The Wisdom of Thoth- Hermes- Mercury in the Primordial Tradition of Hermeticism

The Wisdom of Thoth-Hermes-Mercury in Hermeticism Víctor. A. Cabello. Reyes.C.R.+🌹 ''Hermes, Lord of the World, the one who lives in the hearts, orbit of the Moon, circle and square, inventor of the Words of the tongue, obedient to righteousness, bearer of the chlamid, footwear with wings, the one who rules the tongue possessing all the volumes, prophet of mortals ... '' (Papyrus XVIIb (Strasburg), 1179, Iss. Preisendanz: Papyri Graecae Magicae, VOL. II, p.139) In Ancient Manuscripts of operational Freemasonry the name appears Hermes '' The Three Times Big '', as the true founder of Freemasonry. Hermes (lat. Mercurius), is part of the Golden Thread and Upper Ancestral Transmission Chain. The one consecrated in the fragrant and aromatic depository temples of the Perennial Tradition and Prisca Sapientia. This complex system of Theurgy of Thoth is credited with the secret knowledge and set of wisdom -Hermetic Tradition-, which goes back to a 'Pre-Pharaonic' past. That Ancestral Knowledge starts from an entire iconographic corpus that the Masonic orders merge into ritual practices and the transmission-preservation of their documentary and liturgical legacy. His name-Hermes- appears several times in the manuscript Ms. Cooke. A.G. Mackey said: '' This Hermes Trismegistos, ... was declared by the alchemists as the founder of their art, from where Hermetic science comes, and from where we take it for Freemasonry, Hermetic Rites and Hermetic Degrees (Albert Gallatin Mackey. Volume III, p. 710-711). Hermes is considered the repository of the tradition of that body of doctrines as Herald of the gods or messenger. In alchemy it is associated with the 'Wet-mercurial' principle and with the entire process of beginning and final elaboration of the GOLDEN Stone. Originally this knowledge was strictly transmitted orally and is consecrated among the Mysteries. Hermes is a mystagogue and a psychopomp of the Magnum Opus. Hermeneutics derives from its name as a science of text research. For the Greeks, he was the god of travelers, inventor of the Lyre and the Alphabet. It is identified with the Roman Mercury. Son of Zeus and Maia (Maya), daughter of Atlas. His attributes were the winged helmet, winged sandals, and serpentine rod or caduceus. Trimegisto = '' Three Times Big ''. Mythical creator of civilization, responsible for the medicine of Real Art. Under his Templar tutelage is alchemy, geography, mathematics, magic = high theurgy, music, astrology and other knowledge. Thoth is the source of the powerful lineage of ancient knowledge. It is the Divine Messenger-Thoth-original. '' Thoth, for instance, was the god of the moon, but his cosmic traits were relatively unimportant. First, and foremost, Thoth was the god of writing and reckoning, the patron of scribes and (basically the same thing) officials '' (Jan Assmann, The Search for God in Ancient Egypt, Cornell, 2001, p.80). Thoth is the master of the spell and the holy Protective Word ( Jan Assmann, p.154). Thoth was the bearer of Powerful Secrets. Therefore, today the hermetic term is likely to be associated with the esoteric "hidden" and wisdom. Djehuti, was one of its names in ancient Egyptian. He spoke the words ordered by his Father Rá in the creation of the world. Inventor of writing, music, astronomy and the Father of alchemy. In the rich tradition of the Arab Hermes, it is associated with the antediluvian saga of Idris-Enoch. '' The identification of Hermes and Enoch gave the Egyptian Hermes the biblical genealogy that appears in other versions of the Arabic Hermes legend and accommodated him to the biblical tradition of ancient chronography '' (Kevin Van Bladel, The Arabic Hermes, Oxford, 2009, p.155). Let us remember and it is important to point out the existence of Three Hermes-Hermeses-, according to the educated and strict Arab tradition- Trismegistos = al-mutallat bi-l-hikma = tripled in wisdom-; that follow the primordial tradition or Perennial Philosophy and the valuable book of Sothis (Van Bladel, p.p.121-123). Rá distinguishes him by naming him his secretary and assistant and gave him the moon to balance his own Sun. It is the entire process of solarization of the Sacred or Hermetic Way. Since the alchemical way is the spiritual way or the Thoth-Hermes Way. That same complex alchemical mercury pathway receives-produces the "astral-solar liquid" that retains the potential of the "Golden Fleece"; '' This, says Fictuld, is the tale of a 'hermetic alphabet'. The Fleece represents the liquid, astral gold, extracted from the nature of higher realities and from the elements; as a soul and seed, as a SOLAR SUBSTANCE flowing out of God's bounty, it gives life to things, sustain them, and is able to penetrate the