Double tap to edit — Hermeticism — Ancient Greece is where the Emerald Tablet makes its first appearance. According to the ancient Greeks, the Emerald Tablet is said to be written by Hermes Tresmegistus who’s a combination of the Greek God Hermes and the Egyptian God Thoth, or a reincarnation of Thoth himself. Hermes Tresmegistus is the author of a group of texts called “The Hermetica” and from these we get “Hermeticism” a set of spiritual concepts and practices catalyze by a belief in the unity of all things in the Universe. Hermeticism has influenced secret societies like the Freemasons and the Rosicrucians. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is a secret society that emerged in the late 19th Century, they used Hermetic principles in their ceremonies which was said to be magic, the order also joined other esoteric traditions including the Kabbalah and the Tarot. Gnostics actually called themselves Hermetics. Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Freemasonry will always lead back to Thoth, the Atlantean Priest, son of Prince EA also known as Enki, the original founder of Atlantis.
