Hymns Of Hermes: Ecstatic Songs Of Gnosis is a compilation of writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, an ancient Egyptian sage and known in metaphysical studies as the "Gnostic Revealer". Translated by G.R.S. Mead (1863-1933), this collection is an initiatory introduction to Hermetic Gnosis and a testament to Mead's mastery of the language and intent of ancient writers of Hermetic works. This edition of a true metaphysical classic is enhanced with an informed and informative introduction by Stephan A. Hoeller (Professor Emeritus of Comparative Religion at the College of Oriental Studies in Los Angeles, California). Hymns Of Hermes is a seminal and very highly recommended core addition to personal reading lists or academic library reference collection in Metaphysical Studies or Gnostic Studies.
