The author examines the known details about the psychoactive agent and explores the Mysteries' influence on, and relationship to, early Christianity. Guided meditations, using active imagination techniques, help readers summon an experience with the goddess.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49583739404561,"sku":"GOR003750802","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49734481608977,"sku":"NGR9781556435812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49853351723281,"sku":"CIN1556435819G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324155363601,"sku":"CIN1556435819VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1556435819.jpg?v=1751308964"},{"product_id":"light-of-hermes-trismegistus-book-charles-stein-9781644114612","title":"The Light of Hermes Trismegistus","description":"A presentation of seven essential texts, central to the Hermetic Tradition, never before published together  • Includes Theogony, The Homeric Hymn to Hermes, The Poem of Parmenides, The Poimandres, The Chaldean Oracles, Hymn to Isis, and On Divine Virtue, each translated from the original Greek or Latin  • Presents interpretive commentary for each text to progressively weave them together historically, poetically, hermeneutically, and magically  Linked to both the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus is credited, through legend, with thousands of mystical and philosophical writings of high standing, each reputed to be of immense antiquity. During the Renaissance, a collection of such writings known as the Corpus Hermeticum greatly inspired the thought of philosophers, alchemists, artists, poets, and even theologians.   Offering new translations of seven essential Hermetic texts from their earliest source languages, Charles Stein presents them alongside introductions and interpretive commentary, revealing their hidden gems of insight, suggesting directions for practice, and progressively weaving the texts together historically, poetically, hermeneutically, and magically. The book includes translations of Hesiod’s Theogony, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, the “Poem of Parmenides,” the Poimandres from the Corpus Hermeticum, the Chaldean Oracles, “The Vision of Isis” from Apuleius’s Metamorphoses, and “On Divine Virtue” by Zosimos of Panopolis.   Through his introductions and commentaries, Stein explains how the many traditions that use Hermes’s name harbor a coherent spirit whose relevance and efficacy promise to carry Hermes forward into the future.   Revealing Hermes as the very principle of Mind in all its possibilities, from intellectual brilliance to the workings of the cognitive life of everyone, the author shows how these seven texts are central to a still-evolving Western tradition in which the principle of spiritual awakening is allied with the creative. Never before published together, these texts present a new vehicle for transmission of the Hermetic Genius in modern times.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745564336401,"sku":"NGR9781644114612","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1644114615.jpg?v=1750831105"},{"product_id":"american-vaudeville-book-charles-stein-9780394537436","title":"American Vaudeville","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50174543495441,"sku":"CIN0394537432VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50413279478033,"sku":"CIN0394537432A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51092414136593,"sku":"GOR006746005","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51115040702737,"sku":"GOR010721482","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52695769153809,"sku":"CIN0394537432G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0394537432.jpg?v=1750942539"},{"product_id":"everything-that-seems-must-seem-to-be-book-charles-stein-9781581771930","title":"Everything That Seems Must Seem to Be","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037872423185,"sku":"NIN9781581771930","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1581771932.jpg?v=1751374486"},{"product_id":"example-of-fiducial-inference-book-charles-stein-9781258654566","title":"An Example of Fiducial Inference","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51385283838225,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51385285148945,"sku":"NIN9781258654566","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1258654563.jpg?v=1751270948"},{"product_id":"there-where-you-do-not-think-to-be-thinking-book-charles-stein-9781941550120","title":"There Where You Do Not Think to Be Thinking","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoetry. THERE WHERE YOU DO NOT THINK TO BE THINKING speaks from a stock of some 26 characters, numinous objects, oddly configured abstractions one for each letter of the English alphabet which I imagine as wildly heterological metonyms to display the emergence of all that comes to Appear. In its own terms, the poem literally scries or conjures itself into existence and offers emergence as a figure for the productive generosity, as it were, of Being. But the subjectivity of poetry and its obsession with its own nature thereby seems to flip: it is reality that solicits the meaning of poetry, not the other way round. Reality subsumes the very intuitions that it fosters, projecting itself and the writer and reader together onto an intransitive itinerary of pondering, the exit from which can only be Discovery Itself. from Charles Stein in conversation with Derek Owens\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52334799520017,"sku":"NLS9781941550120","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53109769240849,"sku":"NIN9781941550120","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941550120.jpg?v=1758158029"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-charles-stein.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
