Hermetically comes from Hermes, Mercury. Gnosis is a hermetic tradition. We are from the tradition of Hermes, Mercury. When you work with Hermes Mercury, your vessel must be perfectly sealed. “Hermetically sealed” refers to our [[Yesod]] or [[2nd Chakra]] and sphere. Hermetically sealed means we let no energy escape. We retain our inner creative froces, our sexual energy, the forces of Yesod, the foundation, so that that energy can be used to build our temple from the solid stone in our root <ref>[http://gnosticteachings.org/courses/alchemy/3142-mercury-hermes.html Mercury Hermes]</ref>. | |||
==Hermeticism==Parts of the Hermetica appeared in the 4th-century Gnostic library found in Nag Hammadi.— another famous tract is the Emerald Tablet of Thoth, which teaches the doctrine "as above, so below". The Hermetica are Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE, which are mostly presented as dialogues in which a teacher, generally identified as Hermes Trismegistus ("thrice-greatest Hermes"), enlightens a disciple. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism. They discuss the divine, the cosmos, mind, and nature. Some touch upon alchemy, astrology, and related concepts.
