What are you confused about?

> Ancient Hermeticism
Just read the Poimandres and as much else of the ancient corpus as you can.

> Modern Hermeticism
The GD, Crowley, Anna Kingsford, etc. Just don't.

Most of it. I don't really get most of what they're talking about it and reads like some weird acid trip sometimes

What's modern Hermeticism like? What makes it different from ancient Hermeticism?

Read this, it's a really good starting point.

No, it isn't, Kybalion is hot trash.

Listen to this poster:

Ancient is a relatively cohesive philosophy. Modern is a hot mess. What are you reading now that confuses you?

Did you mean to say Hermes Trismegistus? I think you did.

Amazing, you figured it out. Being a hermit is all about being vague and incomprehensible.

it's about preserving food for wartime

Kybalion is just a modern simplification not hot trash

Hermeticism has nothing to do with hermits you moron. At least read a bit before posting.

Are you the epitome of the Dunning Kruger effect in action ? I think you are.

heresy

Wow! The Dunning Kruger! How apt of a description! You’re a very clever lad!
That said, if someone told me they didn’t understand western philosophy I would point them to Plato.

I'm sure that OP knew him, if he spent any time understanding it at all. So your post wasn't "pointing" in the right direction.
That said the Corpus Hermeticum would be my recommendation for OP to read. (Just be sure to get the Copenhaver edition)

Read Garth Fowden's Egyptian Hermes for a good scholarly rundown of the CH. It's in libgen.

modern hermeticism is liberalism with some symbolic paint on top for flavor

There is no modern hermeticism, at least less than the 1% of the total population have an actual understanding of hermeticism and less than 1% is a generous number

Hermeticism is Atlantean in root, not Babylonian. Hermès was a Atlantean survivor.

>Hermeticism is Atlantean in root

Dear God, Yea Forums is retarded.

The Atlanteans brought civilization to the Near East. The Sphinx, for example, is an Atlantean monument.

This and Introduction to Magic are the only two of Evola's books that are praised highly in occult circles.

...

It's syncretic. The Chaldeans bore the cultural foundation of "Egypt," the autochthonous natives, but the Atlanteans very quickly become fundamental to their society (particularly as Kemetic).

The Great Sphinx predates the pyramids. Checkmate.

Atlantis doesn't exist. Checkmate.

well sphinxes are natural predators
