The Corpus Hermeticum, Initiation Into Hermetics

The Corpus Hermeticum are at the core of the Hermetic tradition. Early Church officials believed this was an early precursor to Christianity. Today we know it emerged from Hellenic Egypt. In the text, the Thrice Great Hermes, Hermes Trismegistus, engages in an educational and easy to follow discussion with the great healer of ancient Greece; Aesclepius, answering the eternal questions as to the nature of the Logos.
