What is Hermeticism? Who is its mysterious patron Hermes Trismegistus? How did a few short fragments of text influence so many of the great artists and philosophers of the past 1500 years? In this illuminating pocket book, Professor Kenneth Davis opens the door to the Way of Hermes, its history, ideas and practical methods of connecting with the light and mind of the Cosmos, so that you too can see our everyday world for the imaginary construct it is.
