Hermes Trismegistus

Hermes Trismegistus is a legendary figure associated with various fields like alchemy, astrology, and philosophy, including a role as a "doctor" of esoteric knowledge, but he is not a medical doctor in the modern sense. The association with medicine stems from the Egyptian god Thoth, who was considered a god of knowledge and magic, and his symbol, the caduceus, is sometimes incorrectly used as a symbol for medicine.

Hermeticism is a philosophical and religious tradition rooted in the teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, a legendary figure believed to be a synthesis of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. It encompasses a range of ideas about the nature of the universe, the divine, and the human soul, often intertwined with magical practices. Hermeticism emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and the potential for human enlightenment and transformation through knowledge and spiritual practices.
