The Divine Pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus (2023 Modernized Edition): A carefully composed plain language rendition for modern readers of Hermetic philosophy

by Hermes Trismegistus

And so it came to pass that I received Pimander, the Lord of the Word, in my mind, by whom God inspired me with Truth. 85. Because of this, I give praise and blessing to God the Father with my whole strength and soul. 86. Holy is God, the Father of all things. 87. Holy is God, who performs and accomplishes his will by his own powers. 88. Holy is God, who determines to be known, and is known by those who are his. 89. You are holy, who has established all things by your Word. 90. You are holy, of whom all Nature is the Image. 91. You are holy, who Nature has not formed. 92. You are holy, who is stronger than all power. 93. You are holy, who is stronger than all excellency. 94. You are holy, who is better than all praise. 95. Accept these sacrifices of reason from a pure soul and a heart that stretches out to you. 96. O unspeakable, unutterable, to be praised with silence! 97. I ask of you that I may never err from the knowledge of you. Look mercifully on me, enable me, and enlighten those who are in Ignorance with this Grace; the brothers of my kind, but your Sons. 98. Therefore, I believe you and bear witness, going into the Life and Light. 99. You are blessed, O Father; your man would be sanctified with you, as you have given him all power.
