Alchemy - Where to Begin - Introduction to the Summa Perfectionis (Sum of Perfection) Pseudo-Geber paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 2 years ago

Alchemy is one of the most difficult fields of study in Western Esotericism for a host of reasons: texts are often in ancient languages, practically encoded, full of arcane symbolism and obscure instructions. One of the most daunting tasks is even where to begin. There are thousands of alchemical texts spread over 1500 years - which is the best starting point if you want to study alchemy? In this episode of Esoterica, we argue that the Summa Perfectionis (c. 1310) is the best answer. We explore the question of the text's authorship, transmission, composition, alchemical theory of substance, change, and, of course, metallic transmutation.

The Emerald Tablet Of Hermes Trismegistus - EXPLAINED paccione .co.uk 3 Views • 2 years ago

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus is a profound artifact of wisdom, central to the Hermetic and Qabalistic teachings.

The teachings encoded within the Tablet are veiled in alchemical and astrological language, accessible only to those with the key to decipher its meanings.

One of the core teachings of the tablet lies in understanding the unity of the cosmos through the principle of "as above, so below," revealing the interconnectedness and mutual influence of the macrocosm and microcosm.

The Qabalistic symbolism within the Tablet explores the dynamics of creation, the essence of the divine mind, and the process of manifesting desires through the adaptation of the one mind.

The Emerald Tablet offers a guide to spiritual enlightenment and the realization of the profound unity of all existence, through a deep engagement with the mysteries of the universe as revealed through Qabalistic teachings.

Hermeticism and Ancient Astrology: The Corpus Hermeticum paccione .co.uk 7 Views • 2 years ago

A discussion about the ancient philosophy of Hermeticism and its relationship to Hellenistic astrology, with Sam Block and Chris Brennan.

Hermeticism is a religious, philosophical, and mystical movement that arose in Hellenistic Egypt around the first century, and is attributed to the teachings and practices of Hermes Trismegistus.

It represents a popular synthesis of a number of philosophical and religious trends that were popular during the Hellenistic period, including Stoicism, Platonism, native Egyptian religion, and astrology.

The majority of what is known about this philosophical or religious school survives in the Corpus Hermeticum and a handful of other writings from that time period.

During the course of the episode we talk about what is known about the Hermetic philosophical tradition, and how it relates to the technical tradition of astrology that arose during the same time period.

Sam is the author of a series on Hermeticism on his website, which I would recommend checking out for more information on this topic:

The Kybalion - The Principle of Gender - Hermetic teachings, Gnostic wisdom, occult knowledge paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 2 years ago

THE GNOSTIC TAROT is now available! An incredible journey of artistic chaos and keen design tools that has brought about a unique and fitting honoring of the Gnostic saga. We are taking a DIY approach through a small printing platform until time to expand to other venues. Basic or Deluxe versions available. https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/synkrasis
AND.... if you enjoy the art of the Gnostic Major Arcana, they are available to wear! Check out https://teepublic.sjv.io/75VLKY The Kybalion - The Principle of Gender Hermetic teachings, Gnostic wisdom, occult knowledge "Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes. This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything--the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work. This is true not only of the Physical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes. On the Physical Plane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, but the Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possible without this Principle. An understanding of its laws will throw light on many a subject that has perplexed the minds of men. The Principle of Gender works ever in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. Everything, and every person, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, him or her. Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains also the Male Principle. If you would understand the philosophy of Mental and Spiritual Creation, Generation, and Re-generation, you must understand and study this Hermetic Principle. It contains the solution of many mysteries of Life. We caution you that this Principle has no reference to the many base, pernicious and degrading lustful theories, teachings and practices, which are taught under fanciful titles, and which are a prostitution of the great natural principle of Gender. Such base revivals of the ancient infamous forms of Phallicism tend to ruin mind, body and soul, and the Hermetic Philosophy has ever sounded the warning note against these degraded teachings which tend toward lust, licentiousness, and perversion of Nature's principles. If you seek such teachings, you must go elsewhere for them--Hermeticism contains nothing for you along these lines. To the pure, all things are pure; to the base, all things are base.

The Divine Pymander Of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus - Full Audiobook - Definitive Reference w/ Text paccione .co.uk 2 Views • 2 years ago

The Divine Pymander Of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus - Full Audiobook - Definitive Reference w/ Text and Chapter bookmarks. Hermetica is a category of literature dating from Late Antiquity that purports to contain secret wisdom, generally attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, "thrice-great Hermes", who is a syncretism of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian deity Thoth. A collection of several such Greek texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries, remnants of a more extensive previous literature, were compiled into a Corpus Hermeticum by Italian scholars during the Renaissance, notably by Marsilio Ficino, whose Latin translation went through eight incunable editions before 1500, and a further twenty-two by 1641. John Everard's historically important 1650 translation into English of the Corpus Hermeticum, entitled The Divine Pymander. Get the book at https://amzn.to/2YwYpr5

The Kybalion - The Principle of Cause and Effect - Hermetic teachings, Gnostic, occult knowledge paccione .co.uk 3 Views • 2 years ago

THE GNOSTIC TAROT is now available! An incredible journey of artistic chaos and keen design tools that has brought about a unique and fitting honoring of the Gnostic saga. We are taking a DIY approach through a small printing platform until time to expand to other venues. Basic or Deluxe versions available. https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/synkrasis
AND.... if you enjoy the art of the Gnostic Major Arcana, they are available to wear! Check out https://teepublic.sjv.io/75VLKY The Principle of Cause and Effect Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."--The Kybalion. This Principle embodies the fact that there is a Cause for every Effect; an Effect from every Cause. It explains that: "Everything Happens according to Law"; that nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as Chance; that while there are various planes of Cause and Effect, the higher dominating the lower planes, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law. The Hermetists understand the art and methods of rising above the ordinary plane of Cause and Effect, to a certain degree, and by mentally rising to a higher plane they become Causers instead of Effects. The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life. But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers instead of pawns. They help to PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE, instead of being played and moved about by other wills and environment. They USE the Principle instead of being its tools. The Masters obey the Causation of the higher planes, but they help to RULE on their own plane. In this statement there is condensed a wealth of Hermetic knowledge--let him read who can.
