Hermeticism refers to the religious doctrine of revelation and secrecy of Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice greatest Hermes - this is what the Greeks called the Egyptian god Thot, meaning Hermes, the messenger of the gods and the god of wisdom, in a syncretistic way. Hermeticism is mainly described in the Corpus Hermeticum (also called "Poimandres" after the first part of 17), the Kybalion, the Tabula Smaragdina and the Picatrix.
