De Templo Mercurii
καὶ οὕτως ὁρμᾷ λοιπὸν ἄνω διὰ τῆς ἁρμονίας, καὶ τῇ πρώτῃ ζώνῃ δίδωσι τὴν αὐξητικὴν ἐνέργειαν καὶ τὴν μειωτικήν, καὶ τῇ δευτέρᾳ τὴν μηχανὴν τῶν κακῶν, δόλον ἀνενέργητον, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ τὴν ἐπιθυμητικὴν ἀπάτην ἀνενέργητον, καὶ τῇ τετάρτῃ τὴν ἀρχοντικὴν προφανίαν ἀπλεονέκτητον, καὶ τῇ πέμπτῃ τὸ θράσος τὸ ἀνόσιον καὶ τῆς τόλμης τὴν προπέτειαν, καὶ τῇ ἕκτῃ τὰς ἀφορμὰς τὰς κακὰς τοῦ πλούτου ἀνενεργήτους, καὶ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ζώνῃ τὸ ἐνεδρεῦον ψεῦδος.
“Thus does the mortal hasten through the harmonious structure, offering up, in the first realm, that vigour which grows and which fades, and – in the second one – those dishonourable machinations, no longer functioning. In the third, that eagerness which deceives, no longer functioning; in the fourth, the arrogance of command, no longer insatiable; in the fifth, profane insolence and reckless haste; in the sixth, the bad inclinations occasioned by riches, no longer functioning; and in the seventh realm, the lies that lie in wait.” Poemandres, v. 25 (Myatt translation)
Hermetic Paideia
Theurgic Temple of the Sons and Daughters of Hermes and Apollo
To the true Children of Hermes, we extend this invitation to the Hermetic Paideia of the Templo Mercurii. This is an alchemical invisible college and Temple of Hermes free from the false, degenerate inversions of the Way of Immortality. This is a theurgic Temple of the Sons and Daughters of Hermes and Apollo, the fusion of the Graeco-Egyptian, Pythagorean, Orphic, and Hyperborean Mysteries. We are in an occult and kinetic war and those disciples of the Great Work must create the initiatory centers, the Hermetic communities, and the Temples of the Gods that endure through these times of chaos.
