Systems of Science, Magic & Philosophy from Ancient Egypt
Hermetic Science has its origins in the great Temple wisdom of Ancient Egypt. It’s source Hermes, or Thoth in Greek and Egyptian tradition respectively, is a great teacher of humanity, and this knowledge has been passed on through various means, partially through the Hermetic Arcana, a work originally found in Greek and translated by Ficino during the Renaissance, causing a great influence in the western world.
These teachings trace back to Egypt and along with other elements of this great wisdom passed more directly through Initiates into the Egyptian temple like Pythagoras, Solon (Socrates’ teacher) and many more, filtered through many channels to become the basis of Western Philosophy, Science and the foundation of the Esoteric tradition. Subjects which fall under the banner of Hermetic Science would be: Alchemy, Magick, Prophecy, Sacred Geometry, Vibrational Radiesthesia, Energy Systems, Initiation into the Mysteries, and much more. Primary proponents deeply influenced by the Hermetics are: Pythagoras, Plato, Bruno, Newton, Louie XIV - The Sun King, Copernicus, Kepler
