filled with peace and the utmost harmony:
Iam redit et virgo, redeunt saturnia regna... (the virgin is back now, and back are the reigns
of Saturn. But you, caste Licinia, be appropriate for the child who is coming [...] and in the
whole world there will be a golden race).
This revelation, however, also has a universal value: It is about every man
and offered to all those who want it. It is the chance to attain the spiritual
growth which enables their “soul” to be finally reunited with God, from
whence it came.
Esotericism
The term “Esotericism” normally refers to a set of secret teachings that
are often inaccessible even to the initiates themselves. In this case, they
are worshipped without trying to penetrate their wisdom. Much more often
the teachings are secret because this knowledge is only taught within
(esoterikòs) the circle of a teacher's disciples and cannot be disclosed
publicly.
Teachings like magic, the mysteriosophic religion and chemistry were
considered “esoteric”, that is they were transmitted only to those disciples
who were deemed capable of understanding, and therefore worthy of
receiving the knowledge.
The Corpus Hermeticum
In this cultural and religious environment we find the figure of Hermes
Trismegistus 28 who is a master with language, bearer of “logos”, which creates
and orders the creation, the guarantor of that salvation that the Hellenic man,
who is alone, isolated, and abandoned to the forces of chaos, has an enormous
need for.
