myself. This is part one of two on the topics of Hermeticism and The Kybalion, a book based around the Hermetic Principles. We start with the history of where this wisdom springs from including who Hermes Trismegistus was and some of the myths around Thoth and Hermes. We explore Marsilio Ficino’s life and works, and the role he played in keeping the flame of this ancient wisdom alive. We talk about the Cult of Serapis and some similarities it has to Jesus’s death and resurrection. We also discuss why we feel this information has been hidden from the masses. Towards the end, we touch on the philosophical and the technical components within Hermetics.
