Corpus Hermeticum
Hermeticism or Hermetism is a philosophical system based on the purported teachings of Hermes Trismegistus (a legendary Hellenistic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth). These teachings are contained in the various writings attributed to Hermes (the Hermetica), which were produced over a period spanning many centuries (c. 300 BCE — 1200 CE) and may be very different in content and scope. The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of 17 Greek writings whose authorship is traditionally attributed to the legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. The treatises were originally written between c. 100 and c. 300 CE, but the collection as known today was first compiled by medieval Byzantine editors. It was translated into Latin in the 15th century by the Italian humanist scholars Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) and Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500).
Shadows of Ecstasy
"Shadows of Ecstasy" by Charles Williams is a compelling novel that ventures into the realms of political intrigue, spiritual exploration, and global conflict. Set in a dystopian future, the story follows a charismatic leader who rises to power in a nation torn by ideological divisions and the impending threat of war. Blending elements of supernatural mysticism with political maneuvering, Williams crafts a narrative where the boundaries between earthly and spiritual powers become increasingly blurred. As the protagonist's influence grows, the novel delves into the complex interplay between personal ambition, ideological fervor, and the inherent dangers of seeking power at any cost. Published in 1933, "Shadows of Ecstasy" remains a thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of unchecked zealotry and the ethical dilemmas faced when confronted with the allure of absolute control. With its blend of speculative fiction and philosophical inquiry, Williams invites readers to contemplate the delicate balance between individual desires and the well-being of society as a whole.
