In this episode of Esoterica we are going to introduce and explore the Hermetic Writings that survive outside the classic Greek tractates and the Latin Asclepius. Here we discover a staggering diversity of texts and traditions all of which give us a better glimpse onto the the spiritual philosophy of Hermeticism. In this episode we explore the Three Hermetic tracts in the Nag Hammadi Library, the copious Stobaean Fragments, Armenian Hermetic Definitions, Oxford and Vienna Papyri and an overview of the General Fragments and Testimonies about Hermes Trismegistus and the "Way of Hermes."
