Hermes Trismegistus—meaning “Hermes the Thrice-Great”—is a legendary figure who blends the Greek god Hermes with the Egyptian god Thoth. He’s said to be the author of the Hermetica, a wide mix of ancient and medieval writings that became the foundation for Hermeticism, a major influence on Western mystical and philosophical traditions.
