Hermeticism
also known as Hermetic philosophy, Hermetism
Western esoteric tradition rooted in the Greco-Egyptian Hermetica (c. 100–300 CE). Teaches the correspondence of macrocosm and microcosm, the divinity within the human, and the path of gnosis. Reborn in the Renaissance and threaded through alchemy, astrology, magic, and modern occultism.
From Hermes Trismegistus, attributed author of the corpus.
