XXVII. TO MERCURY [HERMES]

The Fumigation from Frankincense.
Hermes, draw near, and to my pray’r incline, angel of Jove [Zeus], and Maia’s son divine;
Studious of contests, ruler of mankind, with heart almighty, and a prudent mind.
Celestial messenger, of various skill, whose pow’rful arts could watchful Argus kill:
With winged feet, ’tis thine thro’ air to course, O friend of man, and prophet of discourse:
Great life-supporter, to rejoice is thine, in arts gymnastic, and in fraud divine:
With pow’r endu’d all language to explain, of care the loos’ner, and the source of gain.
Whose hand contains of blameless peace the rod, Corucian, blessed, profitable God;
Of various speech, whose aid in works we find, and in necessities to mortals kind:
Dire weapon of the tongue, which men revere, be present, Hermes, and thy suppliant hear;
Assist my works, conclude my life with peace, give graceful speech, and me Memory’s increase.

The True and Authentic Hermetic Way does not seek the counsel of the Enemies of Life. It is not to be lost in abstractions, in false paths of goetic, Masonic and New Age snares and dead ends. It is to regain the essential True Humanity that Remembers the Celestial Heritage of the Immortals. It is a Cult of Memory, an initiatory path to awaken and exalt from the amnesia, lethargy, and slumber of the spells of these dark forces. It is a Radical Hermeticism that is distilling, purging and assaying all sources with critical discernment as to their sources, agenda, their roles in the Occult War propaganda of the scribes.

True Hermetic Studies are ‘pagan’ in the sense of the Old Way. The sources of the kabbalistic and all related inversions, distortions and plagiarisms, are anti-Traditional. They opposed and destroyed all that came before and claimed and appropriated what remained. The Hermetic Path is the key to the Hyperborean Mysteries and those of Kemet, and likewise the alchemical Traditions of the Indo-Aryans. This is documented within the mythos and lore, as the various connections clearly expressed in the visits of adepts, the linking of Gods and traditions in hymns, all of which show a unity. The Enemy sought to break this chain, sever this link with the Gods and to destroy the Mysteries, the Way of Immortality. This is replaced by fetters, traps and snares that promise liberation and freedom, only to bind one deeper into this false construct.

The Way of Hermes is to regain this essential Memory through this Quest, the ordeals, trials, the rites and rituals that unlock what has been nearly erased and forgotten. As one studies the ancestral Ways, as a True Human Being amongst the ruins, one can see the infections of Narrative, of spirit and heart these alien anti-traditions have done. They have inverted all that is heroic, distorted all that is Philosophy, and in a reverse alchemy have transmuted the Golden Rites of Rebirth into putrid, degenerate chaos. Indeed, they are charlatans repackaging the same old lies and poisons and “They muddy the water to make it seem deep.”

This is an elite, intimate, anonymous group for those whose Memories have awakened, whose Great Yearning has been stirred and the restless Faustian spirit rejects the mundane occultism, the New Age and quasi-Masonic, the dessicated Kabbalistic and Solomonic degeneracy and seek a Noble, Royal Path of the Gods. To those that join at this foundational level there is a special kinship and filiation and we are grateful for such supporters.

“And the first of the gods that he commemorated with his song was Mnemosyne, Mother of Muses, for the son of Maia was a follower of hers.”
