I really appreciate your channel. Instead of telling us how to do "magic", like some of those KZbin mages like to do, you inform us in a scolary manner about the subject. Not pretending to summon demons or creating the philosophers stone but real information about the different books, scrolls or papyrus and their hystory. Thanks.

[@duantorruellas716]

You are very wise my friend . I took many years studying the academic background on these arts before starting the practice. Many gods go through changes over the centuries and knowing the beginnings of them is important. Like pazuzu the demon that attacked Linda blair's character in the exorcist. Highly unlikely pazuzu would attack little girls as it was pazuzu who protected children before hollywood got their hands on this entity. And also what started as people saying a few words to their daemons before leaving the house that changed to people praying to demons before leaving the house. Here people started to see this go from an internal to what was thought of as an external power . The understanding of how systems changed over history tells us much about the bare bones of the system at its core.

I can't express enough the amazing resonances and singular brilliance of this episode from a year ago (!) that I had thought would also elude me intellectually as I attempt to grasp even the foundational concepts discussed and only just now played.

And Thoth has been and continues to be the most fascinating figure from Ancient Egypt! Every second of the episode had me pause desk work to watch it all and take it all in! Plus serendipities come to mind! A certain path to step onto with integrity and intrepidness. Hekat/Haket 🍺 raised to you, Doctor Justin Sledge!

I'm studying Coptic right now, once I have both Sahidic and Bohairic "mastered" I plan on diving into Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphics. I feel it's best to start with Coptic because it will allow me to get a clearer grasp on the workings of this interesting language.

[@spacetimeworm]

Being that I, myself, am entirely uneducated on these matters, this will probably be a dumb question: Is there some reason you are starting with Middle Egyptian as opposed to Early Egyptian hieroglyphs? Wouldn't it make more sense to start at the beginning, chronologically? This is not meant to be a trolling or a shitty comment, btw. As stated, I am ignorant, just curious..

Usually, I have to replay every sentence, or every few sentences, to gain a full (fuller, yet sadly, eternally incomplete, if I'm honest) understanding of the material. I can't even imagine the myriad hours you must have spent just absorbed in these ancient, ethereal and magical worlds through your research, literally discovering the lost secrets of mankind and those of our universe.

[@stevenbollinger9776]

I was introduced to Hermeticism by a dear friend of mine who recently passed away. Although I have some knowledge of the Latin and Greek Classics, before meeting my friend, I wasn't entirely sure what the term "Hermetic" meant. (That's true, but also, I think, a good joke about the academic separation of a few ancient texts deemed "Classic" from all the rest.) I first came across your channel yesterday, and I've watched several of your videos on Hermeticism since then. Right at the very beginning of the first video I saw the volumes by Lynn Thorndike on the shelf behind you, which to me was a very hopeful sign of quality, and you haven't disappointed in the slightest. Then toward the end of that video I was thinking, Well, this guy's the bomb, but I still need some help sorting out the editions of the primary sources -- BUT YOU RECOMMEND EDITIONS OF THE PRIMARY SOURCES!!! On KZbin no less! So I'll be working my way through some of the primary texts, in order of their linguistic difficulty for me: Latin first, because it's the easiest for me, then Greek, then... well, I guess, for me personally it's a tie for 3rd place between Armenian and Coptic and Hebrew and Arabic and Aramaic, and did I forget any? But yeah, I'll definitely let you know how that goes! I'm stoked! Amazon has shipped Festugière's edition of Asclepius!

What a super puzzle - similar to figuring out high-end cryptography, my friend! Here's a symbolic guess: * Catching fish in the net = Gathering thoughts and concepts to be put into writing. Very interesting the correlation with Hermes The Thrice Great. As we have entered The Age of Aquarius, (The Water Bearer), answers and enlightenment are coming forth...

[@timothystamm3200]

Well, the Greeco-Roman-Egyptian syncretismm held that Hermes and Thoth were one and the same. So perhaps Hermes the Thrice Great is referring to a God of Wisdom, specifically perhaps Thoth, rather than a person. In fact, they also believed the gods ruled Egypt as Pharoahs before the Old Kingdom, so it's possible any description of him speaking to people and just wandering about is referring to that belief in his rule at some time in the past.

[@SaveTheBiosphere]

[@FreemanPresson]

Great summary! I would add a few observations based on my recent reading of this book. A huge part of the difficulty of the text is that it is fragmentary even by ancient manuscript standards (I sang "lacuna, lacuna" to the tune of "Corinna, Corinna" at certain points). There are numerous instances of reference to the opening of the mouth ritual, or the underlying method of "Telesmatics." (Not sure if I coined that) aside from describing the initiation of the scribe. It is also clear that the hieroglyphs themselves were viewed as spiritually alive, and that much of the education of the scribe required learning to listen to the voice of each of them. Lastly, I doubt we will get much further into the connections to the Hermetica without discovering more of the related texts. 42 sounds about right. I hope they do turn up, and that someone has the nerve to publish _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Books of Thoth_.

I think you are right Dr Sledge. Your description of the initiations of the book of Thoth sound very familiar to Golden Dawn, Rosicrusian and Free Masonic initiations.

[@ziu1163]

I absolutely love your channel. Something that occurred to me while watching this was how interesting it would be to get your perspective on how a scholar in each of several periods would have viewed the pedigree of their literature. For example, would an early Hermetic scholar believe they could trace their wisdom to a literal Thoth? Did Medieval readers of the Zohar think of this wisdom as having come spontaneously from Rashbi, or perhaps as belonging to an older oral tradition? And did the movement of literary Humanism view themselves as unearthing ancient truths that would recycle some sort of golden age, or did they view their work more as literary archeology? I suppose you could call this a metaretrospective or something.

[@attackofthewindmills]

So very well done. You are able to understand perspectives of the human being through time as their consciousness of themselves were bound to their time period. It's more scientific than interpretation because essentially it's about unbiased observation. The way we are taught is that one can step into the past and become like them and rewrite things so that it conforms to truth. In other words, can we really write down things today and claim they will be truths 100 of years later? We cannot and if we understand we are attempting to look at it the same way in these hermetic text.

Thank you for your dedicated work and passion in the field of ancient manuscripts. As a layman who had three distinct experiences over a fifteen year process from a near death experience to a right living experience to a complete surrender event that would quite literally destroy me, I began my research after the last event and 18 years later am enriched further from the study of any literature that helps point to a larger picture. As this picture unfolds I can see two forces at work, one is dual in nature and encompasses the world of form and the other is singular and is the divine place. Interestingly, to traverse from one to the other requires us to be dependent on the will of the divine and lay down that which we have learned through the study of knowledge. Once we understand the knowledge and clearly see all the parts at work we choose the one in place of the two joyously. Its truly incredible to journey to this clarity as a kind of excitement comes over you that everything is covered.

I totally agree. Although how can we really agree. But the initial teaching is brought upon us by beings attempting to salvage our legacy. So that in itself means the lesson is that. Not to project meaning. But to ride the simplicity. Thus by saying we know what it means we forget its real meaning. The roots are lost so we call story tellers gods and demons... sad..
