In this presentation, Roger traces the deep Egyptian roots of the Hermetic tradition, moving from the Pyramid Texts and The Book of Two Ways through Thoth, Osiris, and the transformation of myth into symbol, magic, and consciousness, culminating in the emergence of Hermes Trismegistus and the Hermetic worldview. Exploring funerary texts, the journey of the soul, language as a vehicle of transformation, and the idea that all gods are expressions of a single invisible unity, this presentation reveals how introspection, symbol, and magical language give rise to consciousness itself. It shows how the Hermetic tradition evolved to preserve an unbroken lineage of wisdom across millennia—eventually shifting from guiding souls through the afterlife to teaching the living the path toward everlasting life—setting the stage for the Corpus Hermeticum and The Poimandres in the following session.
