Green Hermeticism Peter Lamborn Wilson, Christopher Bamford, Kevin Townley, Pir Zia Inayat Khan
Lindisfarne Books 1584200499 / 9781584200499 Paperback New
Hermeticism or alchemy is the ancient primordial mystery science of nature through which people in all times and places have for the sake of world evolution sought to unite Heaven and Earth--divinity cosmos earth and humanity as a single whole. Selfless intimate dedicated to healing and harmony Hermeticism has accompanied and sustained every religious epoch and revelation. It may be found in all historical cultures from the traditions of India and China in the East to the Judeo-Christian West. It could even be said that Hermeticism is the primal cosmological revelation and the common ground of all spiritual traditions. Nevertheless in the great revival of mystical esoteric traditions and practices during the last century Hermetic tradition--in fact Nature herself--has been largely ignored. Today when the Earth seems most under attack Green Hermeticism is especially appropriate. The book explores not only the ancient Masters' inner science but also their science of Nature. During spring and summer 2006 Pir Zia Khan convened a series of gatherings to begin to unfold the contemporary meaning of ancient sacred science for our time. Green Hermeticism is a partial record of that meeting. Peter Lamborn Wilson explores the many ramifications of the alternative worldview offered by Hermeticism; Christopher Bamford provides a broad historical overview of the tradition from the Ancient Mysteries to contemporary manifestations of the alchemical tradition; while Kevin Townley brings a practical dimension to the gathering teaching the preparation of herbal elixirs and demonstrating that cosmology and philosophy can become a truly healing path for the Earth. Green Hermeticism is necessary reading for anyone seeking a spiritual and cultural path for the healing of the current ecological and cultural crisis.
