Hermes Trismegistus may be associated with the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Consequently, the two gods were worshiped as one, in what had once been the Temple of Thoth.
Hermes, the Greek god was combined with Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom, to become the patron of astrology and alchemy. In addition, both gods were guiding souls to the afterlife.
The Hermetic teachings are found in all lands and all religions, their appeal is universal. In early days there was a compilation of certain basic hermetic maxims, axioms, and precepts, which were passed from teacher to student, which is called the “Kybalion”.
The Hermetic literature among the Egyptians, was the oldest Hellenistic writings on Greco-Babylonian astrology and on the developed practice of alchemy.
In tradition, Hermetic philosophy rationalized and systematized religious practices and explained personal ascension of the physical being.
As a divine source of wisdom, Hermes Trismegistus was credited with tens of thousands of highly esteemed writings, which were reputed to be of immense antiquity.
