Instructor: Erik Arneson

“Hermetic” is a word that gets thrown around a lot in occultism and magic. But what does it actually mean? Where does Hermeticism come from? In this class, we will follow in the footsteps of Hermes Trismegistus. We will explore the origins of Hermetic philosophy, and follow its history from its roots in Ancient Egypt to its Renaissance revival to its modern occult confusion. Learn about the texts, personalities, mysteries, and misconceptions associated with this foundational path in Western esotericism, and come away with a new understanding and appreciation of its wisdom and meaning.