most dense and and solid bodies '' (Antoine Faivre, The Golden Fleece and Alchemy, New York, 1993, p. 41). The oldest reference-prisci theologi-, of that spiritual solarization is found in the Pyramid Texts. '' The importance of the solar temples on the west bank of the Nile, the custom of building pyramids, personal names, (Serge Sauneron, The Priest of Ancient Egypt, Cornell University, 2000, p.173). Rá's firstborn, assistant and secretary. Protector of the Egyptian scribes. As the lunar god of Hermopolis he is his faithful Regent. The Ancient Solar Tradition is the unique Regio-Ars Regia-Sacred Science and Primordial Tradition Art that has been transmitted as Wisdom-based and, at the same time, practical and operative, as a transforming force of being. From the ONE to the multiple and from the multiple in the One! Omnia Ab Uno, Omnia in Uno, Omnia per Uno. Thoth-Hermes-Mercury illustrates the reconquest and reception of Celestial Solar Effluvia as an Emanation of powerful and salutary Solar Effluvia. It was known by the name of Djehuti, Sehuti= (Tahuti, Zahiuti or Dhuit). Patron of the exercise of knowledge, inventor of the sciences and the arts of the word Bird-headed Ibis man, sometimes crowned by the crescent. Baboon, thoughtful Cynocephalus according to Hermopolis theology. Thoth created the Universe by his sacred Word and voice. Inventor of hieroglyphs ('' Lord of Divine Words '') As a moon god, he was the creator and regulator of the laws of cosmic harmony. It delimits the seasons and regulated the time. Rá will take care of "conferring names". In Osiris' sky, he sometimes appears as Isis's brother. In charge of all calculations and checks, archivist and bookseller of the gods. It was its historian. Thoth-Hermes institutes ceremonies, explains how to observe the stars, father of oratory, medicine- Caduceus and Mercurial Rod-, Art of Metallurgy and Geometric and Arithmetic Sciences. Universal Tradition of Art and Hermetic Sign according to the wise M. Berthelot in his masterful and erudite work: (Les Origines de L '' Alchimie, Paris, 1885, pp 28, 31, 39-41). The Egyptian magicians theorists call him "Semsu" (The Ancient), since through their occult and esoteric knowledge (from the Greek esoterikós = "" interior "") = "" hen kai pan = One and All; the father of the total intuitive interpretation of hieroglyphs or hieratic writing. '"All the philosophers who were initiated into Hermetic wisdom in Egypt distinguished themselves through a Hermetic epistemology that penetrated the surface so as to perceive the essence of effects, the idea behind appearances: ..." (Florian Ebeling, The Secret History of Hermes Trismegistus, Cornell University Press, 2007. p.74). Contribute to the resurrection of Osiris with magical-theurgical-alchemical formulas. Help Isis defend the orphan Horus and heal from the sting of the deadly poison of the heavenly and earthly astrological scorpion deposited in the wisdom of the "horologoi = (priests of the hour) and the "Horoskopoi "of the so-called priests of the horoscope (Sauneron, 153). He was the Just referee and judge, between the conflict between Set and Horus, after having healed both. His knowledge comes from the Source of All and First Emanation. Omnia Arcanis Connexa = '' All things rest connected to Arcane Knots. " He is credited with the Emerald Tablet (stone in green and emerald crystals), a green rectangular plate with low relief, written in an ancient language, possibly the" ancient Samaritan or Phoenician. Thoth according to some researchers was the creator of the "Sefer Omerim". The word '' Omer '' in Samaritan means '' speak '' or '' Word ''. The '' logos '' as ritual and Sacred Language (Brian P. Copenhaver: Hermetica, Cambridge, 1992, pp 93, 104-105). The city of Alexandria founded by Alexander the Great (332 BC) was from the 2nd century onwards the place where the knowledge of Greek Hellenic culture and the spiritual culture depositary of the Tradition of the Nous Demiurge and Psicopompo and connoisseur of plants merge and integrate , minerals and the learning of humanity. (Dr. Bruno Stricker, The Enemies of Re: I and II, The Textual Tradition, Discussions in Egyptology, Oxford, 1992-94 pp. 45-74 and 95-120). In the East, Hermes's books were jealously guarded in Byzantium, India, and especially by Arabic literature. Greek and Coptic papyri preserved the hermetic tradition that was uniformly passed down through the centuries (Roelof van den Broek and Wouter J. Hanegraaff: Gnosis and Hermeticism, New York, 1998, pp 1-19). It was that same hermetic tradition that the Italian Renaissance would convert into its "sacred book", with Neopagan formulas with a high Gnostic content, based on Alexandrian texts. Already the wise Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola argued: "A