"The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open." - The Kybalion
The Infinite mind of the ALL is the womb of the universe."
Hermeticism is an ancient spiritual, philosophical, and magical tradition, which focuses on spiritual growth. Hermeticism takes its name from the God Hermês Trismegistos (Greek, "Thrice-Greatest Hermes"), a Græco-Egyptian form of the great Egyptian God of Wisdom and Magic, Thôth. What the Hermetic Fellowship defines as Hermeticism has also been called the Western Esoteric Tradition, and embraces the Perennial Philosophy or the Ageless Wisdom. Generally, the following can be said to be characteristic of the positive form of Hermeticism advocated by the Hermetic Fellowship.
Hermeticism:
*Considers humanity to be on a spiritual journey to return to a state of unity with the Divine; this is the Great Work of humankind.
*Holds that if we would attain to the Divine, we must aspire to the Divine; spiritual growth cannot be achieved without human effort
*Is eclectic and draws material from sources spanning the entire Western Esoteric Tradition
*Is polytheistic, yet ultimately monotheisitic (i.e., posits a multiplicity of Manifestations of the Divine Which emanate from an ultimate Divine Unity)
*Holds that the Divine is both immanent and transcendent
*Holds that the Universe is Divine and basically good
*Teaches that when we seek the Divine, we may best begin with the Mysteries of Nature
*Encourages spiritual curiosity
*Understands that human beings can access the Subtle Realms through technique and aspiration; to this end, it embraces theurgy, meditation, ritual, and other spiritual and magical practices
*Urges those who seek the Divine to also seek balance in embracing all things
* Is a poetic rather than an ascetic worldview
Hermeticism (Western Hermetic Tradition) is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs based primarily upon the pseudepigraphical writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. These beliefs have heavily influenced the Western esoteric tradition and were considered greatly important during both the Renaissance and the Reformation.
The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows:
1. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.
2. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
3. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
4. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
5. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.
6. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
7. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.
