With that in mind, let's talk about Hermes Trismegistus.
Hermes Trismegistus, if I'm pronouncing his name correctly, was both a Greek and Egyptian figure who had a significant influence on philosophy and, indirectly, on modern medicine.
For instance, when you see the winged serpent symbol on medical staff insignias, that symbol is connected to Hermes.
Ancient texts like the Kybalion and The Emerald Tablets of Thoth offer valuable perspectives on the world.
Today, we're going to discuss a lament, or prophecy, from Hermes Trismegistus to his son Asclepius.
It's a rather bleak prediction about the future, but you might notice parallels between what Hermes described and the current state of society.
Ancient Egypt
The conversation includes the god Thoth and King Thoth.
Thoth, the bird-headed god, symbolized knowledge, communication, and wisdom, and was believed to have originated in Sirius.
King Thoth, a Pharaoh of Egypt’s First Dynasty, declared Egypt an empire, ruling with the power of a dictator, and oppressing the people's rights.
The parallels between Egypt and current events in the United States are also highlighted, particularly the way King Thoth and the later Pharaohs used Osirian knowledge for self-serving purposes rather than following the teachings of divine unity, which mirrors issues seen today.
The worship of Crawling things
God Thoth: The ibis bird was sacred to Thoth, the god of wisdom, writing, and knowledge.
Thoth was often depicted with the head of an ibis, and the bird was revered in connection with intellectual pursuits and the moon.
Zeus gave it to Hermes, slayer of Argos, guide, and guardian. King Hermes gave it to Pelops, the mighty charioteer, and Pelops to Atreus, shepherd of his people.

The Phoenician history
After Ouranos attempts to kill his children, Kronos, with Hermes' help, overthrows him, establishing his rule and founding the city of Byblos.
“This is the account found written in the Cosmogony of Taautos and in his records, based on conjectures and on bits of evidence which his intellect perceived, discovered and clarified for us."
“From Misor came Taautos, who discovered how to write the first letters.
He is the one whom the Egyptians called Thouth, the Alexandrians Thoth, and the Greeks Hermes.
“When Kronos reached manhood, he punished his father Ouranos and thus avenged his mother, utilizing Hermes Trismegistos—for he was his secretary—as counselor and helper.
The former died in early maidenhood; with the advice of the latter, Athena, as well as of Hermes, Kronos made a sickle and spear of iron.
Then Hermes used magic spells on the allies of Kronos and instilled in them a desire to fight against Ouranos on behalf of Ge.
Afterwards, Kronos began to suspect his own brother Atlas, and on the advice of Hermes, he cast him down and buried him in the depths of the earth.
"Before this, the god Taautos, imitating the visages of his fellow gods, Kronos, Dagon and the rest, engraved the sacred forms of the letters.
When he went to the southern land, Kronos transferred all of Egypt to the god Taautos, so that it might become his kingdom.
"The seven sons of Sydyk, the Kabeiri, and the eighth son, their brother Asclepius," he says, "were the first of all men to record these things, as the god Taautos ordered them.
(There follows a short passage from the work “On the Jews” by Philo, which also credits Taautos with the discovery of true “theology.” Cf.
“So Taautos himself regarded as divine the nature of the serpent and snakes, as did the Phoenicians and Egyptians after him; for this animal, according to the tradition established by him, was fiery and the most filled with breath of all crawling things.
When it fulfills its determined limit, it is consumed into itself, as Taautos himself similarly narrates in his sacred writings.
"Therefore, all took their materials from Taautos and speculated on nature as previously indicated.

Autolycus, son of Hermes
Autolycus, a figure in Greek mythology, is renowned as the son of Hermes, the god of trade, thieves, and travelers, and Chione, a mortal woman.
Autolycus was born to Hermes, the messenger god, and Chione, the daughter of Daedalion.
Hermes was known for his cunning and trickery, and these qualities were inherited by his son.
According to some accounts, Autolycus was born with the ability to shapeshift and make himself or his possessions invisible, gifts bestowed upon him by Hermes.
Mount Cyllene
Mount Cyllene is most famous in Greek mythology as the birthplace of Hermes, the messenger god and the god of trade, thieves, and travelers.
According to the myth, Hermes was born in a cave on Mount Cyllene to Maia, one of the Pleiades, and Zeus.
Hermes was known for his cunning and speed, and he is often depicted wearing winged sandals and a winged hat.
Mount Cyllene is also associated with the myth of Autolycus, the son of Hermes and Chione.
In antiquity, Mount Cyllene was revered as a sacred place, particularly because of its association with Hermes.
The mountain was home to a sanctuary dedicated to Hermes, where pilgrims would offer sacrifices and seek the god’s favor.
The cave where Hermes was said to have been born became a site of worship, attracting visitors from across Greece.
One of the most famous legends associated with Mount Cyllene is the story of Hermes stealing Apollo’s cattle shortly after his birth.
According to the myth, Hermes, still an infant, sneaked out of his cave on Mount Cyllene, stole Apollo’s cattle, and cleverly disguised his tracks.
When confronted by Apollo, Hermes used his charm and wit to appease the god, eventually becoming reconciled with him.
This story emphasizes the mountain’s connection to Hermes’s clever and mischievous nature.
The cave on Mount Cyllene, believed to be the birthplace of Hermes, is also central to many myths.
It was said that the cave held special powers and that those who visited it could gain the favor of Hermes.

Thoth’s arrival in Khem

This period marked a time of confusion and fear among the locals, as they were unaccustomed to the advanced energies and wisdom that Thoth and his group brought.
