"Hermeticism is an ancient spiritual, philosophical, and magical tradition. It is a path of spiritual growth. Hermeticism takes its name from the God Hermes Trismegistos (Greek, "Thrice-Greatest Hermes"), a Graeco-Egyptian form of the great Egyptian God of Wisdom and Magic, Thoth. What the Hermetic Fellowship defines as Hermeticism has also been called the Western Esoteric Tradition, and embraces the Perennial Philosophy or the Ageless Wisdom."
