The Egyptian Thoth, also known as Hermes Trismegistus, is credited with authoring over 20,000 books before 3000 BC. Book subjects included-science, medicine, law, music, religion, art, occultism, mathematics, astronomy, letters, history, and philosophy. The Hermetic Wisdom taught millennia ago by the ibis-headed god can shed light on contemporary questions.
The book- Divine Pymander, contains altered fragments from the Books of Thoth. The Pymander teaches that divine thought is the basis of reality. Thoth is sometimes depicted with a seven-rayed solar disc on his head, indicating his divine intelligence. Thoth-Hermes is also linked to the planet Mercury, the scribe and messenger of the gods, who receives his wisdom from the sun.
Portions of the spiritual teachings of Thoth can be found in all major religions today. Thoth wrote of a unified one God that was invisible and incomprehensible except through the spirit. The immortality of the spirit and the divine justice of God were basic doctrines. Soul liberation was achieved through personal effort and merit. Specific Books of Thoth outlined the spiritual creation and evolution of man and our planet earth. Hermetic symbols can be used as a key for the esoteric interpretation of the Bible.
The Egyptians comprehended nature’s duality and many subtle forms of energy that are unknown to modern science. Mystery schools taught the existence of the ether, and its expression on different planes of life. The laws of nature taught by Thoth seem to contradict the Big Bang theory. Hermetic doctrine teaches that nature moves in slow harmony in the evolutionary process, with no violent transitions or sudden changes, despite physical appearances. He further taught that no form can come into objective existence before the abstract of the form is called forth. This shows that all physical forms have an underlying spiritual counterpart. Hermes taught that spiritual and physical evolution are integrated, and parallel each other-“As above, so below”.
The Secret Teachings of all Ages by Manly P. Hall, is a great source of knowledge about Thoth and many other Ancient Wisdom subjects.
