Discover the Sacred Teachings of Thoth, the Egyptian Sage
Explore a collection of writings attributed to Thoth, the mythical ancient Egyptian sage whose profound wisdom transformed him into a god. Venerated in Egypt from at least 3000 BCE, Thoth is credited with the invention of sacred hieroglyphic writing and is often depicted as a scribe with the head of an ibis in many temples and tombs.
The Legacy of Hermeticism
Thoth revealed to the Egyptians all knowledge on astronomy, architecture, geometry, medicine, and religion. His influence was so profound that the ancient Greeks identified him with their own god Hermes, the messenger of the gods and guide of souls in the afterlife. To honor his unparalleled wisdom, they bestowed upon him the title “Trismegistus”, meaning “Thrice-Great”. The sacred writings attributed to him became known as “The Hermetica”.
Influence on Western Thought
Although not widely known, the writings of Hermes Trismegistus have played a crucial role in the history of Western thought. They profoundly influenced the Greeks and, through their rediscovery in fifteenth-century Florence, helped to inspire the Renaissance, which gave birth to our modern age.
