Not all illumination is gentle. Some truths arrive with teeth, demanding courage before understanding.

Im very excited to finally have some amanita muscaria to experience in my hands. I’m planning on using this plant to inspire myself and and learn grom this plant spirit. :) #amanitamuscaria #toadstool #poisonpath #traditionalwitchcraft #occultstudy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Li5L2HKmB/?igshid=6f3awh395alp

One of the core ideas found throughout Hermetic thought is that the cosmos is ordered rather than chaotic. The movements of the heavens, the cycles of nature, and the development of the soul were all seen as interconnected expressions of a greater underlying order.

Contrary to popular belief, Hermeticism is not a single religion. It is better understood as a philosophical and spiritual tradition that has influenced alchemy, astrology, magic, mysticism, Renaissance thought, and many modern esoteric movements.

The famous Hermetic phrase "As above, so below" is often misunderstood. It does not mean that everything is identical on every level of reality. Rather, it suggests that patterns found in one realm may be reflected in another, allowing the study of nature, the heavens, and the self to illuminate one another
