Can anyone here help explain the Hermetica to me? I barely understand any of what is being said. There's some stuff in it about spheres so I'm guessing I should have read some Plato first.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 15:16:30 2022 No.20317186 Read Uzdavinys or Frances Yates' Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (ideally both). Yates has an introductory chapter where she interprets a representative test from the corpus. >>20316493 It pre-dates neoplatonism
