Episode 4: Ancient Egyptian Influences on the Hermetica

  • Summary

  • Welcome to another episode of 'Hermetic Dialogues'. This time, we're diving into a topic that's sure to captivate anyone interested in ancient wisdom and its modern implications: the Egyptian influences on the Hermetica.

    The Hermetica is a collection of Greek texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. These texts have long been studied for their profound philosophical and religious insights. But what's interesting is how recent scholarship has shed new light on their origins.

    For years, scholars primarily viewed these texts through the lens of Greek philosophy and early Christian thought. But now, we're seeing a shift in understanding.

    Recent studies have revealed that many of the concepts found within the Hermetica have deep roots in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. It's fascinating to see how these ancient Egyptian ideas have influenced such an important collection of texts.
