Description
The non-selfish hermeticism dedicated to healing and harmony has accompanied every religious epoch and revelation. The hermetic and alchemical approach to nature is not limited to the West or to Abrahamic religions, but is entirely universal. Alchemy was practiced all over the world - there is Indian, Tibetan, Chinese alchemy, and more, and it still offers a compassionate, cosmic, holistic, and non-dualistic alternative to the fragmentation and alienation of modern science.
In the spring and summer of 2006, Pir Zia Khan convened a series of meetings where the contemporary significance of ancient sacred science for our time began to emerge. Green hermeticism is a partial record of these meetings. Peter Lamborn Wilson explores many implications of the alternative worldview that hermeticism offers; Christopher Bamford provides a broad historical overview of the tradition from ancient mysteries to contemporary expressions of the alchemical tradition; while Kevin Townley brings a practical dimension to the meetings, teaching the preparation of herbal elixirs and demonstrating that cosmology and philosophy can become a truly healing path for the Earth.
