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

He is stronger, and one, and only, knowing all things indeed, since there is nothing more ancient than himself.
