Do any of you polcobsons know anything about Hermeticism? Is it worth learning about? I'm buying some more books and I'm thinking about picking up the Corpus Hermeticum.

Don't buy The Kybalion, it's not actually Hermetic

Hermes trismagistus. Hermes, emerald tablets. Founder of alchemy, (includes metallurgy btw), which is a sort of theoscientific world view to explains the foundation of everything.
Even the catholic and orthodox churches were interested in alchemy, since is was the beginnings of science.

Better to download free pdfs and audiobooks.
Ita a fascinating read, but is heretical in that Hermes is alluded to be jesus.

I know its heretical and I'm not saying I want to "convert" or anything, but I figure it might be worth knowing about anyway.

Yeah, its totally worth knowing about. All early scientists were alchemists. The presidents were alchemists, and many many kings throughout history were as well.
A lot of people still practice it today.

And I will say, there are many near word for word parallels in hermeticism that match within the bible.

Are there any other sources on Alchemy I should know about? I've always found it fascinating.

Uhm, the emerald tablets are on the internet, on a website i cant remember, just Google geg.

And for books, I just yourube search 'alchemy audiobook' and set the search to 20 minutes and above and go from there. You can do tbe same with heretic books and what not. 99% is free if you look.
