    yes hermes, the ceremonial magick orders styled after the hermetic path, is mercury, magick sphere/planet
    mercury is swiftness, air, thought, steam, sex, love, trickery, changeable
    the middle pillar combining both sides of the brain
    both sexes male and female or sun and moon
    god/higher self and man/animal lower self/subconcious
    shamanistic mystic trance and specific scientific ordered operations of ritual and logic
    the art of magick temperance combining the shiva shakti fire and water

    Thank you brifae. I thought he was, along with Thoth, but was recently told Mercury is not associated with Hermes Trismegistus and thought maybe I was mistaken in making the connections.

    Some Historians identify Hermes Trismegistus with Enoch. It was he who did not experience the mortal death according to Genesis 5:22 -29.

    According to Ancient Sages who studied Jewish Legends and Mysticism, Enoch is taken up to Heaven because He was appointed by God to be the guardian of all the celestial treasures, chief of the malakhim (angels) and general messenger of the God of Hebrews. While some says, he was taken up to Heaven because God ordered him to write all the secrets and mysteries of Torah (The Book of Law). And according to them, He is the author of the pseudepigraphical text called Book of Enoch.

    Because of his transcendent wisdom, Enoch is said to be the same as the Egyptian Thoth who said to be the founder of all the Egyptian wisdom teaching hieroglyphic writing, art, arithmancy, cosmology, Earth lore, and other mystical sciences. They said he is also the Greek Hermes who created the Hermeticus Corpus. The Hebrews later referred to this wisdom as Kabbalah.

    Well it is up to you if you will believe that these three mystical authors and prophets are the same but for me, I am still skeptical about them.

    So I may be off base here, and apologize if I am...Isn't the Kybalion part of the Hermes Trismegistus?

    I have read the Kybalion and especially enjoy the "as above so below" concept. I find it especially interesting how that concept has permeated modern thought, as well as many older schools of thought. As a master of our lodge, it is one of the first "learnings" I recommend to our entered Apprentices. I enjoy it because it helps expand the mind of the apprentice without "stomping" on any of their personal beliefs etc.

    BTW if Kybalion wasn't part of this, sorry for the rant, maybe I should start a new thread LOL.

    Evan.
