Reaction: Esoterica: The Origins of Hermeticism?

This video on the birth of Hermeticism, 500 years before it was commonly thought to exist, to digging up the one and only temple/tomb complex that had been buried by the desert for all that time, to find the first interaction between Thoth and middle Platonism. (Greek graffiti praising Thoth was found on a temple wall). Gosh. Just so lovely. I’m not into any of the systems of old dead dudes, but I can appreciate history and syncretism so much.


I learn these other systems only to better describe Platonic Surrealism, as all systems and frameworks refer to it under the hood.

A big nod to Justin Sledge at Esoterica, one of the best channels of it’s kind, hands down.
