The Hermetic Code
THE SEVEN LAWS THAT GOVERN EVERYTHING
Hermeticism is not a religion, and it is not a belief system. It is a map. It may be the most detailed map of reality the ancient world produced. It passed from Egypt through Greece and Rome into the Renaissance, hiding inside alchemy, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and the notebooks of the scientists who built the modern world. The seven Hermetic principles are Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. The tradition treats them not as metaphors but as laws: as exact and as universal as gravity, working at every level, from the motion of galaxies to a single thought drifting across your mind. Over 14 lessons you will meet Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice-great, master of three worlds. You will follow his teachings from the Corpus Hermeticum through the Emerald Tablet, through the alchemy labs of medieval Europe, through the Hermetic Qabalah of the Golden Dawn, and into a daily practice of mental alchemy: a trained mind's ability to turn any state of consciousness into its opposite. By the end you will not just understand the seven principles. You will start to see them at work in everything: your relationships, your emotions, your money, the news, your own habits of thought. Once you can see the machine, you can operate the machine. That is the Hermetic promise.
