{"product_id":"the-hermetica-the-lost-wisdom-of-the-pharaohs","title":"The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohs","description":"The first easily accessible translation of the esoteric writings that inspired some of the world's greatest artists, scientists, and philosophers.\n\nHere is an essential digest of the Greco-Egyptian writings attributed to the legendary sage-god Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for thrice-greatest Hermes), a combination of the Egyptian Thoth and the Greek Hermes.\n\nThe figure of Hermes was venerated as a great and mythical teacher in the ancient world and was rediscovered by the finest minds of the Renaissance. The writings attributed to his hand are a time capsule of Egyptian and Greek esoteric philosophy and have influenced figures including Blake, Newton, Milton, Shelley, Shakespeare, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jung.\n\nProviding a fascinating introduction to the intersection of the Egyptian and Hellenic cultures and the magico-religious ideas of the antique world, The Hermetica is a marvelous volume for anyone interested in understanding the West's roots in mystical thought.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 158542692X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.158542692X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Freke, Timothy|Gandy, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
