Eternal Hermes: From Greek God To Alchemical Magus By Antoine Faivre

Antoine Faivre follows the changing figure of Hermes in The Eternal Hermes: From Greek God to Alchemical Magus. This illustrated study asks how Hermes Trismegistus emerged and became a patron of Western esoteric traditions.

Drawing on rare books and manuscripts, Faivre explores the persistence of Hermes as messenger, revealer of wisdom and guardian of hidden knowledge. A thoughtful choice for readers of Hermetic history and esotericism rather than a practical spell manual.
