The Corpus Hermeticum is a series of short philosophical and religious treatises dating from the beginning of the Common Era. Most of the texts take the form of a dialogue between Hermes Trismegistos and one or more of his disciples. The texts are loosely related but clearly separate tracts seemingly written by many different authors who use the character of Hermes Trismegistos as a prop to express their unique philosophies. The Poimandres, often called "Pymander" by older translators, is the arguably the most important as it contains a very complete creation story and description of salvation. There are obvious parallels between the story in this book and the biblical creation, and while the book is clearly not Christian, it is certainly Gnostic. Also included in this book is the second book of the Corpus Hermeticum, Hermes to Asclepius, and GRS Mead's comment on the Poimandres.

I don't know enough about historical texts to know how closely it was translated, but my heart understood it and had a fairly easy time digesting the information.

Both content and delivery were great

A digestible reading of Hermetic works. I listen to it a couple times a month, the narrator's voice also lends to the age of these principles

A very meaningful interpretation

The concepts are clearly expressed and explained. I’m still relatively new to Hermetic teachings but of the few works I’ve read I’d recommend this to any beginner interested in learning.
