Referred to as the “Thrice-Great Hermes,” Hermes Trismegistus is the purported author of the Hermetic Corpus, a series of books that form the literary basis of Hermeticism. Hermes Trismegistus is a syncretic representation of the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greek god Hermes.

Symbol of the Day is a video series where I post a symbol related to religion, spirituality, magic, or the occult and explain its origins and meaning roughly 3 times a week. As a scholar of World Religions one of my biggest passion is learning about symbols and how they fit within the mythologies they originate from. All the symbol sfeatured have also been published on instagram @dpharry. Let me know what other symbols you think should be featured in the future.
