THE STORY:

The Hermetica is a collection of ancient texts attributed to the ‘Thrice Great’ HERMES TRISMIGISTUS (a syncretic morphing of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, with attributes aligning with Mercury). Believed to have been included in the ancient Library of Alexandria, and gaining prominence in the renaissance period, this is a foundational text to all western philosophy, science, art and religion, and we can also observe its correspondences to eastern teachings. Largely, these texts pertain to many worldly understandings of medicine, pharmacology, magic and alchemy. This ancient knowledge is at the roots of all that we study in this modern age. The most famous of these texts, THE EMERALD TABLET, is widely regarded as the foundation of the art of alchemy.

Alchemic understandings share many commonalities with the pertinent teachings of Lao Tzu and the philosophy of Taoism. Namely, the concept of a universal oneness, masculine and feminine energies, the existence of body, mind and soul and the relationship of the above and below. Essentially, the way consciousness relates to matter.

This is the basis from which we have formed the philosophy behind Nü Hermetica.