great miracle, O Asclepius, is man" = Magnum, O Asclepi, Miraculum est Homo. Texts that outline a Greek-Egyptian sacred doctrine, priestly doctrine of Hermopolis, Sais, Memphis and Thebes. Ancient Egyptian astrological, magical-alchemical writings preserved and translated in the Latin Eastern Middle Ages and with great care and dedication during the Renaissance. Let us remember with admiration the unusual interest that the fine and educated Cosimo commands Ficino: '' Mihi Mercurium cousin Termaximun, mox Platonem mandavit interpretandum. " It was extremely urgent for Cosimo - at his age since he died in 1464 - to be able to read the privileged translation of the Corpus entrusted to Marsilio Ficino. The master Ficino (1433-1499) translated in 1463, by direct orders of Cósimo de Médici, fourteen Gnostic-Neoplatonic treatises known by the name of: Corpus Hermeticum. Marsilio Ficino, was the main representative of the Platonic Academy of Florence. The '' Corpus '' is that body of ideas of Egyptian origin (attributed to Thoth), in which, Neoplatonic, Zoroastrian, Gnostic and Judaic ideas and ideas of a priestly doctrine of solar scribes are mixed and transferred. '' Thoth is the scribe of RE, and when Osiris, the great type of the Dead, comes to be identified with RE, Thoth becomes the secretary of Osiris 📷📷(= the Dead) " (Patrick Boylan, Thoth The Hermes of Egypt, Oxford , 1922, pp 15, 21-56). It is in Corpus where the ideas of the circulation of solar energy in the Whole and the ancient iconography of wisdom embodied in the Word and in Ouroboros are exchanged. Thoth is the god considered as: "He Who Knows." Ibis and Bird-headed Man Sacred Ibis, write from '' The Divine Words ''. Theurgical verbalization is essential in the direct transmission of knowledge emanating from the lips of RA. '' Thoth is often considered the son of RA, having issued '' from the lips of Ra ''. (Lesley Jackson, Thoth: The History of The Ancient Egyptian God Of Wisdom, England, 2011. p.p.153-4). The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of seventeen Greek treatises, preserved in manuscripts, the translations of which do not date beyond the fourteenth century. Fourteen of them were translated by Marsilio Ficino. The Master Ficino opined: "Here we have one of" The Ancient Theologies "(Prisca Theologia) originally taken from Mercury and culminated in the Divine Plato." For the Master of La Flor Marsilio Ficino, that Primordial tradition of Prisca Theologia, is an authentic and unique source to achieve the illumination that flows and emanates from La Dina Mens, and directs us on the right path-Prisci magi-, towards Platonism derived from the wisdom of the Egyptian Thoth-Hermes or, the famous Hermetic Chain = 'Hermaic Chain'. (Garth Fowden, The Egyptian Hermes, Cambridge, 1986). Fundamental, erudite and complete work. Recommended for study and real sources). Marsilio Ficino affirmed and maintained the opinion that Plato and his Philosophy had its origin in the wisdom of Mercury, and its doctrines were similar in content, to those of Orpheus and in a certain way, to Pythagoras. It is the Golden Chain and the primary source of Philosophia perennis. God = One = Everything. It is the Genealogy of the Chain. Marsilio Ficino translates a Byzantine anthology of ancient manuscripts. Some of them such as the Poimandrés or the Crátera are already mentioned previously by the alchemist Pseudo-Zósimo of Panópolis. Throughout the Middle Ages with the exception of Poimandrés, valuable Corpus information was unknown. We know of the existence of the Picatrix (near Arabic text or written in the 10th century, as a text of astral sympathetic magic, with special reference to Talismans). From that Tradition with explanations of the alchemical path Hermes is the guide (Marcelin Berthelot, Introduction A L'Etude De La Chimie des Anciens et Du Moyen Age, Paris, 1889, pp 234-235, 236, 244). From the Byzantine collection (Kore-Kosmou), five hundred of these treatises were collected and grouped by the wise Stobee. Here we can verify the reception and transmission of a spiritual legacy from Hermes to Asclepius, the transmission of learning from Hermes to Amun, and the treatise of Isis to Horus. The Latin Asclepius is also merged, containing fragments of Greek from the famous: '' Perfect Discourse '' - only fragments -. They are two texts preserved and admired since the 4th century. Asclepius = Aesculapius (Greek founder of Medicine). The beloved son of Apollo Solar. Educated by Chiron-Sage Centaur. Apollo grants him the Gift of healing and serpentine power. Or the medicinal rod of two Serpents. Apollo sends him to heaven among the stars and from there-correspondence-medium-astrological-, works in Temples and places of healing through the appropriate theurgical incantation and