Purpose Statement
2024-03-21 12:01Welcome to my blog on Hermeticism! This blog is dedicated to Hermeticism and esotericism in general.
I chose to start writing here because I am deeply fascinated by the occult. My interest began when I was a teenager, and my parents purchased a copy of Helena Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine (although they were never interested in occultism). I read it from cover to cover and was absolutely captivated. I didn’t understand much then, but it ignited my passion for exploring the occult and esoteric.
I created this blog as a personal journal, but I hope to make it a hub for like-minded individuals who share my interest in occultism. Ideally, I would like to build an encyclopedia of esoteric subjects that anyone can use for reference. It’s an ambitious goal, but it’s achievable. If you are curious about Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, astrology, Cabala, or the history of esotericism, you may like my blog posts. I will share rare materials from ancient texts and contemporary works, along with my interpretations and insights. Furthermore, I plan to highlight the significant contributions of influential figures in esotericism. The purpose of this blog is to share knowledge. Someone may discover the exact information they need for their spiritual journey on the pages of this blog. I have often drawn information from the vast online resources, so it is time to contribute to this great library of Alexandria.
I will conclude this post with an ancient Egyptian prayer to Thoth, the god of wisdom, magic, and writing: “Come to me, Thoth, O noble Ibis. O god who longs for Khmunu, O dispatch-writer of the Ennead, the great one of Unu. Come to me that you may give advice and make me skillful in your office. Better is your profession than all professions. It makes men great. He who is skilled in it is found fit to exercise the office of magistrate. I have seen many for whom you have acted and they are in the council of the Thirty, they being strong and powerful through what you have done. You are the one who has given advice. You are the one who has given advice to the motherless man. Shay and Renenwetet are with you. Come to me that you may advise me. I am the servant of your house. Let me relate your prowess in whatever land I am. Then the multitude of men shall say “How great are the things that Thoth has done.” Then they shall come with their children to brand them with your profession, a calling good to the Lord of Victory. Joyful is the one who has exercised it.”
