Mercury (Hermes): Difference between revisions

==Herma==

The name of Hermes actually comes from the Greek word herma, which refers to a rectangular or square stone with a very interesting structure. A herma is a small pillar with a human head on top, and directly in the center is an erect masculine sexual organ. The Hermai were placed at crossroads all over Greece. A cross roads is a cross, an intersection of four directions. The cross is not merely a Christian symbol; it is universal.The Greeks would make offerings to these stones. The hermai were considered so sacred that even in times of war invaders would not damage the Hermai of their enemies. They would destroy everything else, but not the Hermai. That is how sacred they where considered to be, and with good reason. This symbol hides everything about the most sacred heart of the Greek mysteries, and Alchemy, Gnosis, Christianity, Egyptian mysticism, Asian mysticism.The head represents the divinity, the perfected man, the primordial Adam who comes out of the stone, who is perfected, sculpted, crafted out of the philosophical stone, the philosophical earth. The method to create a perfect being is through a refined use of the same energy we use to create any other being: the erect masculine sexual organ, through sexual energy. A perfect being is created through the upright, proper use of sex, with mindfulness of the Divine, the source of sexual power. So this symbol from the [[Eleusinian Mysteries]] is the heart and soul of the Greek mythology. These are mysteries that were never communicated to humanity openly and publicly, until the end of the [[Ascension Cycle]].The herma represents the power of Mercury that is trapped in the stone, the power of the messenger of the gods. That is why the Freemasons utilized the stone as the most fundamental symbol of masonry.The waters in sex, the spine, and the mind are ruled by Mercury. They are Mercurial. In Alchemy, they are symbolized by Mercury.
