Little introduction needs to be made of Hermes Trismegistus, also known as "The Master of Masters" or "The Thrice Greatest Intelligencer". After his death, he was deified by the Egyptians and gained the named Thoth, and the Greeks, as Hermes. In this small collection of his works are The Divine Pymander, "Aureus" or The Golden Tractate and The Book of Revelation of Hermes. This forms a solid basis for the Hermetic Teachings.
