Dennis William Hauck presents a penetrating discussion of the origins and power of the ancient teachings of Hermes and how they evolved in alchemy, literature, religion, and science. Topics include the Emerald Tablet, the history of Balinas (Apollonius of Tyana), the seven operations and the Emerald Formula, the planetary archetypes, personal transformation, and Jungian psychology. There is also an extremely powerful 'interview" with Thoth in which he explains the nature of the universe.