alchemical-personal purity. It is the Latin name by which the alchemist doctor Imhotep is known. The Corpus Hermeticum is the Pinnacle of all Hermetic literature. Hermes is: megistou kai megistou theou Hermou '' according to Brian. P. Copenhaver whose historical genealogy comes from Thoth; '' The first was Thoth, who originally carved the sacred writings on stelae in hieroglyphics '' (Brian P. Copenhaver, Hermetica, Cambridge, 1992, p. Xvi. Introduction). Formica Meterno is proud to have transcribed: ''All that Hermes Anubis revealed to Asclepius.'' Hermetic literature, both in its ornate form and in its myths and spiritual content, is considered fundamentally and essentially Egyptian in its origins (Garth Fowden, pp 22-30 and 164, 170, 196). Thoth-Hermes-Mercury is a way of life since the ultimate revelation of divine wisdom in the hermetic tradition is only possible through personal relationship; Teacher-apprentice (Fowden, 158). The true metamorphosis of man is deposited in his regeneration. The Great Work, the Philosopher's Stone, the Magnum Opus, and the alchemical magisterium reside in Thoth-Hermes-Mercury. ''Said: ? ''But, who are you? '' - '' I replied, I am Poimandres, the Spirit of Omnipotence. I know what you sigh for and I'm with you everywhere '' (Poimandres) For Plutarch: "... it is believed that Hermes was the first to know the characters of the gods." It is Hermes himself who illustrates and educates Kamephis on the secrets of Sacred Art. Astrology and alchemy receive the Seal of Hermes (Sigilum Hermetis) as the source of their inspiration and ancestral knowledge. Wisdom that led the illustrious sage Terence Duquesne to affirm that the power of the serpentine Ureus of Thoth-Hermes-Mercury has enormous parallels - evident - with the Awakening of Tantra in India. (Terence Du Quesne, Raising The Serpent Power some parallels between Egyptian religion and Indian Tantra, Hermes Aegytiacus, Oxford, 1995; pp 53-68). The Book of Thoth - currently lost - contained the secrets of Alchemy. High theurgy and astrological writings placed under the direct dedication of Thoth-Hermes-Mercury and his heirs, who have come to us in greater numbers. "Thoth is the first Hermes who had lived before the Flood." Four fundamental symbols summarize philosophy. The Seal of Solomon, the serpent that bites its tail and Uroboros, the Caduceus of Hermes-Mercury and the Philosophical Egg. The same angelic sage and Divine Kabbalist Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, looking at her in the Magisterial and only work; Prayer About the Dignity of Man, manages to summarize-great- part of the postulates of the Primordial Tradition and Original Prisca Theologia. "Therefore I am not content with having added to the common teachings many things of the Ancient Theology of Mercury Trismegistus ... '' (Master of the Flower Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola) Both the Poimandres and the Crater are cited widely directly or indirectly by the sages of the past. it is in the Corpus where initially resurfaces the name of the 'Trismegistos'' - Hermes. In Poimandres, the enormous Egyptian influence shown-evidently when mentioned solar ray hands as terminated hands= Tradition Masonic Operational Ancestral -Spiritual-ArchItectonic-Egyptian and Floral. Wisdom of the Sacred Bird the Sacred Thoth-Ibis We can affirm, that the enormous influence of Thoth-Hermes-Mercury in the Mysteries of Osiris in Egypt, Mithra in Persia, Cabyric Mysteries in Thrace, Adonis in Syria and Dionysus and Eleusis in Greece. All of them will carry sealed in their doctrinal body and essential philosophy the Blessed Tradition of the Sacred SOLAR☀️ Doctrine. The one that later receives and assimilates the Templar Alchemical-Masonic Operative Tradition, as a faithful depository of the Old Orders of the Misteric and Initiatic Line. None of the Ancestral Orders are self-proclaimed with the seal of "authenticity and exclusivity" that the late 17th and 17th century fraternal organizations usually attribute to themselves as their creation. Masons of Grand Lodges, late Rosicrucians, and other self-proclaimed associations Great Masters, Imperators and Majesties in Live and more alive. You lack humility but there are plenty of titles, colorful hats and expensive aprons. '' Worship in Heaven for Thoth. All the gods and all the goddesses venerate him when they look at him in the great boat and in the act of administering peace and justice ... Worship on earth by men, when they see Thoth as King of justice .. Thoth, moon you're in heaven. But also when you are up there, your radiance is on the earth and your light illuminates the two countries ... guardian of the mysteries in Heaven and Earth, great god of the ancient temples ... who established word and scripture ... says Kheriuf.
