Gemini AI didn’t know anything about what is going on in this picture. If you do, please check the Web page and then comment, either there or here.

The central figure, a naked male, is #hermes or #Mercury , & labeled as such with the #alchemy symbol and by carrying his caruceus.

I do not own this book 😉

A border from the title page of a compilation of several books on #alchemy #hermeticism #theurgy #occult subjects from 1678 (actually there was an earlier edition too).

I asked Google Gemini to explain the symbology and it did a credible job, if not perfect: the philosopher’s stone is the search gorr personal godhead, not for gold. See the web page for what it said.

I'm excited to see @polyphanes run his new set of topics for the Weekly Hermeticism channel on Hermetic House of Life. Looks like some good stuff coming up! #hermeticism #hermetic

My new YouTube video is here! It's about the Kybalion and the Hermetic House of Life and how annoying the Kybalion is! It features @polyphanes and lots of shaky photographs. Please enjoy!

I've created a new YouTube video, and it's about the Kybalion! Currently it is only available to Patreon members. Enjoy!

I like to make fun of the #Kybalion a lot, so I also like to offer people some good alternatives. It claims to be about Hermetic philosophy, but we all know it isn't. What is Hermetic philosophy? How can you learn about Hermeticism? Try some of these delightful books!

A lot of you have probably heard of Nicholas Chapel because he wrote that excellent article debunking the origins of the Kybalion, "The Kybalion's New Clothes." He got a lot of attention for that piece, but it turns out that Mr. Chapel is also a brilliant ceremonial magician and IT security person.

I had the pleasure of interviewing him for my #podcast back in 2021, and it's an episode that anybody can enjoy.
