 The Way of Hermes:
New Translations of The Corpus Hermeticum and The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius
By Clement Salaman
The Corpus Hermeticum, a powerful fusion of Greek and Egyptian thought, is one of the cornerstones of the Western esoteric tradition. A collection of short philosophical treatises, it was written in Greek between the first and third centuries C.E. and translated into Latin during the Renaissance by the great scholar and philosopher Marsilio Ficino. These treatises were central to the spiritual work of hermetic societies in Late Antique Alexandria and aimed to awaken gnosis, the direct realization of the unity of the individual and the Supreme. In addition to this new translation of The Corpus Hermeticum, which seeks to reflect the inspirational intent of the original, The Way of Hermes includes the first English translation of the recently rediscovered manuscript of The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius, a collection of aphorisms used by the hermetic student to strengthen the mind during meditation. With the proper mental orientation, a state of pure perception can be achieved in which the true face of God appears. This document is of enormous value to the contemporary student of gnostic studies for its insights into the actual workings of this spiritual path.

Kybalion:
A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece
By The Three Initiates
This book must be read by any serious student of the esoteric. The way in which the author describes nature and mind, laying out the hermetic ideas in a way that is concise, makes this work an absolute classic of Hermetic literature. Anyone who intends to practice the arts of alchemy, theurgy, high magic, sorcery or even an eastern path of meditation or yoga should read this book a few times. While I don't agree with everything in this book (I never agree with everything in any book), and I have no idea where or from whom it came, I think they were observant of the truths of nature. This is the single greatest contemporary book of hermetic theory/philosophy, and I think it will stand the tests of time where other books will fall by the wayside.

The Hermetic Tradition:
Symbols and Teachings of the Royal Art
By Julius Evola
This important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines sets forth the mysterious worldview and teachings of the practitioners of the "royal art." One of the leading exponents of the Hermetic tradition, Julius Evola demonstrates the singularity of subject matter that lies behind the words of all adepts in all ages, showing how alchemy--often misunderstood as primitive chemistry or a mere template for the Jungian process of "individuation"--is nothing less than a universal secret science of human and natural transformation. Draws from a host of sources in the Western esoteric tradition--works on theurgy, magic, and gnosticism from neoplatonic, Arab, and medieval sources.
